Some readers of this list may not read British Journal of Photography
which did an article on cross-processing in the 26 April 1995 issue.
Relevant to the post is the information that most pro labs here will
"accept film for cross-processing - usually processing it before
replenishing the chemistry so any mishaps won't prove expensive, or ruin
anyone else's film."

The article also has a number of illustrations and recommendations
including the following:

- best results seem to be obtained using studio flash
- bracket exposures widely

The most interesting results were from Fujichrome RDP100 via C41 at
normal exposure and processing time. Other suggested films included:

- Kodacolor Gold II 400 rated at ISO 50 and pushed 2 stops in E6
- Fuji Super G 100 rated ISO 25, normal process E6
- Fujichrome Velvia at ISO 32-50, normal C41
- Agfachrome RS1000 at ISO 200 or Agfa RS100 PLus at ISO 100 - both
normal C41
- Ilford XP2, ISO 400, push 2 stops in E6 (gives nasty green colour!)
