Not really............is there B&W slide?? Alos @EION can Bang Bang Gang process color slides?

Yes, some BW films can processed to BW- slides (positives) with a different kind of process. The base layer has to be clear, of course.

AGFA Scala was the most famous, ADOX Silvermax could be processed also to slides instead of negatives.

It is called "reversal- developing".

Not sure how I can explain it better, better than Klaus that is.

 

You are faced with three basic choices.

 

B&W, you now all about this, so it needs no explanation. T-Max, HP5, FP4, Delta, and all the others.

 

Colour negative. Same deal, you have used them already, Portra, Ektar, etc, etc.

 

Colour Slide. Velvia, Provia, (and back in my day, Agfa RS100, Ektachrome), etc.

 

And since you asked, yes, there is (I think) B&W "slide"film, so B&W reversal film. Not sure if it still available though.

 

So, off you trot to take some pictures.

One A-12 back has B&W, lets say Tri-X.

Another A-12 has Portra.

And since you are an affluent rig worker yet another now has Provia in it.

 

Which to use? All of them, or just the one(s) you want. Moody night scenes? Use the Tri-X. Brilliant colourful Maldives scenes like Dirk is showing us at the moment, Provia for that.

 

Get the idea? Different films stock (not just size or speed/sensitivity difference), but actual end result.

 

I recalled Eoin saying no to the E-6 processing in Singapore etc, so it "could" be problematic. Similar case here, only the one lab doing E-6 now, so I had better get my skates on and finish the frozen Provia I have.

Cheers Gary, it took you a while to get it into my thick skull but its in so no need to dwell on it :) :)

So you'll get an unique "original" with those films:

Imagine that in 3x3 Meters shining bright...

Yes! Colour transparency, colour reversal, slide, colour slide, Diapositive, Dia. The process is E-6. And there are only Fuji Velvia and Fuji Provia left,

so you just have to remember those two names...

There's also still Agfa CT Precisa available.

And to mix things up Neil: you can also develop e6 film like this or like provia in C41 chemicals, which gives you more grain a unpredictable color shifts (cross processing). Google it to see the effect.

The guy in KL said he doesn't do slides so I guess all that extra space in the nodding that you took up Gary needs to somehow get deleted..............give me a beer or three :)

But if you were taking the Hasselblad to Switzerland Neil, I'd have suggested you try some, and get it processed over there.

Mate I'm taking the Leica S with me and depending on how the demo with the H6D goes in the UK I might be leaving the Leica S at my daughters and taking a H6D with me[emoji3][emoji3]

Just to really confuse Neil, you can, in theory, take a colour slide film, develop it in B&W developer, expose it to light to effect the 'reversal' and then develop in C-41 chemicals. I've done it once, and I'm surprised I got an image at all. Very dark and very grainy, but then, I was simply guessing at times and temperatures. All slide film used to require a second exposure to light after the first developer, and that's why film reels were made of clear plastic at one time. The E6 process includes a chemical that does the reversal (mixed in with the colour developer in home kits) instead, and the process is easy but tedious. You have to be careful with temperatures just as with C41, but there are more baths and longer times involved. The thrill of seeing negatives coming off the reel is known to many of us, but colour positives? Even more exciting! It's true that scanning colour slides is so easy compared to colour negatives—no orange base colour and either no colour adjustments or just a minor tweak. Not like the evil Ektar!

The slide stuff has already been erased from my already full brain. I'm going back to digital [emoji3]
