Hi there Kristine ..

I used the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 film scanner, and scanned the 35mm transparency in with it to get the digital file.

With slide film, you get the processed strip of film back. Instead of having the negative colours, it has the positive image. ie, the actual colours you see.

Hello,

Neil, when you say that you scan in the “negatives” does that mean you scan in the slide itself.
(Like the slide with the white plastic around it?)
I’ve never shot with slide film before so Im a bit confused because technically they don’t return negatives, is that correct?

Alyssa … film that expired 30 years ago? Wow. I have no idea how that film would respond. You’re on your own here. : )

i recently got my first roll of slide film cross processed at walgreens however the lady working told me she couldn’t print the negatives.
most of the images on the negatives are extremely hard to see, did i do something wrong or is this normal?
I shot with 30 year expired 200 ektachrome
should i make the +/- setting higher or lower?
should i be pushing or pulling film?
whats the best iso film to be shooting at?

Hello,

I am interested in cross processing either kodak ektachrome or fuji provia 100f (both 120mm) in a holga. However, I was reading how you should change the iso to “trick” your camera into not over exposing the photos. However, the holga has no controlled settings. Does anyone know how this will work in a holga ?
Thanks.

The LC-A plus is a camera marketed and produced by the lomographic society. It was once produced in the lomo factory in the Ukraine, but the production of the plus has now moved to China. Would you be able to better control the results if you processed your own E-6 in C-41 chemistry. I’ve never processed C-41 at home and I know there are a good number of chemicals above and beyond say using rodinal or similar.

Hi guys,

I have a question.. I just recently bought an lc-a+ and some fuji velvia-100, and I was wondering how i would overexpose the image by a stop or two when the lowest iso is 100 on the new lc-a+? I would really appreciate anybody’s response. thanks

Sorry for jumping in…
In regards to what high street labs will do this technique. Snappy snaps is certainly the one your after. Its extremely affordable and does as good a job than any pro lab. I’ve used it all through uni and having been a manager there, its certainly the best one. As neil said, cross processing is not by any stretch an exact science. I’ve cross processed countless films in the lab, including my own and you learn very quickly that everything comes into play with this technique. Film, lighting conditions, indoors or outdoors, chemicals used etc; trick is to experiment and enjoy the result. Stick to the same film, similar lighting conditions and ofcourse use the same lab. This will give you some level of control but its never gaurenteed! Cheers neil, good and accurate article.

HI there Matt ..

These images that I finally posted here, are scans from the negatives.
By doing so, I bypassed the Big Variable – the lab.
But the original prints I received from the lab where not that far removed from what you see here, and was the basis of the final look of the image.
