Samuel Berger Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Kent Bulza just informed me that Single-8 film is EM-26 processed. I would like to set up processing for it at home. What equipment would I need? Is there a list of the chemicals anywhere? Will a LOMO tank suffice or do I need something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 EM-26 was the super-8 Ektachrome 160 process. Kodak ditched it a few years ago; I had to send a cartridge of E160G, bought in 1996, to Rocky Mountain Labs in 2001. It doesn't sound right for Single-8.

Films for the EM-26 process were discontinued years ago. Any film you have now would likely be outdated and give poor results, regardless of the reversal process used. Perhaps you have a newer film that was finished by a repackager for the Single-8 format that is intended for process E-6? How is the film labeled?

Samuel Berger Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Well, the film in question is Fuji's current Single-8 stock. I ordered some from Kent and haven't received it yet. This was my question to him: I would like to know, what is the process for Single-8 film? Is it E-6? Because labs that process E-6 are not hard to find... Thanks This was his answer: EM-26. Single-8 has a rem jet not found on the new Super 8 films processed in E6. The film we were talking about was this one, sold through his site: http://www.single8film.com/buyr25n.html Expiration: 2006-11 Emulsion: 739-031 So maybe he is mistaken regarding the process?

I believe that you need to send it to Japan for processing: http://fujifilm.jp/personal/film/8mm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To discover what process is used, and to try home processing of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Frank Bruinsma http://www.super8.nl/english/e_index.htm is still processing EM-26 apparently, as well as Single-8, so perhaps he'd tell you the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
