Thanks Herb for your help. I processed a second roll today with longer developer times and had better results but my neg is a reddish colour so I think I may need to extend my blix times as well. I will try this Wednesday and see what I end up with. The PB-2 recipe I got from a filmmaker in South America. From my understanding its basically the recipe Kodak uses to remove remjet - ECN - 2 kit. It works perfect! No problem removing the remjet and it just flows out during the rinse. Here is the recipe if you are interested in trying it. WATER (27-38ºC) - 800mlBORAX - 20gSODIUM SULFATE (anhydrous) - 100gSODIUM HYDROXIDE - 1gWATER to complete - 1 litre Roger D.

I have based my process and my career as an experimental film artist on this statement; and I welcome it as it pushes me forward as an artist to try something different, something new. > Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2014 09:03:53 -0400 > From: he...@theria.ca > To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com > Subject: Re: [Frameworks] processing 16mm colour negative > > Sorry for the late reply.
