E6 Times?

[mr_x]

Hi,

Have posted this in the past but can't find the thread so am re-posting the question, just to be on the safe side.

I have two 50' lots of 16mm Kodak Ektachrome 7285 (asa100) to develop. The last advice I had was First Developer time: 6',15" with second processing time at 6',20" and so forth. Just checking to see if this is still okay please?

Thanks,

Ric

5 seconds time difference on an amount of 375 seconds??? Considering all factors I doubt this will make any noticeable difference.

Thanks, well I thought timings were pretty critical - especially for colour technology?

Found the thread, was courtesy of Richard down under ;)

if using tetenal chemistry, 1 litre can process 5 rolls. Each roll will have different first dev, second dev and blix times. The tetenal booklet that comes with the film will provide enough info to work out these times. They will be something like this:

1st film: 6.15, 6, 6
2nd film 6.20, 6.20, 6.20
3rd film 6.30, 6.50, 6.50
4th film 6.40, 7.30, 7.30
5th film 6.55, 8, 8

You could develope 1 further film but the exhaustion of the chemistry will begin to show. With the times I have give there should be no difference between the 1st and 5th roll.
