House - unaltered original positive - C22 stand development E4 film

#Kodak #ektachrome #E4 1977 vintage #Stand developed in #C22 #homebrew. Gnarly #BromideSlide at times. Stand process borrowed from C41 stand - Color Developer - 45 minutes w/initial 30 second agitation, stop 4 min, wash, potassium ferricyanide bleach - 45 minutes, wash 4 min, fix with ammonium thiosulfate fixer (Ilford Rapid 1+4) 8 minutes, wash 8 minutes, hang. This is a new 1970s Nikkor ai 35-105mm (possibly earlier converted). Love this lens it is NOT this soft. Softness is probable caused by C22 benzyl alcohol causing the colors to run, etc. C22 needs the BZA to access the color in the emulsion, supposedly but it drifts as it goes, so stand probably isn't the best way to go, unless the artistic effect is worth it. Or changing either the dilution of the developer or the BZA in the developer. Good news, moving the potassium alum and the sodium thiosulfate out of the stop and the fixer seems to have alleviated the deposits and streaks on the film... however this film REALLY needs a hardening bath.... thanks, hope this is interesting!

    @charliedontsurf here is the original just inverted from the negative. I like everything except the softness. I think I'll reshoot it and do regular C22 and see how it turns out, now that I have some kinks worked out.

    @mike1allison if you perfect this c22 you could offer a service for it, I found someone offering it for $42 a roll, inc p& p!

    @charliedontsurf Yes I think the fine fine-ness is in the development. My scanning set up is messy at best, but I think I can get the depth when I need it. The pictures WOULD be in focus and there is some issue about the dye flow in C22 and E3/4 due to the alcohol. Even though alcohol usually makes everything better :D
