Film Development Choices

[BNLee]

I got some rolls of expired rolls of film in a recent purchase (Thanks Sam!), and I knew I will be getting crazy results out from it anyway...

I wanted to be more creative with this particular roll, so I decided that I would request the labs to cross-process it with E-6 instead of C-41, do you all think it is worth it, or it will be just a waste?

The expired film is Konica Centuria C-41 at ISO 200. I have also been doing a bit of home work and I found that if you want to cross-process C-41 with E-6, then it would be more advisable to shoot the rated film at 3 stops faster or so, am I correct? So assuming I am correct, then since I have been shooting it at ASA 200 rating already, then I will request for the film to be pushed 3 stops higher and only cross process with E-6 am I correct?

Have a nice day everyone.

I think it'll be a toss up either way you try to predict it.
Do one roll, take notes, and adjust for the next one.

And don't forget to post it here, so we can "ooh... aah..." on it collectively 🙂

I use to cross process Agfa RSX100 and had great results. Needless to say I had found something I liked the results from and it was discontinued (Always seems the way). I think it might be worth a go. Bracket and see what you get. If you don't like the results move on.

Thanks for the advice Will and Steve, but any comments on the exposure of the film, since I am shooting on 200 already, that means I should tell the lab to push process it 2-3 stops instead?
