E200 - E6 Home Processing
      07/02/09 03:13 PM

For those interested - we are asking those with experience in the processing specifically of E200 film (for now) with the E6 process to give us an introduction to what is involved. This would be classed as hand dipping.

The gist of this thread would be so that those of us interested would have the following:

A] Equipment required - trays - holders - a general outline. Estimated cost of such equipment - and where we can buy it (Fleabay) etc. This would be specific to 35 and 120 MF film.

B] Developer materials - E6 process - and where to buy it direct (Kodak or camera store) and again - estimated costs. How long does it sit in storage?

C] The general process of developing the E200 and what's involved.

D] Anything I've missed or should be included. I'm asking specifically about E200 at this point in time. If Kodachrome film was pulled by Kodak, can E200 be far behind? I see this as a safe guard in some ways, as it would allow those concerned to stock up and freeze sufficient quantities of E200 and have the materials to develop it in the future - should it come to that.

Once we have the E200 process done - we can start new threads on developing other films - negatives and B&W - which interests me. Lots of B&W developing stuff being sold off cheap.

OK? I'm all ears. I've got 6 rolls of E200 ready to be processed.
