Ektachrome/Elitechrome Processing
With the death of Ektachrome/Elitechrome announced, I bought a few
rolls to use and freeze from B&H. Most of the labs i've used for processing have stopped E4 and there is nothing local at all. I used Dwayne when they were doing the Only Remaining Kodachrome processing but always thought their E4 was not as good as their K14. Anyone have a mail order source of a reliable quality E4 processing lab for this last of the Ektachromes? I don't need push processing, just by the book exposure in a Nikon F. -- Michael |

And E6 "kits" of chemistry are available from darkroom supply sources. Such kits may have sufficient chems to develope about 6 rolls, more or less, and may sell for around $25. Separate E6 chemicals are available in bulk from photolab supply sources; personally, I'd recommend Trebla chems from CPAC. If you are searching for E4 processing, I think you will find it nearly non-existant. Except for some specialty labs, like FIlm Rescue International in Canada. Finding E6 processors shouldn't be too difficult, depending on where you are in the world. -- Ken Hart |

I used Dwayne when E-6. Most large cities have processors - though fewer (I have two sources in Montreal left from about 7 five years ago). -- "A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds." -Samuel Clemens. |

Ektachrome/Elitechrome Processing
Yup. E4 was a blast from the 1970s past. I meant E6. But I still want a
very reliable E6 lab. -- Michael |
