Conclusion - it was an interesting experiment, but at $10 for a roll of 24 a
rather expensive one - more expensive than regular slide film, and far more
expensive than regular B&W - I don't think I'll bother again, I'll stick to
colour slides and B&W negs.

Have you looked at what shooting and processing of Agfa Scala would
cost wherever you are? Because that would giev you B&W slides without
teh blue/green problems.

I know agfa make a film specifically for B&W slides, and kodak have a
reversal kit for regular films. trouble is, I haven't been able to find a
source for them here in oz. that's why I experimented with cross-processing
the XP2


You can mix your own reversal chemicals. Check the Ilford website for
thier formulas. Or various sites on the web. For example this one.

If you want B&W slides why not just use B&W silver film and process for
slides?

[In Oz] $10 for a roll of 24 [XP2]
$10 for 24 exposures?! If you're in the US ... B&H ...$2.99

The exchange rate for US/AU is ~.76, and so it is $7.60 a roll
down under. Not that far off the American spot market.
