It is not widely known, but the long lived Kodak Color Negative Vision 3 is still very affordable.

The 50D is probably the most fine grained color negative with extreme fine grain and pleasing color, rated at ISO 50 for day light. 
The 250D has essentially the same color pallete but slightly more grainy, rated at ISO 250 for day light.
The 200T and 500T are rated at ISO200 and 500 for T-light. 

All can be used in the cross lightling conditions, but with ISO reduced to about 2/3 of the label.

They are processed in ECN2 chemical, not C41. So you are likely to process at home. The chemical per role is about $2 (instead $1.5 for C41) (check out B&H). 

The main difference in terms of handling is the intial step to remove the remjet. Most people scared away by this, but in fact it is very easy. For details, check out google. 

I found the best way to remove the remjet cleanly is (after remjet removal, before the rest of steps) to remove the film off the spooler out of the processing drum or tank, finger squeeze any remjet residue, then reload to the spooler to continue the process.

Agree on the value for money and the overall performance. It’s the best available colour stock. 

The 2/3 stop hit on ISO is only necessary to be taken in account when converting daylight to tungsten with a Wratten 85 filter (you may want to do that when shooting the tungsten-balanced 3200 K stocks like the 200T and 500T in 5600 K daylight). 

You can process Kodak Vision cine stocks in C-41 without any issues or funky colour shifts. Only the gamma will be visibly steeper. For wet printing a must, for digital processing a non-issue. 

I remove the remjet while watering the film at 39 degrees with 8 grams of baking soda and 1 gram of bicarb with extensive washing afterwards. Then I process it according to the recipe. There will be residues of rem jet after the final rinse which I clean off with a wet paper towel. The rem jet residues have no influence on the development and fixing.
