Keep in mind that the dyes in E-6 based films are not colored when they
are coated on the film. They have to be transparent and very low
density when they are in an unprocessed form, so the light can go
through them. As it is, the silver halide components block enough
light, causing each

I think that's he only one that is more stable than Kodak
Ecktachrome...But my knowledge is a few years old.
Is there a relationship between stability and film

separation filters in between each sensitive layer. It contains no dyes
to form dye clouds, etc. The E-6 films do contain the dyes that will

I've heard that
