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,

It shouldn't be 20 years old. I believe that 5293 didn't come out until
the early 1990s.


There's confusion about. Eastmancolor 5293 250T was introduced in 1982
and discontinued in 1983. This is, I assume, what the OP has.

EXR color negative 5293 200T was introduced in 1992. This is what
Scott is speaking of.

I have no idea why the two different stocks have the same numerical
designation. Both probably use the ECN-2 process though, so maybe it
doesn't matter.
