Hmm, my decoder ring says, "drink Kool-aid". Oops, that's for Velvia, sorry.

Stop over at the South Street Gallery, on South King Street and you will see some Velvia images that will surprise you.

Got mine today

I got a 400vc and 400nc in 120 and 135. Pretty sure I only asked for 120 since I don't even own a 35mm but I have a neighbor who does

Greg_E · Nov 17, 2006

I received 400 vc and nc in 120 and 160 vc and nc in 135. I know I checked 120 only, but at least I have a 135 back for my camera, and it is free film so a little hard to complain. I am glad that they didn't send me any of the BW400CN, I've already tried that film.

darkroom · Nov 17, 2006

i just got 4 rolls this morning (120 format)

David A. Goldfarb · Nov 17, 2006

Got mine today, too. 120--160NC and VC, 400 NC and VC

So Robert, can we process this new film for black and white?

On a more serious note, what do you think about the new velvia? You think it will be as good as the old?

Fuji says it will be identical to the old. I hope so, although I hope the new version is more scanner friendly.

Don't know yet.

srs5694 · Nov 20, 2006

I think they've hooked up a random number generator to decide what to send people. I asked for 35mm film and got:

120 160VC
120 400NC
35mm 160NC
35mm 400VC

I'll use it all (although I've only got a lowly Lubitel 2 in MF); I just think it'd odd that they seem to be ignoring peoples' format requests and sending out different mixes of speed, NC/VC, and format to different people. FWIW, my boxes are all marked with expiration dates of between 8/2008 and 11/2008.

Derek Lofgreen · Nov 20, 2006

Hmm, I it's looking like only people east of the mississippi are getting film. I'll keep waiting for a supprise anyway.

Christiaan Phleger · Nov 20, 2006

East of Mississippi?! Its going to take for-ever to get to Hawaii!

bnjlosh · Nov 20, 2006

got mine today,

160vc, 160 nc, 400vc, 400 nc...all 120

I'm in South Carolina, but I thought they were sending out memory cards (just kidding)...my wife is excited that I am trying out some color film, she is not a big fan of black and white...

Hmm, I hadn't noticed that. Still waiting for mine here in Kansas.

braxus · Nov 20, 2006

Ok- the big question: Has anyone used these films that have received them? Or are you just throwing them in the freezer with everything else?

Bromo33333 · Nov 20, 2006

Just came today - 4 rolls:
2 35mm 160NC and 160VC
2 120 of 400NC and 400VC

Put them in the fridge - will use at least one over the (USA) Thanksgiving Holiday

I liked the tube mailer. I may keep it around to hold film in the fridge ...

DeBone 75 · Nov 20, 2006

Free Film

Got mine last Thursday. Asked for 120 got all 120. Now if I could only have time to shoot it.

MattCarey · Nov 20, 2006

Hmmm,

anyone else still waiting?

Matt

htmlguru4242 · Nov 20, 2006

Still waiting here in Worcester.
With my luck, it'll arrive at school just after I leave for thanksgiving break ...
