I still use a significant ammount of slide film. Usually Kodak Elite 100 or Sensia 100 and have been sending them off to either Jessops, Peak Immaging, and Fuji, and have NOT been impressed with the results. The colours are either washed out, the whole film has a cast, or they are too dark for the purpose they were intended for.

In utter desperation I bought a 1 litre kit of Tetenal E6 and this will do 8 films if I process 2 at a time. The kit is supposed to do 12 but I use one mix and discard the chemicals after. I use new chemicals with every two films

The results are a real revelation. Good intense blacks, no colour cast and just what I want. (and cheaper as well!!!!)It is a 35minute bind to wait whilst the JOBO processor does its stuff but well worth it at the end.

I have heard that mixing different E6 films in with a developing bath will affect the end result, as this is undoubtedly what the labs do, I wonder if this is why getting the good results that I am
