After comparing ECN-2 and C41 developed film with scanning in mind, I thought it would be an interesting test to see how these two development processes affect the film when making darkroom prints. • Using the two rolls of Kodak Vision3 500T motion picture film that I shot in the previous video, I went ahead and made a few RA4 darkroom handprints to further compare how the chemistry affects the end result. • All images are shot with the Canon EOS 600 and the Canon EOS 50E along with the Zeiss 28mm, Zeiss 50mm and the Canon 100mm USM Macro. • One of the rolls was developed by a lab in ECN-2 chemistry and the other by myself in C41. • All the prints that you see are straight prints, meaning there are no local adjustments. No dodging, no burning, nothing. The paper I used is the Fuji Crystal Archive II on glossy finish and 8x10 inches in size. I used a DeVere enlarger and the prints were developed in an automated processor with RA4 chemistry. • At the end, the prints were scanned by a lab using an EPSON V800 and the tiff files were slightly adjusted to make sure that they match the real life prints as closely as possible. • For full information on filtration with close-up examples have a look at the blogpost. • Blogpost: https://alexandermatragos.com/blog/20... • Also if you need any information on how the first part of the test was conducted, including how these rolls were exposed and developed then have a look at the first video which you can find below. • Part I: • ECN-2 vs C41 Development Comparison o... • • Note: Some of the following are affiliate links.
