ECN-2 film development & processing

Description

Development and processing for a single roll of ECN-2 film such as Vision3 or Eterna/Reala, 35mm or 120. Cross-processing of non-remjet films such as regular C-41 is also no problem!

I usually process on Fridays and ship after the weekend when the film is nice and dry. If you can get your films to me before Friday you’ll have your negatives in a nice sturdy cardboard envelope on Tuesday or Wednesday 95% of the time, unless I have a giant backlog, or you ordered scanning and there’s a lot of scans waiting, or you chose push/pull processing. I’ll keep you informed on the status and expected lead time when I receive your film😉

• Please, keep it to a maximum of 2 scanned rolls per order! Of course, processing the rest of your rolls without scans is no problem. This limitation will be lifted eventually, but I don’t have a proper full roll scanner (yet). If you have a lead on a Frontier/Noritsu/Pakon, please get in touch!
  
• If you have any scanning wishes,  such as raw TIFFs together with or instead of the regular JPEGs, add a note to your order. If you want uncorrected scans (negative, with the orange base intact) or hand-graded scans with custom wishes, send me a message first.
• Negatives are cut into strips of 6 and stored in transparent minilab sleeving by default. 35mm can be stored in an ADOX Adofile sleeve for a fee.
• <6 per strip is possible as well, with a minimum of 4. If you don’t need scans and come to pick up your negatives I can also leave the roll uncut if you prefer.

Sample images are scans of Vision3 250D, 500T, and 500T pushed to ISO 3200. And yes, that’s my cat 🐱

Shipping

Ship your roll(s) to the address listed on the contact page. Make sure to write your order number on the package, or on a note.

Notes

• ECN-2 film (apart from Cinestill) is spooled into used canisters by hand. This can lead to small scratches lengthwise along the film base. Usually they come out fine as remjet wiping does not scratch the film. If any scratching occurs, Digital ICE (which is what my scanner uses) takes care of it.
• I can do souped film. But, you’ll have to let me know before ordering that you have a souped can, and you’ll get a custom order. I’ll charge a bit extra as I need to run your film through my processor separately from the rest to prevent damaging other customer’s films.
• I will cross-process regular non-remjet backed films for you without any extra cost! Keep in mind that this is experimental though, I can’t guarantee correct color results as the color developer chemistry is different between processes.
• If you have any special requests (for example a bleach bypass, or an analog contact sheet from the darkroom), please send me a mail first via the contact form so we can work out the details.
• I also sell ECN-2 chemistry kits if you want to DIY your ECN-2 film development! They’re formulated exactly the same as I use them in the lab.
