    Orwo colour film teaser?

    This has been explained before, but it seems OrWo has a partnership with people of what was called "inoviscoat", which is formed by former Agfa engineers and machinery. And, of course, OrWo used to be Agfa Wolfen... used to be the ORiginal WOlfen plant. I have the same question... It is...

    "limited edition"... sounds like "we found some old stock, we tested it, it is good so we now are converting it and selling it".

    New Kodak Film in 2022?

    I agree. I used to shoot concerts. Superia 800 was superb film. I never used Superia 400 since 800 was so good and if I wanted better image quality i should be using Reala 100. Grain was really fine, 8x10" enlargements looked great. Even Superia 1600, enlarged optically to 8x10" had nice grain...

    Let's hope the people at the Original Wolfen HQ doesn't forget the color film at 5PM... As my favorite rock singer (female) said... Du hast den farbfilm vergessen

    Current experience with X-ray scanners - May 2022

    This is great news. I'd suggest that people should request hand inspection more, even symbolically -- that is, carry one or two rolls that you don't mind sacrificing, and request hand inspection. The more people carry film at airports, the more will the officials get used to film and...

    Double XX Like Old Tri-X Or Better?

    I need to get that book. However the parts i've put in bold, can also be done for negative too. You can also choose a developer that gives a bit more sharpness (i.e. a developer with no silver solvent in it). And as for the "elimination of the printing" benefit, I'd say the truly excellent...

    Pentax 6x7

    Well, that's great news, this means your camera is OK and has no problems with undue battery drain. The camera only draws current when the mirror is up. So for brief exposures the energy consumption is very little.

    Pentax 6x7

    The Pentax 67 and 6x7 (all models) are fully electronic cameras, no matter what people believe. I know exactly how the shutter works, it's an electronic shutter, as is the one in the P67II. Remove the battery on a Pentax 6x7/67 and you won't ever be able to fire a shot, only raise the mirror...

    New Kodak Film in 2022?

    In the past, Kodak Supra 800 had very good (imo) skin tones, and it was pushable as far as I remember. I also used Superia 1600 and it had acceptable skin tones.

    Double XX Like Old Tri-X Or Better?

    You are correct, but put your bulletproof vest soon. What happens with reversal development is, you can get what appears to be finer grain, since the image is now formed by grain that was uniformly exposed with a strong light source (= uniform, smaller grain). This (IMO) is the sometimes...

    Pentax 6x7

    The P67II is a very much improved camera, but in any case... There are two jolts, the one when the mirror comes up, and the other when the mirror comes down. The latter is stronger, but doesn't matter at all. The former is the one to be concerned with. On the P67 (and all the P67 cameras i've...

    35mm Ektachrome 100 bulk availability

    I would guess that for the smaller one it would be best to measure how big a roll can your film loader (bulk loader) can hold. And use this measure as your target outer diameter.

    35mm Ektachrome 100 bulk availability

    I see you will end up with a 400' roll of 17.5mm film, an actual movie format.

    How consistent are incident light meter readings?

    I find incident metering the most consistent metering there is. Works for me with 100% rate of success. If you are shooting a normal scene, such as a portrait with a normal background and normal (not extreme) lighting, and the incident meter is placed on your subject pointing to the most...

    I just cut that last part of the film, with a scissor. I don't like anything contaminating my chemicals (i reuse the developer back into the bottle).

    Is there a way to cut down on film costs?

    I've seen 70mm film, and backs, and even the cassetes. But what's rare to see are the loaders, and the film development tanks.

    Rise/shift the same as raising the camera or relying in lens geometry distortion?

    Yes, you move the film position so it sees a different part within the image circle.

    Occasional shutter curtain problem with Canon New F-1

    Easy if you think the solution is "increasing curtain tension", which is the bad, BAD advice some YouTube DIY videos tell you. This is not the correct solution and will damage your camera in the long run (and not so long, really).

    Occasional shutter curtain problem with Canon New F-1

    No, one can't "do it yourself", unless he/she is an advanced repairman. I am a camera tech and the New F-1 is one of the most difficult cameras to service properly (as well as one of my favorite cameras to use. Heck, i'm literally wearing a "Canon F-1" t-shirt right now, custom-made.) Only...
