Super 8mm for Ektachrome Super 8mm G type?

that this is somehow a different type of film and that takes different type
of development...

Process EM-6 and it can be processed in E-6 chemistry.
This is a very strange film; the color layers are stacked up in
a different order than with most other reversal films, and the
color balance is sort of in-between daylight and
I have a few rolls of Type-G kicking around that I've been meaning to process
as well. As far as I understand, it can be processed in E-6 chemicals, but
you'll have to remove the remjet backing (I think someone posted a formula for
a way to do that with borax not too long ago).
I've heard it
I fell in love with Ektachrome Type G when I was shooting in super-8 in
the late 1970s and 1980s.
