Kodak 5247 was an ASA 100, tungsten balanced, movie film that was
popular many years ago. It could make slides (film) and negatives. I
have many negatives from 1980 I am trying to scan and I cannot decide
what profile to use in Vuescan to come close to the actual color. If
anybody has ever scanned these negatives, please help!!

This stuff was really crap, but I didn't know it at the time. There
were all sorts of color cross-over problems because it was a tungsten
film usually shot in daylight or with flash. You could make a pretty
decent print from it but it was never going to be perfect. Still, I
have a number of shots I would love to preserve.

No, it couldn't. The lab could make slides from the negatives.

Okay, but that was a big selling point. Most color neg stock was not
used to produce slides.

I remember the ads. But it wasn't anything special about
the film.

Any good lab could and would do it though.
