E6 Chemistry Test

My supervisor authorized the purchase of some E6 color slide chemistry for the darkroom I manage, and here is my test roll (the purchase of which was also authorized). Findings:
On the one hand, E6 chemistry isn't as picky as they say (if you're not super-concerned about consistency) with regard to time, temperature, etc.
On the other hand, if you want great results, a machine or lab will be far more consistent than by hand. My bet is that hand-processed results are going to be barely usable at best.

Other bonus fact: This film has no grain. None. You hear things like color film having essentially no grain nowadays, being optimized for scanning. Well it was probably worse back then, but that statement isn't entirely true; you'll still see grain even on 160 speed negative film. Not the case for slides apparently. So if you can manage to not overexpose your skies (which I tend to do a lot), it will give fantastic results. But it's pretty unforgiving of error in exposure. Slide film is much more like digital, except with better (more logarithmic) exposure characteristics and better color (and the option to work in larger formats), but generally no instant feedback.

Despite the roll in general being overexposed, this shot actually came out okay, since I was deliberately aiming for shadow detail.

This scan is too bright, but with slide film you have very little choice of how bright to let it be after the fact.

A really neat shot with tricky lighting; I ended up muddying the bricks in post since they were blown in the exposure and were distracting otherwise.

Almost didn't post this one; in fact, I did leave off the first shot on the roll because it was way too overexposed.

Janus Films?

This was just a tricky exposure even under the best of circumstances. This also kind of reveals the slightly 'off' colors that might be attributed to hand-processing.

Fences are neat motifs, but I can never seem to hold my camera level.

This exposure would've been better suited to negative film.

That wall again.

Pulling in highlights actually revealed some detail in the stumps, which was nice. Apparently someone migrated this tree into someone else's room, cops were called... I don't fully understand the details.

An average shot, but I needed to finish the roll and get back to work.
