A Celebration of E6

I hope they keep making the chemicals to process it. Does anyone uses the Tetenal E6 kit in their Jobo processing machines? What is the cost of the Tetenal E6?
 
Wow this thread has got me thinking I have only shot B&W for a year or so. May have to shoot some of the Velvia I have in the fridge hear at my office:)
 
I love chromes!
I'll miss E6 dearly. Let's hope it will stay longer than anticipated.

A few of my 2013 chromes (Mamiya RB/RZ 67, Velvia50):

LONG LIVE E6!!!!! :)
 
Awesome chromes everyone! I do love me some E6. Picking up two rolls of Velvia 50 from the lab today. Hopefully I did something right ;)

In the meantime....

Provia 400X in a Canon EOS 7


Velvia 100 in a Fuji GW690III


Velvia 50 in the same Fuji


Come on 5 o'clock! I want to see how badly I messed up those two rolls. :rolleyes:
 
Nice work, BW400CN.

Are you using up frozen stock of Elitechrome, or are these older images? I don't notice any color shift.

Plus, that Retina IIIs is putting out some nice images; what lens are you using with it?

I use the last Elitechrome that I could buy end of last year - running out feb. 2014 - stored at room temperature :rolleyes:
I´ve got 8 roll left that I´m going to shot to the end of 2014 - then Kodak and slides are history - I´m trying a Fuji Velvia 50 in my Nikon f90 @ the moment - maybe I will like it :angel:
If I like it I would love to do some 6x6 slides with my Voigtländer Brillant S and my Pentacon Six TL.

Lenses - I´m ain´t sure which lens I used on which pic but I have only 3 for the Retina IIIS:
Schneider - Kreuznach Curtagon 2,8 35mm
Schneider - Kreuznach Xenar 2,8 500
Schneider - Kreuznach Tele Xenar 4,0 135mm

I should write down the exifs - I know!!! :angel:
 
I love reversal film. I still have quite a bit of Kodak E100G in the freezer and I will be sorry when it's gone. I'm also concerned about E-6 chemistry and processing. I'm trying to use as much of the film as I can these days.

Who makes the chemicals for E6 processing? are they so specific to E6 chemistry, or are they generally available?

Ferrania is planning on releasing slide film next year, so I suppose they must have planned for the continuation of E6 chemicals being available, or making them available themselves.

Apologies for being so ignorant, but I am dreading the demise of slide film, if it does indeed die. Not sure I would want to stay with film photography without it, negs just don't have the impact, and have grain I could well do without.

Can anyone give me some assurance?

There are E6 development kits around, you can buy them from shops who deal with the analog stuff. The 3-bath kits (Tetenal etc) are simple and home-usable with bath-tempered single tank developing.

The proper 6-bath (I only know Fuji Hunt Chrome 6x) bring superior results and also give probably better longetivity for your slides, but the 6-bath kit also requires more skills on development - you're better off using a processor.

I think E6 will stay IF we keep buying it. A simple law of "interest and supply".
It probably will get more expensive, since it's already somewhat a niche in film terms but I'm hoping it'll be here for affordible prices for at least for some 5 years.

In any case we, who love it, should keep shooting E6 to show the manufacturers we analog photographers STILL have a lot of intrest in slides!
