E-6 Reversal using C-41 Chemistry and Black and White Developer (HC-110, Rodinal etc)
So I don't shoot slide film enough to justify having the E6 chemistry on hand, but have seen this process come up a few times where you effectively use a common black and white developer to do a first development on the film, which is subsequently taken out of the developing tank, fogged intentionally using a light source, and development continues using C41 chemistry. This is similar to the E6 process which also uses a first developer, but differs in that E6 uses a chemical fogging agent.
Has anyone tried this and had any decent results? I've got a bulk roll of Ektachrome to do some experiments but the less film wasted the better.
