Processing ektachrome 7240 with E6 kit

[Heersbeer]

Hi,

I recently bought a tetanal E6 kit with the intension of processing ektachrome. I would like to ask if anyone has any expierence on using this kit and maybe tell me at what temperature i should work and what the developing times are.

thanks,

Heersbeer

Ektachrome is not an E-6 film stock, it's a VNF film stock. Needs a different chemistry set.

That is not true, it can be done, the images will just look a bit magenta-like but i heard this can be solved by a bit of sulfuric acid. I'm just looking for developing times and temperature.

I would be very careful about using a non recommended chemistry.I've seen people screw around with processes and while they have produced an image,I've seen that same image fade very quickly.I knew a guy that processed slides at very high temperatures and fudged on chemistry and while he could get them processed and on the air (this was back in the day when TV stations used slides for graphics),the image faded to magenta and was just about gone the next day.Perhaps John P can shed some more light on the specifics.I don't think E-6 removes the anti halation backing,I could be wrong on this though.
