The other day, one of our regulars at the coffee shop I work at, came in and gifted me a few rolls of Expired Fuji sensia 100. I got excited when I later realized it was slide film.

For me, when it comes to both time and expense, color negative film and 41 chemicals, are just more practical. Also, decent slide film is getting harder and harder to find these days. For these reasons I’ve never bought slide film, and the idea of cross processing (using c41 process opposed to E6 ) was out of the question. But now that I finally had the chance, I decided to take my chances and try my hand at some Xpro.

    It kind of breaks the flow, but I had to throw this little guy in here

I used a Minolta x-370 with a Rokkor 50mm f1.7 metered to 100 iso.

Overall, I was a little uncertain where to set my meter initially. I was unable to find much information on if I needed to compensate for the cross process or not. In the end I was pleased with the result. But Due to a lot of my shots being a little overexposed, I’m most likely shooting my next roll at around 200-300

Let me know if you got any pointers.
Thanks!
