My Last Ektachrome duds at lab

[Tscan]

I took my last 4 rolls of 16mm 100D reversal and my Bolex H16 on road trip a few weeks ago. Projected the results last night and they were a little disappointing. The frames came out on the milky side and the colors didn't pop like what you expect from E100D. The lack of density was most obvious on under exposed shots. I used the same lab that i always do, where I always get great results. The E6 chemistry must be going stale because it's not running nearly as often as it was a year ago. This could be the case at any lab. So if someone is holding onto their precious last few rolls of E100D, or paying a massive premium for existing stock... you may want to check with your lab first and make sure their E6 chemistry is running up to speed. I'm debating having it scanned now, but maybe it could be good for added contrast and grading a better look?

...and your lab is?

Did you contact the lab about your problem? You should inspect the film under a lightbox with a loupe and see if the film edges are milky. If the chemistry was bad then you'll have your problem across the film, but if the film outside your framing is a solid black then the issue could be your exposure.
