I use Argentums strange "modified E6" process, which is the one you are
talking about- they describe it a little differently depending on who you
talk to. I like the results but would be very interested to hear what
someone else thinks about it. I could send you a scan if you like, which
would give you some idea. You need to rate the film at 100 ISO though- that
is what they assume when they process it.
