THE GOODSTUFF IS HERE! FIRST TIME WITH ALL OF THIS. LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING THE XT-3, I'VE BEEN USING XTOL FOREVER. FREESTYLE DELIVERED THIS TO ME YESTERDAY!
QUALITY IS ECONOMY!
Good to learn that even you do not know everything, even not about your competitors...I was not aware that other quality manufacturers had abandoned the interleaving paper.
Mirko, I have absolutely no insight as to where your products are used, but suspect very little sheet CHS-100 II is sent anywhere near the equator.
Do you know whether your sheet film hardening is comparable to the modern hardeners other manufacturers like Bergger, HARMAN and Kodak use? If so, I can report that here in coastal southern California, where relative humidities of 70% to 90% are typical, I've never had sheet film from any of those companies stick together, even after Kodak's laminated, sealed inner envelopes are opened for a while.
Eliminating your interleaving paper might have another benefit. There are small clear areas on my CHS-100 II sheet film negatives. I don't have a microscope, but, using a 30X loupe, those spots look like they might be particles from the interleaving paper blocking light during exposure. Going forward I'll bring a large Static Whisk brush into the darkroom and gently run it over the emulsion side of sheets before inserting them into holders. The edges of your sheet CHS-100 II are rather rough and upon close inspection reveal an uneven emulsion edge. However, I don't think emulsion flakes are the problem since, if they were, negatives' spots would likely be of slightly higher density than the clear film base I see.
Thanks very much for looking into this.
To the best of my knowledge, base thickness is unrelated to resolution. You may have heard something about "thin emulsion films" and are confusing emulsion with base....I believe that very high resolution films need as thin of a base as possible...
Eaxactly.
The idea behind ultra-thin base was to save volume and mass of films. Typically with surveying/reconnaissance photography from airplanes and satellites. But also emplyoed at microfilming.
Neither litho nor aerial.
Concerning the ATO, it sure was no Copex as those had a different spectral sensitisation.
I only saw this now. You can check in our webshop if something is available in the store. If it is not and there is also no date given when we expect it back- then we do not know this. With our own products reasons for this can be delays in the supply chain or an unfortunate holliday/sick leave combination in a departement.Good afternoon
Can you please tell me when the film Adox CHS 100 II ISO 100 4x5 will be available in the store in Berlin?
With all respect, Andrew!
