Washi Film 100X test roll

Recently ran a roll of Washi Film 100X through my Minolta Dynax 9. Lens was a Minolta AF 75-300mm. Washi Films is located in Brittany, France and is billed as the worlds smallest film producer. This is a technical film which has been stripped of it's orange "mask" and is billed as providing the same color tones as the early 40's/50's color negative films. In the Dynax, set to Program mode, the photo exposures ran from "normal,warm" color/tone to slightly over exposed. That was easily corrected in Lightroom. I really like this film for bright daylight. The colors are nicely saturated and it exhibits warm tones. It tends to have an affinity towards greens, but the other colors are nicely balanced. I do believe I'll shoot more of it.

I know the it has no orange mask which is interesting. Also it can be processed with E6 and makes slides. I wonder how the characteristic curves look like. It much have significantly higher contrast than regular negative film to be used as slide film.
