Who's left in the E6 biz?
Who's still producing E6 film. Here's my attempt at a comprehensive
list: Kodak Fuji Konica Agfa Ferrania Any Eastern European E6 producers? Or any others? |

Hum wonder if its reboxed Fomapan R Made in the Czech Republic?
Anyway Fomapan R is cool stuff. In article , (ChrisPlatt) wrote: On 9/2/04 (Steven Sawyer) wrote: Any Eastern European E6 producers? Or any others?

Hum wonder if its reboxed Fomapan R Made in the Czech Republic? No. certainly not. Macochrome is Color, E6, Fomapan R is probably some kind of bw movie stock and not available in sizes beyond 135. Anyway Fomapan R is cool stuff. Indeed - good sharpness and grain, nice tone, and stunning latitude for a slide film.

This is confirmed, and further it cannot be developed to a negative in conventional B&W processing due to a colloidal silver antihalation layer. The only practical way I know of to get a negative from Fomapan R is to develop in a color developer with the same black dye couplers used in XP2 or BW400CN type C-41 B&W films, then bleach and fix as for C-41. For B&W positives, of course, you use the regular first dev, non-halogenating bleach, reversal exposure, second dev, fix process that would produce a positive on any B&W material -- but the bleach step is mandatory to remove the silver AH layer. Anyway Fomapan R is cool stuff. Indeed - good sharpness and grain, nice tone, and stunning latitude for a slide film. Never tried it, but I might have to get a short roll and try it in my Minolta 16 cameras once I have the resources to do reversal processing -- using Diafine for a first dev should give EI 160 to 200, and grain would be determined by the second dev, which could be a super-fine grain soup like Microdol-X or Ilfosol. -- I may be a scwewy wabbit, but I'm not going to Alcatwaz! -- E.
