RE: Question regarding getting EIR processed

[Ray.Hale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     If you process b/w yourself, you can easily process EIR in the same 
     metal tanks, using the inversion agitation method.  I buy the Tetanal 
     E-6 3-Bath Plus, 1 liter kits.  The kit is good for three batches of 
     two rolls each, adding processing times for each batch.  The 
     instructions are very clear.  I don't have any fancy temp control, 
     simply use a warm water bath to hold the tank and bottles during 
     processing, keeping a close eye on the thermometer.  I've had 100% 
     success so far with the first 19 rolls (I screwed up 1 roll of the 
     brick before it ever got out of the camera).  Some of my students use 
     the E-6 kits for their work also and are very successful.
     
     If you're wondering why - well, my experience is that my film is too 
     valuable to let anyone else develop or print. I've had way too many 
     rolls cross-processed by accident or just plain screwed up by weak or 
     contaminated chemicals, even by conscientious labs.  I wouldn't let 
     anyone else shoot my work, why let them process or print it?  
     Understand that this is just my personal feeling and I know other 
     people work differently for a variety of reasons.  
     
     My purpose is to encourage you to try it if your feelings run like 
     mine.  It's quite easy, takes less than an hour (including 
     set-up/clean-up), and is cheap ($4/roll) and most satisfying.  Just 
     remember not to judge the film until it's completely dry.  It looks 
     horrible right out of the tank.
