I did try to process cine film in C41 many thanks to Ian who is kindly give me 10 rolls to try.

My conclusion is no way to use once again, even if film is cheap result is unpredictable.

I did shoot three rolls Kodak Vison 2 100T without correction filter. Color did corrected by scanner did work very well.
So why not willing to use , result is less sharp a lot than good C41 film like Fujicolor 200 which is a cheap film.

First I did remove remjet with alkaline bath in developer tank , even with 3 minutes running water wash remjet not come off successfully
all developer tool, tank ,spiral was polluted with graphite.I had to tooth brush everywhere after final wash.
I had to rewash clean with paper towel all film strips at the end , I did ruin many frames where is remjet left or I did hurt emulsion none of them good fun.

Finally with lot of hassle I got only a few frames in so so result. One of roll made with Nikon FA and 85mm f1.8 Nikkor , frames must be brilliant sharp , but wasn't Sad
