Eastmancolor Film #5293
I have a 35 mm film roll I need developed but I can't find anybody who will
develop it. It is Eastmancolor #5293 ASA 250 I believe the company I got if from went out of business "MSI P.O. Box 2736 Portland OR 97208 I mailed it to them but it was returned and Snapfish said they couldn't develop it either, can anyone please help me, I took photos of my children about 20 years ago with it and I would hate to loose the photos before I see them. I would appreciate any help you could offer me. Thanks, Dan Qualls |

I would appreciate any help you could offer me. Thanks, Dan Qualls What you've got is movie stock spooled for 35 mm cameras. Seattle Filmworks and others used to sell it and process it, but they all went to C41 eventually. I'm not sure any commerical lab will touch it now because it gunks up their processing. Try Dale, they might still have a service for it, but because no one's selling the stuff for 35mm anymore, I don't know that they'd process it. It is a film meant for 35mm movies, which are shot as negatives and then printed on film for release, so they sold it as a film that gave you negatives and slides (they printed it on film to give you the slide, the same as it was printed to make a release 35mm movie). If Dale can't help, and if the successor to Seattle Filmworks can't help, your last resort would be Rocky Mountain Film Labs. They process it at great cost, but I didn't see 5293 listed, only 5294 and 5296. Hopefully that's what you have and you mistyped the number. Anyway, they are worth a try: http://www.rockymountainfilm.com/ -- Michael |

Thank you for the comment, that explains a lot. I have been in the dark for
some time now as to why nobody would process the film, I got the film back in the 80's as a promotion from MSI out of Portland OR. It is film # (5293) and I couldn't find it anywhere either on-line but that is what is printed on the cannister..

In addition to everything Michael said, be aware that that film has an amazingly short shelf life. I shot some of it just to try it out a long time ago, and it all turned purple in about 5 years. Good luck... |

It is Eastmancolor #5293 ASA 250 This is color negative motion-picture film, balanced for tungsten light. It's really listed as EI 200 in the Kodak brochures. The process is "ECN-II" and any motion-picture film lab should be able to develop it, although most won't touch such a short length or will charge a very high minimum fee. It should have BH-type perforations instead of KS-type perfs that are normally used on film for 35mm still cameras. Obviously, you won't get normal 4x6" prints or contact sheets from a motion-picture lab. You would have to take the negatives to a regular lab for those. You could also try Rocky Mountain Film Labs. Do not try running it through a C-41 machine; the ram-jet backing will make a mess and probably wreck someone else's film. I mailed it to them but it was returned and Snapfish said they couldn't develop it either, can anyone please help me, I took photos of my children about 20 years ago with it and I would hate to loose the photos before I see them. It shouldn't be 20 years old. I believe that 5293 didn't come out until the early 1990s. |

Your film should be expired. As 5293 should stop production in 2000. So
rating at EI 200 maybe a bit dangerous. Also this is a tungsten balance film stock. -- - ================== Lonely Boy http://www.hmlai.com/ ================== - "afedexman" u42034@uwe ¼¶¼g©ó¶l¥ó·s»D:810704e514ec7@uwe...

Last I checked, these three labs can develop and print it http://www.dalelabs.com http://www.aandi.com/film_pro2.htm http://www.thecamerashop.com/downloa...126seattle.pdf I've used dale and aandi for Fuji Eterna 500T within the 18 months. As others have pointed out, your film may well have deteriorated over time. -- Michael Benveniste -- Spam and UCE professionally evaluated for $419.

Anyway, they are worth a try: http://www.rockymountainfilm.com/ -- Michael The reason that it gunks up the processor is because there is a coating on the film ("remjet") that must be removed before processing. Standard C-41 film doesn't have this, so the coating will come off in the developer tank and get all over the next 20 or 30 rolls of film thru the machine. You could also try Film Rescue International for processing. If you shot this film over twenty years ago, it's likely that there have been color changes and the contrast will have decreased. Film rescue usually developes old film to B&W and uses some 'tricks' to enhance contrast. Public Service Announcement: Please do not wait twenty years before processing your film! |
