My buddy just got me some of this film from a bulk order. I plan to develop this in C41 chemicals once I am done shooting. I have two main questions:
1. What ISO would be best to shoot this at? I know when you develop in C41 you need to adjust a little bit. I've seen 200, 250, 320 and 400 as a recommended setting. Being that I don't have a ton of this film I don't want to do a bunch of exposure testing and waste the film on that.
2. Do I need to adjust my C41 time if I am shooting anything other than 250 ISO? Or would I just develop at the normal times?
When Reflx Labs sells respooled 250D they call it 320D. Cinestill's 800T is Kodak Vision 500T without the Remjet.
So it would seem that cross-processing ECN-2 film in C-41 results in increased density or saturation/contrast, which you compensate for by shooting 1/3 to 2/3 stop faster.
That said, I've heard Vision3 films have insane latitude so you could probably go anywhere from 160-400 on 250D without a problem.
I read somewhere that kodak vision films had remjet layer that requires removal during developing. Does that affect/contaminate the C-41 developer if developed without remjet removal?

Yes. The remjet must be removed as a first step. DO NOT take this film to a normal film lab as it will destroy the chemicals in the lab and gum up their machines. Look at my post above that points to Shawn's guide on ECN-2 development for info on home development or find a lab that specializes in ECN-2 developing.
