FUJI RMS E6 film in C41 in my 6x7 Mk II with Great Results!

I went out into Brentwood with my Pentax 6x7 Mk II gear loaded with a roll of my 2002 outdated FUJI RMS E6 film which I rated at 100 ASA -- I used several lenses and the 'Spot Metering ' on a couple . I processed in 'Very Well Used' C41 where the Colour Dev looked 'Black' and gave it 5 mins and was AMAZED at the results -- exactly like the New Harman Phoenix 200 un-masked film. I scanned with CANON 9000F Mk II + Vuescan Pro to TIFFS + FastStone
Image Viewer but they needed hardly ANY 'Colour Adjustment - so close to life-like colours !

Lovely, clean, sharp images. There's a great deal of pleasure here for photographer and viewer alike.
Best regards, John

I tried a roll of this once, and then it disappeared from sale. Fuji said that its' replacement was Provia 400X which had pretty good lattitude....

Now for that roll of Astia I have in the fridge...
Z-1p, K-1, P50
F50 1.7. SMC-FAs 24, 35, 50 1.4, 85, 135. HD-FA15-30, DFA24-70, D-FA*70-200. The SMC-FA Limited Trinity.

i was given loads of 5 roll packs from a Camera Club Member who worked in a lab which went broke and he was told to get rid of all that E6 film so he gave it to me years ago and I still have lots in Fridge -- and some 1995 dated 220 size ASTIA !! which STILL WORKS ! I have processed it in the Bellini E6 kit .
