Re: E6 processing

FWIW I have had no problem mixing Velvia and Provia in the same batch, but I have not tried mixing films from different manufacturers in recent times.
No what I meant was mixing Kodak with Fuji. The films are all E6 process but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the technical make up of the emulsions and the dyes are different
They should all be compatible with one-another.
The formualtion of the films will be slightly different, but basically the same - they are, after all, designed to be machine processed with other flms using E6 standard chemistry, and it would be a brave manufacturer who made a film that consistently messed up an entire processing line.
Having said that, the only problems I have ever had involved Kodak Portra 160 colour negative film (C41 process), where some (but by no means all) rolls seem to give the dev a strong green colour - almost like antifreeze - but this dissapears by the enxt time the dev is used.
