Ludwig Hagelstein Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) In short: A little experiment: Take 5294 Ektachrome, processed as a Neg in ECN-2, pushed 4 stops, basically until completion at this point - for science ;)... I was surprised it yielded a color image after all. Brace for impact with some heavy grain though: Kodak 5294 / E.I. 1000 Edited December 7, 2022 by Ludwig Hagelstein 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Hagelstein Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Here's a crop of the absolutely horrible blotchy mess of film grain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Mosness Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It's all in the eye of the beholder. I find the grain level to be rather appealing in the same way I like the see the texture in a pencil drawing. Do you happen to remember the stop / shutter speed ?

Karim D. Ghantous Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Not bad for four stops given that it's Ektachrome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aperture was defniitely wide open, at 2.8, and I'd say from the blurry finger the time was below 1/30. The next step is to see how it will look in motion 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Sekanina Posted December 8, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted December 8, 2022 Just to get an idea of the grain size relative to the negative size, are these full frame 35mm stills or frames from a super 35 motion picture camera , or S16 motion picture camera? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Should have clarified. For this first test I used a 35mm stills camera. The resulting neg is 24x36, or in other terms an 8-Perf Vistavision image. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted December 9, 2022 Premium Member Share Posted December 9, 2022 Okay, for full frame that is fairly crunchy. Do we assume it was exposed for 1000, give or take the gradual failure of extreme pushing to achieve the theoretical increase it should?
