CineStill's Cs2 “Cine Simplified” ECN 2-Bath Kit

CineStill's Cs2 “Cine Simplified” ECN 2-Bath Kit is the result of years of R&D, offering a safe, consistent, and simplified home solution for processing stills with the desired Hollywood characteristics. This kit offers a pared-down version of the original 10+ step ECN-2 process without compromising quality, complying with Eastman Kodak's sensitometric standards.

Our kit simplifies the process for both motion and still photography films, resulting in a low-contrast color negative suitable for motion picture workflows and scanning. The Cn2 “COLOR NEGATIVE” developer is combined with a prebath accelerant for proper ECN-2 density, and the Bf2 “BLEACH&FIX+STOP” bath consolidates bleach, fixer, stop and wash baths. This lessens health risks and processing defects from hazardous chemicals, leaving you with CineStill negatives akin to Kodak’s characteristic curves for motion picture processing.

While the Cs2 process is less complicated than ECN-2, it actually utilizes more advanced chemistry, incorporating compounds and technology not available when ECN-2 was designed in the mid-1970s. Despite being safer and simplified, the Cs2 kit does not compromise any essential ECN-2 functions. It includes active components like Antifoggant, Anti-Calcium, Ammonium Thiosulfate, and Development Stop, ensuring proper ECN-2 negatives without any compromises or omitted essential components. Trust us for complete and uncompromised ECN-2 film processing at home.
