Re: slide film

[petermarshall@xxxxxxxxx (Peter Marshall)]

I used to do E6 myself with few problems until I saw the light and 
switched to negative. As you say it is simple. 

A decent sized waterbath sorts out the problem with temperature control; 
one-shot chemistry and a decent measuring cylinder avoid problems with 
developer consistency at least as well as lab monitoring procedures.

I could process a film for less than half of the charge at my local lab. I 
could also have it finished and dry in about half the time it would take 
me to go to the lab and back.
