Slide film

Is there even any other manufacturer besides Fuji? Which is trying to get out of the film biz entirely.

>>2917072

AGFA but they're shit.

>>2917068
There's wittner-chrome 200d, which is actually agfa rsx200 but it's only available in 35mm and smaller cine formats. It has a nice vintagey rendering, bit grainy.

>Will we see E6 die in our lifetimes?

dont remind me about it, you prick.

all my digi-output can suck a fat cock and i cant give a single fuck about it, but my slides are going with me into my grave.

>>2917068

I thought Precisa was just repackaged Fuji Sensia. Much as Vista 200 is repackaged C200.

>>2917072
Rollei but the CR200 has a terrible yellow cast. And I'm not sure if Rollei just repackages too, like Agfa.

I hope not, but with Fuji killing their films left and right I'm not confident. I love slides so I'd hate to see it go.

>>2917077
Agfa is long dead.

Agfaphoto just sells repackaged fuji films.


RIP in pieces Agfa RSX, you were the bestest slide film for me :(

>>2917068
sadly it is already pretty much dead
there's almost no emulsions left

>>2917125
but RSX was only really good for cross processing, I find when shot regular it has a heavy blue cast.

>>2917068
>Will we see E6 die in our lifetimes?
absolutely.

It's basically already dead.

Quick poll:

How many of you can get E6 processed in your hometown? When I first started coming to /p/, there were no less than 3 separate labs that did E6. Now there are none. This place is a tire shop now.

I have no idea how it is in Yurop or Asia, but in America, E6 is all but gone.

>How many of you can get E6 processed in your hometown?

i can. but there are only two labs that do. one is a serious store that is expensive, but the work is professional, never a problem with them. the other one is some hipster shit that i dont trust, but i guess its ok that it exists.

>>2917352
most slide films have some kind of cast, provia is also accused of having a blue cast. that's why a lot of people use warming filters when shooting slide film

>>2917393
a couple near me. LA seems to be film central

>Will we see E6 die in our lifetimes?

All film already died with the coming of the 200 dpi digital image.

Let it go.

>>2917394

How do they process their E6? And what city do you live in?

>>2917400
>How do they process their E6?
dunno. some minilab machine?

>And what city do you live in?
santiago. when i asked them to tell legit how long will they keep developing E6, they said tops 2 years. saddening, i think ill shill the fuck out of E6 here so people demand more of that service and force them to keep up with demand.

>>2917396
provia has a blue cast, i dont like it very much but helps with night shots.
velvia has a slight magenta cast wich is lovely.
ektachrome 64 has a cyan cast which looks awesome and can be corrected easily too.

>>2917398
>he's never seen well shot & processed slide film projected with a good light source and a good lens.
you're missing out

>>2917393
Germany, fairly large city.
There's not a single shop in town that'll process E6 in-house. Drug stores still accept slides but everything will get shipped out to some fuckhueg consumer lab (CEWE) that does the processing for pretty much everyone in Germany.

>>2917409

they dont make ektas anymore :(

>>2917393
hometown yes, The Lab in Vancouver is still great, ABC used to be the place but had to get rid of their dip and dunk when they moved.

unfortunately I don't live there anymore and no one does it here, I have to either ship to The Lab or Toronto Image Works

>>2917418
let alone a Cibachrome print

RIP Ciba

``Fujifilm will be discontinuing the following films''

>>2917459
>we at fuji are discontinuing the golden line of slide film, but look, we got these CUTE egg shaped new insta cameras!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>2917466
well it is their most profitable line

>>2917459
i cri evritiem ;_;

>>2917393
On Japan its incredibly easy and cheap. Take your film to any print shop and they'll send your film to Fuji for developing. $5usd for 35mm and $6 for 120.

>>2917393
I've only lived in big cities in the US,
LA, pdx, seattle, never had issues developing e6
I imagine smaller towns have less people shooting slide film though

I don't think E6 will die, I think impossible project or some other indi Art biz will always produce it, I feel as if film has been established as a niche format, but in the future will prob be more expensive
I don't shoot e6 anymore because the film and dev is expensive
I do like to collect slides still tho
I go to garage and estate sales collecting slides to digitize them
My favorite is this one from a Japanese couple that died

Picked up this box recently but it's just a bunch of bird watching bullshit

>>2917600
pretty neat, and morbid

>>2917397
LA here as well. I think there's only one or two actual labs in town nowdays, all the other places just send the film to them for development.

>>2917068
This really makes me sad. Nothing in photography compares to the feeling of looking at a big slide. I feel like I am looking through a window. Looking at it through a magnifier on a light table is just amazing. It makes me sad that this feeling may be lost soon forever. Like tears in rain.

Helsinki, Finland. €6,9 per roll, which is the same as C41. They do E6 twice a week, C41 three times.

There's a place in Tampere that sells old, used cameras which recently started doing their own devs & scans too.

anyone ever try doing diy slides with c41, ie printing color negative film onto another color negative with a clear base? same principle as movie prints.
I'm currently shooting kodak vision film and developing it in ecn-2 chemicals. I'm gonna actually buy 2383 vision print film and copy the negatives using my enlarger, so I can use the color filters to remove any casts, then develop the print film in c41 (couldn't source the ecp-2 chemicals, but I'm guessing any cast from cross processing can be removed with filtration)

seems like a relatively simple way of diy'ing color corrected kodak slides, once you get the workflow in place

>>2917422
www prolab de based in Baden Württemberg - Stuttgart still develops E6 in house.

>>2917393
Vienna Austria

found a lab recently, charged me 6€ for a roll of MF. They do develop twice per week and you can get them back the same day if you bring it there in the morning. Pretty good results too, was satisfied

I develop them myself now, in the photo shop where I work.
Would shoot more of it since I dev for free, but I don't have any good stock, and we haven't gotten any Provia in for a long time.
I wish Fuji would think of us non-Instax users once in a while.

I would be fine if the only E6 left was Velvia, Provia, and Astia, but they were going to be around for the rest of my life.

Astia is already gone and I don't know how long Fuji will maintain Velvia and Provia.

A shame really.... Buy it and shoot it while you can.

>>2917425

No, but at the moment it's still easy to get new old stock.

In Brisbane, just one lab, $17.50 AUD develop only.

>>2917121
And it's grainy as shit.
Has anyone used the clear-base C41 Rollei film, CN200?

>>2917600
One of these days I'll digitize my found slides.

They came from a turned-over filing cabinet on the side of the road in Ottawa. Most of them are a literally autistic documentation of all the constituents of a rural Ontario craft fair. DOZENS of creepy doll photos. I'd say easily 1/4 to a 1/3 of the photos are of dolls. Fucking weird stuff.

When I lived in Orlando I would get my stuff processed at Colonial Photo and Hobby, but they stopped doing E6 developing in-house a couple of years ago and started mailing it to a lab in either Jacksonville or Tampa. Never did try Harmon photo though.

Now that I'm in Chicago, I really need to see how much Central charges for E6 processing because I really want to shoot some Velvia on my Bronica before it gets outlandishly expensive
