Howdy,

I would like to give my opinion of the new E-6 'compatible' CIR, in saying 
that I will be sticking to the original EA-5 process film ands cross 
procerssing it in my own formula. Although the new film is very convenient, 
I have found, as have others, that the contrast is through the roof  and 
eliminates the 'subtelty' and many of the fine details I love so much about 
a good medium contrast colour IR image. I am particularly referring to skin 
tone, which I find very pleasing through my altered C-22 process, but on 
the new E-6 compatible film, I don't get a skin tone because its blown out!

Not to worry...

Cheers,


Jesse.
