Ecn 2 help

[Cabledog]

So I got some 120 and 35mm vision 3 500t to develop but I've read that it really should be done in ecn2 process and not c41. Aside from the remjet issue I'm having trouble finding any info on where to get cd3 and other chemicals needed for ecn2. Someone had mentioned RA-4 in lieu of CD3. Anyone have any info to help??

Remove the remjet and the rest of it goes exactly like C41.

I finding ecn 2 in c-41 to be better. ECN2 is weird looking film, even D, any way.

Interesting. I read c41 causes some strange color shifts and little more grain. Guess I'll try in c41 and see what happens.

You will get colour cross-over if you use C41. I haven't tried it but RA4 should be better. Have a look here: https://ntphotoworks.com/shop/colour-motion-picture-films-the-end-game/

It does, but the chemistry is wrong and the colours are shifted slightly. Sort of okay if you're scanning, but can be hard to fix. Horrible if you're wet printing.

I'm not wet printing. Thanks for the link! I'm going to try the ra4. If I read that correctly then all I'm changing is the developer and using the regular Blix and stabilizer per same times I do for c41?

That's correct.

When using ra4 what is the dilution and temperature and time?

Don't know the correct answer as I only tried it once with the dilution recommended for RA4 paper (1+4?) and this dilution at 3:15 and 38deg gave me a negative that was clearly overdeveloped.
