Hi Michael, sprocket orientation is not that important. All that matters is emulsion orientation. You want the emulsion facing out. It doesn't matter what happens with the sprocket holes. The sprocket holes can be up or down depending on the pre-loading history of the roll. Most of the time one is dealing with camera film that is tail out prior to loading. But there are other possibilities. For instance, if the film you are developing was exposed on a film printer rather than in a camera. Or if you had to rewind the film for some reason and it is now head out. If the emulsion is facing out, that is all that matters.
Been looking for videos similar to this for a little bit now thanks for posting them up how do you go about scanning your film? And are you developing the film the same way as c-41 process I finally have a lomo tank so I will be developing hopefully within a few weeks
HI Richard, you certainly can use C41 for ECN films. Slightly more contrasty, but not noticeable. It is fine. You do need to add a rem-jet softening stage at the start. You can use borax for that, or mix the official kodak ecn prebath.
Sprocket holes were up, not down in the groves...
