E6 dev times and iso?

[AshleyC]

Im just about to dev up my first batch of slide film and the booklet that came with the chems mentions all the mixes and times of development for each stage but there is no mention of ISO. So does ISO matter with dev times of E6 film? Im going to do some fuji velvi 100.

To my knowledge, the process is the same regardless of ISO, I'm sure someone with more direct experience of E-6 will correct me if I'm wrong.

Are we talking E6 or the Tetanol three bath E6 alike ? Not that it really matters with regard to ISO the times are sort of standard mostly with slight variation due to type of processing and film type but not the ISO unless you are attempting to push or pull the film.

Unfortunately the link to the Jobo E6 manual is no longer valid let me know if you want copy and I can email you one.

Basically just go with the recommendation in the leaflet.

Personal I always presoak too but that is debatable you might want to suck it an see with regard to that.

I have done about 60 sheets of 10x8 so far this year but I use the Fuji Hunt full Pro 6 process I used to use the Tetanol 5L kits but found the blix severely limiting.

Development is done regardless of ISO - it's a standardised process, much like C-41. It'll develop for nominal (box) speed.

thanks peeps. Its Tetanol. The booklet just says "Tetanol Colourtec E-6" I guess its the 3 bath thing even though there is a 4th chem as a Stabaliser.

That booklet would be good, im using the Jobo CPE2, if you have an emailable version that would be great
