Not compatible with still photography RA-4 chromogenic paper.However, with all the pros, there are some disadvantages to the chemistry: Disadvantages I find it quite interesting that CineStill Film considered bleach bypass by using their fixer traditionally used for their black and white processing from the F96 rapid fixer! Excellent for bleach bypass processing with F96 rapid fixer.Use standard processing tanks and reels.No special processor or additional components needed.Ships worldwide without Limited Quantity Hazardous (ORM-D) regulations.None of the caustic compounds or poisonous byproducts associated with ECN-2 processing (such as lye, sulfuric acid, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide fumes, or highly toxic cyanide gas).Reduced risk to health & safety and processing defects caused from chemical carryover.Advanced active chemical agents formulated for motion picture processing.Optimized for motion picture logarithmic scanning and ECP film printing.Great for extremely high contrast scenes or to achieve the low-contrast cinematic look of motion picture negatives.With this new announcement comes with several advancements in processing motion picture still: This 2-bath process simplifies the original 10+ step ECN-2 process, with uncompromised quality and accurate characteristic curves, while making it safe and foolproof for at-home use. Interestingly, the Cs2 Cine Simplified combines the remjet prebath and developer into a single step and combines the bleach and fixer into a single step while maintaining “Eastman Kodak sensitometric standards” In traditional ECN-2 processing, the development process includes 10-steps to process a single roll (prebath, remjet wash, developer, bleach, fix, rinse).

“After years of research and development, we’re are proud to release our reinterpretation of classic cinematic chemistry, the CineStill way… A complete, easy-to-use, 2-bath process for photographers, which produces low-contrast color negatives synonymous with the motion picture workflow.” CineStill Film

In their press release, The Brothers Wright state, Well, it seems that CineStill Film has entered the long awaited ECN-2 market with their version with the new CineStill Cs2 “Cine Simplified” ECN-2, 2-bath process. Earlier in the year we announced a new ECN-2 kit hit the consumer shelves and there was much rejoicing.
