First time processing my own color negatives. And using the ECN-2 process and the Flic Film kit. Film was Kodak 250D courtesy of Shawn.
I use Lab Box for processing (I have no experience with Patterson tanks and reels). This was the first time I exhibited spooling issues resulting in the film sticking to itself in certain places. As a result, of the 36 exposures, only 14 were usable and these are the only three I am likely to share from this roll.
I learned a lot for this first time with color. I imagine C-41 will be easier but we'll continue with the ECN-2 process while the chemicals are made.

You know you live somewhere cold if you have a curling club.
The color on the pics you show looks really good so hopefully you will resolve the film sticking issues.

I notice how much thicker the film is with the Remjet still on. Perhaps this is a problem for spooling onto the Lab Box reel. And yes, we have two world class curling clubs in the area. It gets really cold!

Great results with your first foray into color negative and ECN-2 at that! So what happened? Did it come off the reel? Hope you get it figured out!

Super happy with the colors for the images that came out. It didn't come off the reel I think it just didn't spool on correctly. I took the dried developed negatives and tried to re-spool on the Lab Box reel. I need to look more closely but something about the spooling didn't take the film to the inner portion of the reel. The Lab Box loads the reel by simply turning a crank to pull the film onto the reel. I need to look at this more closely before developing my next roll. I also need to look into getting the remjet off the entire roll. Again, this could be the the film touching in places and therefore the prebath not able to dissolve the remjet. I love the Lab Box for developing but I need to solve for this.
