Color neg in E6, E6 film in C41. No big deal, but sometimes the results are way way out there. I was in Calypso imaging one day last year when a gentleman came in to pick up some film he had left for processing. He had just shot a wedding. When he looked at the film he let out a yelp! He had shot the wedding on E6 Ektachrome and submitted it for processing on a cross processing request. Needless to say, his customer was probably not happy with the resultant negatives. They were certainly printable but the colors were very bizarre. Jim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
