Ever hear of 5254? And also 5247.

It was a negative color film marketed in the early 70's to readers of popular photography magazines of the time. It was a negative film for positive slides.
I used it a lot. I believe it was remnants of 35 mm motion picture stock.
The advantage was that you had a negative that you could color correct from when making slides (or prints). With positive slides, you are stuck with the color that you get.
The lab was in Hollywood which was an added plus. Photographers would say, "I send my film to Hollywood for processing."
