C-22 Kodacolor-X processed in cold standing develop C-41 ….I found the recipe online about how to process c-22 with only c-41 chems (most google searches on the subject say you’ll fail, most other say you should use the b&w process) luckily few turned up! Terrible quality was expected, I mean this film stock expired in 1974 and I don’t know how it had been kept over these decades. I have two rolls of this film left and will continue to develop them this way. I just wish to thank film and developing in general for giving me a purpose today, in life. This morning I received a call as soon as I awoke that brought me to screaming tears and a breakdown which as we know isn’t fun. I wasn’t leaving my bed, no way no how, until I rolled over in it and wiped my tears away- my vision cleared and what I saw was my tank with this loaded film all ready in there. It took everything inside of me to muster up the courage and strength to get up and go process it. Thank you God. Thank you to many of my online film acquaintances too…much love to both.

    Nice! I have some in my freezer I've been putting off. Did you shoot it at box speed?

    Also, thank you to God from me as well. PS - this one is also very nice. Fantastic work doing all that research and then having the results you did! I'm scared of doing one roll of non-expired film. :)

    I admire you for finding the courage and strength to develop your film after receiving a devastating call. I can relate to the “helpfulness” of photography during very difficult times.

    Nice! I've done Kodacolor-X in black and white, I like the kinda screwy quality you get with it in a color process. Tempted to thaw a roll and give it a shot. (Yes, I'm the guy with bricks of expired film in a dedicated freezer)

    I shot the roll I did in diy black and white developer at box. 64 ISO. I know at some point they switched to 80. I'm not going to go on the rant I could about stopping down. I shoot Kodachrome regularly at box and Svema 64 at box. @jbasco

    We've done a lot of this over at the Ultra Low ISO facebook group. Best results room temp are to really lengthen development times (C-22 was originally about 12- 14 minutes depending on emulsion). Here is what has proven successful: 20 minutes in room temperature C41 developer, 8 minutes in ECN2 bleach, Kodak fixer. Only a quick scan, a little work on levels on highlights and shadows, and a one-button auto color correct for these. Adam Paul's photos with this formula are awesome.

    Michael Talbert offers this on his web page:
    Hence, it might be possible to colour develop a C-22 film in C-41 chemistry, all at 75°F.

    1. C-41 Developer 19 minutes
    2. Stop-Bath (2% acetic acid solution) 2 minutes
    3. Wash 4 minutes
    4. C-41 Bleach 6½ minutes
    5. Wash 3¼ minutes or maybe 50% longer
    6. C-41 Fixer 6½ minutes
    7. Wash At least 5 minutes
    8. C-41 Stabiliser (not essential)
    or wetting agent about 1½ minutes
    9. Dry: Room temperature, around 20°C

    I hope that is useful.
