Canon LTM Cross process on my Canonet

[Assaf]

All taken from one roll of Agfa slide film developed in standard negative color process (C41).
Taken about two week ago in Jaffa and Tel-Aviv. Some are blurry, some are not correctly exposed and all have wierd color shifts. But I like them anyway.
Three sets of three photos each.

First set - golden streets in Jaffa

I really like the shot of the sea and the rocks, great colors.

A friend of mine said I cannot cross process anywhere because developing slide film into negative chemicals contaminates the chemicals and they cant be used anymore and it mucks up machines. I highly doubt his comments but have not tried it yet. Can you give me any tips?

It's true that it contaminates the chemicals. Some cheap pharmacy labs don't care... But often prolabs will ask you to pay an extra. For exemple, Negatif+ asks an extra 1.70 euros for crossprocess...

strange, I guess its an icky thing indeed. I want to try it anyway though. Might go to a cheap place and have them to it there on a cheap roll to try it out.

It is true that a color negative process causes slide films to emit colors and contaminates the chemicals.
However, there are labs that are specialized in cross process and don't mix slides with negatives. They'll also take care of the color balance which can be problematic in such a process. I can recommend a really good lab, but it's in Tel-Aviv....

Anyway, different slide films give different effects. The best I know is Agfa Precisa. Another great feature of this film is that it gets transparent after developing, unlike Fuji slides that become greenish - which causes you troubles when you scan them.

Assaf, I never worked in a lab, but I think it is NOT true. As much as I know only Kodakchrome contaminates C-41 chemicals. But I am not 100% certain about that...

Anyway, here are some examples of different films and what happens when you cross- process them. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]

This cross- processed picture I shoot with a Canonet GIII as well.......Film was Kodak....enjoy....

Great images from your Canonet, Assaf. I've been wanting to see more photos from other users of this camera. And the cross processing only seems to help your photos.

And ISO, I love that vw bug picture!! Great stuff.
