Not sure.
I prefer the results from the ecn2 process rather than c41
The negatives come out differently.
The Bellini ecn2 runs at 41 deg against the c41 at 38
I am not sure how this impacts it but I find the negatives do tend to be more balanced and less thin when using it.

I didn’t know
All I know is it’s an advanced anti halation layer, but it will also contain anti static properties to keep it right for high speed running in the cine world.
I am cool with that. But I will continue to use the ecn2 process rather than cross processing in c41.

They can be tricky to scan. I struggle with colour matching.
I try but I canny get consistently the same, but that’s the same with me and all colour films, not a vision problem as such

Exactly. No more carbon that needs to be stripped off in development.

I am a great believer in the vision films, in c41 they are ok… in ecn2 they are better.

It shouldn’t as they are replacing it with an anti halation undercoat.

I am note sure how I ended up shooting colour after so many years of black and white but it is as you say only doable if you bulk load.

It shows on their website now that it should be used for filming
That’s new
I checked the internet archive for all versions of it

Frame 24 are now saying
I can’t remember if it said this before
Will check and see
“Available for Motion picture capture only.”

Don’t worry from next year it won’t be a concern

I do the pre wash (using the remjet remover)
I then rinse it.
All before developing.
After developing but before the stabilisation I remove the film from the reels into average temp water and rinse through my fingers or micro cloth.
Then I stabilise in the same bucket with fresh water.
