Finally made it to Kansas City! I got 2 rolls of 35mm and 1 120.. wait, that's only 3! What happened?? Oh well, it's film I didn't have before

Earl Dunbar · Dec 12, 2006

Looks like they're running out of 120.

Yeah, maybe, Trius.

But you know, except for the packaging issue, you gotta love these folks.

Free film, better yet, free people picture type film just before the holidays is a godsend!

Thanks Yellow Father.

Maybe you could become a sponsor here on APUG too?

Carol Flutot · Dec 14, 2006

Film just arrived, four - 35mm, 2-400 and 2-160, just in time for
the Christmas.
I will be using my Pentax, instead of my Rolleiflex.
Free Film is Free Film!

Yippee... it finally arrives at the West Coast. I hope there is some in my mailbox too. I have both the Hassy and the F3 ready to go!

raucousimages · Dec 14, 2006

Just arrived, 1-160 NC, 1-400 NC, 2-400 VC, all 35mm.

braxus · Dec 15, 2006

So with everyone listed on here, 21 pages in all, that no one has used this film yet? I find that hard to believe. Anyone who has please post your results.

Derek Lofgreen · Dec 15, 2006

WooHoo! I got my film today! 3 rolls, 2 400 and 1 160. All 35mm, but that's what I wanted. I already loaded up one of the 400 and intend to compare it side by side with a roll of the old stuff I shot last week. I will post what I see in the new stuff for those of you who care, just give me a little time.

Thanks Kodak!

braxus · Dec 15, 2006

Thanks Darek. Nice to see someone using this stuff.

Please post your results when you can. Im still waiting for my rolls to come from Ebay. I'll do a shoot as well when I can.

Stew Squires · Dec 15, 2006

Like Derek, I got three rolls of 35mm as well yesterday to my addresss here in Colorado. I wanted 120, so will have to shoot this instead. Still they are 36 exposure rolls. Probably $10-15 in free film. Gotta like that.

Nancy Gutrich · Dec 15, 2006

Three rolls of 35mm, one roll of 120, received yesterday...Illinois.
Thank You Kodak...my stantard brand of film.

Robert Kerwin · Dec 15, 2006

Got four rolls of 35mm yesterday, I wanted 120, but I'm not complaining. 2 rolls 400VC, one each of 400NC and 160NC. Thanks Kodak!

Robert Hall · Dec 15, 2006

Same, same. I received 4 35mm. I was really hoping to see this on larger negs. (I guess I will make smaller prints)

Now if the weather would help out and give me some nice light!

Bob AZ · Dec 15, 2006

Trade 35 for 120?

Got mine today, I'll trade my 135 36's for any equal number of 120 rolls, type doesn't matter:
two 400VC
one 160NC
one 400NC
Cost you postage to Phoenix, AZ

JBrunner · Dec 15, 2006

Got mine too. Asked for 120, got 135, but I'm not complaining.

nc5p · Dec 15, 2006

I just got three rolls of 35mm. Too bad I don't own a 35mm camera! They must have run out of 120. I'd buy some but with my luck all the camera stores here would have is the old emulsion.

BrianShaw · Dec 15, 2006

I'm still waiting...patiently. With my luck it will arrive in tommorrow's mail, just in time for the big rain storm.

Hi Brian,

I've been "tracking" and I'm guessing CA's turn is next! I got mine in NY weeks ago and now sending out a few rolls to AZ in a personal "care package".

Don't worry about rain - remember this is portraiture film designed for great skin tones at all grain levels. I plan on shooting some of mine at the family Xmas gathering next week!

ericbrueg · Dec 18, 2006

My freinds and I received ours last week. I am in Minnesota.
I have exposed a roll, but not developed any yet.

Jeremy · Dec 18, 2006

Received 3 rolls of 35mm and 1 roll of 120. Kinda disappointing as I asked for 120 film--then again, free is free!

David A. Goldfarb · Dec 18, 2006

Shot some tests on the VC400 and NC400. I'll try to post some results when I get them processed later this week.

MAGNAchrom · Dec 18, 2006

Yes got them a few weeks ago -- much appreciated. (besides, Portra is my favorite color film) Seems K is scrambling to keep up w/ new offerings from F!

AZLF · Dec 18, 2006

Yes I finally did! And I was the one who posted the original url for the free film.I thought I had not filled out the page right or something. However I asked for 120 film and got 35mm. Oh well. It's free and just in time for the holidays.

Bill R · Dec 22, 2006

They just showed up two days ago. The only problem was someone opened the tube and yanked one of the rolls of film and the $25 rebate coupon. Kind of sad but at least I still have 3 rolls of free film.

Christiaan Phleger · Dec 26, 2006

Still waiting far out here in Hawaii. At least the weather's great.
