A year or so ago I bought on spec 3 unopened boxes of expired 4x5 Ektachrome 64 quite cheap off fleabay. They have been stored in a freezer because the first 25 came out of Tetenal developer spot on with no signs of deterioration. Recently I made a fresh batch of Tetenal soup but blue colour cast is evenly across the film sheet.
Does the problem lay with the developer or the processing technique? With my success earlier I'm discounting the processing and leaning towards the developer.
On the Ektachrome instruction sheet it refers to blue/magenta colour deviation and suggests adding sodium hydroxide to the mixture. Unsure if this is the answer I haven't tried this yet, has anyone else had a go at doing it?
E6 developer stocks are hard to find over here and taking it to a pro lab is costly. If I can resolve this using my current solution that would save me a headache.
