8x10 E-6 Suggestions

[jshanesy]

Do you shoot EPY outside? I suppose you can balance anything in PS. Curiously, the one time I've ever shot LF color was about 10 years ago using VPL a la Meyerowitz. But this time I want to try some chromes. If I like what I see and decide to pursue color for the longer term, then film choice will need to be nailed down. Til then, Provia is a starting point. And it's a film I've used in 35mm and MF, so at least I have a little familiarity with it.

I would be interested to know, Jim, if you have any suggestions for E6 labs in the DC area who can handle 8x10.

Use an 85B to filter EPY outside. Chrome in Georgetown (Q Street, just off Wisconsin) does excellent E-6 processing. They can even enlarge them if you want to have big Ilfochromes made.

Next Mid-Atlantic shooting outing I'll bring some 64T Chromes for you to look at.

i Hate Provia... too much blue for my taste and for the light over here !
i much prefer Kodak 100G, but that's a personnal choice !
While i found that Astia was a good compromise, i stop using it, the greens wasn't very nice !
it depends on : your taste, your lens, your type of shooting, your light condition... and your lab as well !

I agree with archivue's points. Kodak E100VS is what I use for 8x10.
