Hi everybody! I've found a really nice and old Eastman Color 5254 in a 135 cartridge on Ebay, see the attached image. I asked Dale Labs (which is mentioned on the catridge) and was told the lab's boss confirmed the catridge actually was prepared by them, sometime in the 1970s it seems. Now I'd be curious if I could successfully shoot something with it in my SLR and develop it at home, but this seems to be ECN film (not ECN-2) and I won't be able to find any chemicals for this anymore. Could I use this with modern black and white chemistry? Then I could even shoot each subject 3 times, through red, green and blue filters and in the end put it together to a color image again or at least have some B&W images. What do you think? Could using modern black and white chemicals work? I assume this also has a remjet I need to get rid of at the start. I only have this one single catridge and would like to get the most out of it.
