ECN-2 film development is a specialized process designed for motion picture film stocks such as Kodak Vision, Fujifilm Eterna, and other remjet-based cinematic films. At Berlin Photo Studio, our ECN-2 film development service is dedicated to preserving the authentic look and color science intended for professional cinema production.
Unlike standard C41 processing, ECN-2 film development follows the original motion picture workflow used in the film industry. This process ensures accurate color reproduction, smooth highlight roll-off, and a wide dynamic range that makes cinematic film stocks unique.
During ECN-2 film development, we carefully remove the remjet backing layer and process the film using controlled chemistry and temperature. This preserves the characteristic cinematic look — rich shadows, soft highlights, and natural skin tones.
Our ECN-2 film development service is available for 35mm (135) and 120 motion picture film stocks that contain a remjet layer.
ECN-2 film development is ideal for photographers who use motion picture film such as Kodak Vision3 stocks. These films are popular for their cinematic color palette, impressive exposure latitude, and beautiful highlight transitions.
Photographers often choose ECN-2 film development when shooting:
• Night photography
• Artificial light scenes
• Cinematic portrait photography
• Experimental photography
• Motion picture film repackaged for still photography
Because these films were originally designed for cinema production, ECN-2 film development ensures the colors and tonal transitions are preserved exactly as intended.
To send your film for ECN-2 film development, please carefully seal your rolls and include your order number inside the package.

Avoid parcel lockers or delivery methods that require pickup from another location.
For travel safety, keep your film in your carry-on luggage and avoid X-ray exposure whenever possible.

All films are processed with controlled chemistry, consistent agitation, and monitored temperature to ensure reliable and repeatable results. For C41, ECN2 and E6 processes, we use JOBO CPP2 rotary processors to maintain precise temperature stability and even development.
Black & White
Black and white films are developed using carefully selected developers such as ADOX Atomal 49, Rodinal, HC-110, or D-76. Each roll is processed individually, with development time, dilution, and agitation adjusted according to the film, exposure index, and condition. Using manual inversion or AGO rotary agitation, the process remains fully flexible — enabling precise push and pull adjustments.
C-41 Color
Color negative films are processed using Fujifilm Fujihunt chemistry following the standard C-41 workflow. Development is carried out on JOBO CPP2 systems with strict temperature and timing control, ensuring consistent color and density. Push and pull processing is supported within controlled limits.
ECN-2 Motion Picture Film
Motion picture films are processed using Bellini ECN-2 chemistry, based on Kodak’s original formulation. The process includes remjet removal, development, stop bath, and fixing, all performed on JOBO CPP2 systems to ensure stable temperature and even results. Push and pull adjustments are available.
E-6 & Reversal
Slide films are processed using Bellini E-6 chemistry, following Kodak standard specifications. This is a 7-step reversal process carried out under strict temperature control on JOBO CPP2 processors. While the workflow is standardized, push and pull adjustments are available within technical limits.
D67 & BW Reversal
Black and white reversal films are processed using Foma reversal chemistry, following a multi-step process including first development, bleaching, clearing, re-exposure, second development, fixing, and washing. This process is carried out with controlled temperature and timing to achieve clean positives with balanced contrast. In addition, standard black and white negative films can also be processed as reversal (positive) upon request.
It's important to understand that the final scan quality depends not only on the scanning process but also on the condition of the negative. Underexposed or overexposed films will produce different results in terms of grain, detail, and shadow and highlight rendering.
Film age and storage conditions also play a significant role. Expired or poorly stored film can lead to color shifts, fogging, or loss of sensitivity. Additionally, repeated or strong X-ray exposure may introduce base fog and reduce overall image clarity.
After receiving the scans via Wetransfer we will ask you if you want to print any picture.
Prints and negatives are available for pick-up at our store.
If you’d like them shipped to you, please contact us—shipping fees apply.
In alternative you can select film shipping at checkout or add one film roll to your order to make sure to receive also the negatives with it.

Lab process
Cinema film is processed in genuine ECN-2 chemistry. Results depend on film age, storage, remjet condition and exposure.
Before you order
Yes. Online orders can be collected at Berlin Photo Studio, Nazarethkirchstraße 41, 13347 Berlin, when local pickup is available at checkout.
Yes. Place the online order first, then include your name, email address and order number inside the parcel before sending the film to Berlin Photo Studio.
C-41, black and white and ECN-2 usually take around 3–5 working days. E-6 slide film usually takes around 7–10 working days. Workload, format and special requests can affect these estimates.
We develop C-41 colour negative film, black and white film, genuine ECN-2 cinema film and E-6 slide film in several photographic formats.
Yes. JPEG is practical for everyday use and sharing. TIFF is better for deeper editing, professional printing and long-term archiving.
Negatives are stored temporarily and should be collected promptly. Uncollected negatives are disposed of at the end of the following month unless another arrangement has been made.
