Thank you very much Richard for the explanation. Vision3 250D and T
are current Kodak motion picture films, they do have
an acetate safety base with rem-jet backing according the film
technical data sheet, it requires a dedicated machine because regular
C-41 machines have problems with the film as you wrote. It seems the
process is pretty similar regarding the C-41, however I read some
users (using the film for still cameras) comments saying results are
poor with C-41 and very good to excellent with the right ECN 2
process.
