Producing slides from BW400CN?

[rckt3]

I recently heard that BW400CN can be developed to slides, and the person was impressed with the them but did not know the exposure or development process needed to accomplish this.

I can find information on Kodak's site for using TMAX 100 and TPan to produce B&W slides.

I would like to try this, but I cannot find the exposure adjustments, nor the development process to produce BW400CN slides.

If you use a slide copier to re-photograph your negatives at 1:1 magnification, the results will be positives (B&W slides) of the negatives. How good they look depends on your exposures and the film you use. I would think that B&W C-41 film might inherently be a bit thin due to the lack of silver in the emulsion but who knows? It's wortha try.

I found the following:

Cross processing C41 film through the E6 processor is possible - we recommend that your film is pushed two stops when taking your photos and also pushing the film by two stops when processing your C41 film.

I will experiment this week-end to see what this looks like as I just picked up a pro pack of 220 BW400CN. Gives me 8 shots a roll to play with 🙂

I would be interested to see you let this thread know the results of your experiment.

I know this is possible with Ilford XP2, but that stuff has no orange base color.

Go to www.dr5.com. That's all he does, make positives out of just about any B&W film. I had him do a couple of rolls of Tech Pan 120 and it was superb. I left a on the big light box at the store that I used tp work at one day and we sold more Tech Pan that day than we had in the year previous.

Unfortunatly, I don't see any of the C41 b&w films listed in their film tests page

Well, the first set of the film is underexposed, and I might be able to make a print out of a couple. This weekend I plan to do more formal film speed + E6 push testing to figure this out better.

I also checked with a couple of local shops to see if they could do a set of film exposures with a calibrated light source and a step wedge but none of them will do it. One does it in house only 🙁 Need to make some more calls to out of state people to do this work, dang.
