Agfa only really want to supply in very large quantities, ie 105 4000' cans at a time, though they can be persuaded to sell fewer, IF you can contact them, which is not straighforward. ST8 has a slightly bluish base, but it's a nice stock, about 6asa, Nicky. -Original

The past couple years I've actually been heartened by the other film manufacturing companies out there, as we've been working to stock LIFT's store with options. Even while kodak's offerings are diminishing, there have been a lot of replacement options (many which have been hiding in plain

We're pretty much lost the ability to make magstriped prints. We have a long way to go before we lose the ability to make conventional optical prints, although if all four available sound recording films go away the quality of using another lab intermediate film in the sound camera will be a bit

When talking to kodaks representative I asked about ordering some 7302 for a class, since we won't be able to know when the back order of 7363 will come in. Evidently it has been a stock that was kept on hand and ordered in 4000 ft cans, but will now be made to order, same as 3378, which means

The daylight spool issue is important. I always try to remember to ask the lab to return them otherwise they keep them and sell them. Eventually they wear and/or bend, but someone must still be making them. Do Kodak make their own.? Sent from my Sony Xperia™ smartphone Chris Kennedy

I’ve been lamenting the loss of these stocks along with the rest of you. But I also was thinking of the bigger historical context of this current crisis, and that gave me some peace of mind. I know that when I arrived at the University of Florida in 2000, a colleague explained that the reason

I watch this list a lot, but I don't chime in very often. This, though, is a good reason. On the subject of daylight spools, I have been fiddling with figuring out modeling and 3d printing one. It is possible, I just have to do it in spare moments between other demands. Cores and cartridges

I heard that Ilford had gotten rid of any coating machines that could do rolls longer than 100 feet — but that may not be correct. Their cine stocks were notorious for shedding a lot in the camera. On Aug 31, 2014, at 12:04 PM, Heikki Repo heikki.r...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Aug 31, 2014
