Bryan,
I don't do much cross processing, but this film was so expired that I figured why not try. The last round of old Provia I had processed straight E-6 came out with mottled color shifts anyway, so I was curious to see what the cross processing did to it. I agree, the colors are close enough to reality without being cartoonish, but it did make true color balancing almost impossible. I'm OK with that.
