Hi all,
I'm purchasing 40 sheets of Ektachrome (6115 & 6116) and 40 sheets of Ektacolour (6101 and 6102). The seller wants £56 for the lot. How does that sound, bearing in mind prices will possibly be inflated in the UK.
I might actually post an image in the new year!
Best,
Si

I went for it. Its going to be fun regardless!
Well, the fun will be even bigger once you realise that the Ektachrome is E-3 film, and the Ektacolor will be C-22... :-)

Uh-oh!
Google says that C22 was superseded in 1973 for all formats, so I might be lucky?!?
I've also come across this for E-3

This could be interesting..... and expensive perhaps? :rolleyes:

Well, Google is wrong - E-3 and C-22 were around for sheet film for several years after E-6 and C-41 had taken over in roll film. 6101/6102 (i.e. Ektacolor S/L) had been around since the sixties and were C-22.
You can probably get sort of an image out of either, using the current processes with the colour developer replaced by a modified or DIY version - there are quite a few recipes out there for salvaging ancient colour films.

Sevo - you were right!
C-22 and E-3 process!
