ive done a lot of x-processing of 7240 in super8 and 16mm as well stilll film. if you expose and print properly or as you want youll get the results you desire. the reason i shoot or process often this way is due to increasing contrast and color saturation, but you do need to consider exposure under...

if youre using 50asa then youre perhaps using the daylight balanced stock and the JK has a tungsten balanced source so that will take you to lower 12or so asa. therefore, best to use a 100T exr 7248, now outdated, but beautiful or the 7274 200T stock. sad that kodak did away with the 7248. it was su...

best bet would be shoot a medium speed color camera neg such as 200T. neg as you know has greater latitude so since you cant get a meter reading from JK, neg is best for mistakes with various density originals. with a new JK set-up i usually do a exposure test with a color reversal camera film or la...

if you shoot neg. film you can use print stocks such as 3383 or 7242, these provide positive from printing neg. im assuming youre printing color. if so youll also need to figure a filter pack for doing this sort of thing. but if im understanding ya your desire is to process yourself so im not too su...
