The 5219 was exposed and developed both rating at EI 800. So the developing time was extended for 40 seconds. The other process are as the manual tells of the ECN-2 kit I bought. Noted: I tend to overexpose one stop than the meter suggests at daylight when the meter is pointed to the lightened ground. I have got decent results and better histogram distribution on digital. The film density looks very high, the film roll looks darker than the previously lab-developed 5219. My father uses Silverfast 8 and Plustek 8200iSe to scan my film. He turned on the ISRD feature to remove dust and scratches. However, with the ISRD on, the images are fine on preview, but all corrupted at the final output. Normally, when clicking into the infrared layer, only dust and scratches are shown. However, on this 5219, it shows the whole image in the infrared layer. He took a picture of the screen display: The SilverFast claims that the ISRD function does not work for BW film and Kodachrome because there are silver grains on the film, which reflect or deflect the infrared ray, and let the ISRD function mistakes the grains as dust and scratches, corrupting the whole image. Examples are easily found on google. Summarize the information I collected, I highly suspect the bleaching process with this ECN-2 kit was incomplete on this roll of 5219. It left a layer of silver grain upon the emulsion. I googled and learned the “bleach by-pass” for cinematography film processing, which creates the special visual effect with the silver atop the dyes. To support this, the provided image from the Plustek 8200i “Quick scan”, shows highly washed color and overexposure in scanning:
