perhaps since Yegor knows a bit more about "computer" stuff, he accepts the international payments.
I dealt with the other email addresshow this company operates internally- the guy behind "tibosha" mail is a clown, he tried to sell me magnetic tape for flight data recorders at 200$/km when I asked for regular "A" and "Б" types because "it matches the standards for both types", then he declined my request to provide Dmytro's number in a rude manner.
Nah, judging by prozorro/dzo, they were quite active before the war, and they still participate in government procurement ("тендер", idk the right English term) at least for magnetic tape, judging by the "tibosha" guy's wordsas for now the company does not "operate", ie. : there's no formal company at the payment level. Instead some guys are operating on their own.
Most likely.the familiarity (or lack of)
Seems like this might be more like my efforts to sell film than I realized. I get bulk film, cut to 120 size, and pack by hand. From what I’ve gathered, it seems like a few of folks have bought a master roll of Agfa/Tasma/something, and similar to me, are finishing it for people by hand, or maybe with minimal machines. It seems like they have a 35mm cassette machine, and possibly a slitting machine. The sheets are probably done by hand, though, I can’t imagine they have a sheet film cutting machine that allows such flexibility for this many small orders of different sizes.

I think someone mentioned trying to take a tour
this should not be a problem, it has been possible to wire money in a diversity of ways since long. Years ago I paid Vartanian of Arax, and a repairman in Dniepropetrovsk, in WebMoney and they were also proposing Paypal through a man in the middle. SWIFT works on any ukrainian bank account. Cultural aspect? the familiarity (or lack of) with SWIFT wires.
I dealt with the other email address... as for now the company does not "operate", ie. : there's no formal company at the payment level. Instead some guys are operating on their own. But again I am fine with that.
internal orders are shipped from company's name(pic) ... I spoke with Dmitry

as for the sheets:
it's indeed aerial film, very thin like the 35mm and 120 and with the bend of the roll. Not notched but a corner is cut.
Inside the black plastic pouch, a paper enveloppe around the sheets. Reminded me of paper wraps of soviet Svema. I have some and checked. Indeed that's it:

Is that 35mm or 120? I’m curious to see what the banking paper looks like if it’s 120.
He is responding to messages again?
I used "Dmitriy" because he was mentioned this way on this site before. It's the same as "Kiev" vs "Kyiv", one is transliterated from russian, other-from Ukrainian. And there's no chaos, Ukrainian names and proper names should just be transliterated from Ukrainian spelling. Answering your question, yes, it's the same person.Giving the linguistic political chaos in Ukraine
a roll of 120 colour reversal. The baking paper is thicker than the wrapping:

the wrapping paper is not opaque enough. See with a small torch:

the backing paper with the torch, there's only one small pin of light through in this case:

I always keep spools and backing paper of 120, have plenty. but I will buy backing paper if they sell it.
this statement calls for a bit of explanation.... I don't know how to do it in very few words. It's very simple but cultural facts can take some words to be explained.... and it's somewhat off-topic relatively to film, but on-topic relatively to Ukraine. So:Ukrainian names and proper names should just be transliterated from Ukrainian spelling.
Yeah, I know. That is also why naming is important, thanks for illustrating. And what a wonderful illustration that is, considering hungary tried to get a piece of Ukraine twice in ten yearsLocal hungarians insist Ungvar is a hungarian city.
It is used just to use it, in a similar manner to a schoolboy that just learned a new swearwordstems probably from Malopolska, kurwa.
This seems to be more expensive than buying from Foma:I was billed like this:
120 bulk film (foto-100) : 4€/m
Film proved to be all right, although lately I have encountered severe fogging on some rolls recently shot..
Wrong on both. The first couple of frames are fogged because of light piping. Same as on Aerocolor, for example. Cassette design is not any worse than regular metallic ones and loading is most likely performed on an automatic lineThe main issue with this film is still the fogging of the first couple of frames, due to very very bad plastic cassette design and (probably) loading the film with not much care

Hi, mate! It is very interesting. Please tell me the contact details for SVETA, I wrote them a letter but did not receive a response.I purchased some 40 rolls of 35mm from Svema, in 25/64/100/400 ASA. Paid by Paypal to an individual in Kiev, and I got the package really fast, in about 6 days. No import tax or anything else to be paid when package was released from the customs, which was kind of surprising (anything coming from outside the EU is taxed accordingly). All in all, the transaction and message exchange went ok, without nasty surprises.
Film proved to be all right, although lately I have encountered severe fogging on some rolls recently shot. I am yet to shoot the 25 and 64 versions, waiting for some sunny days to come.
I do understand your point of view. But this is my own experience, so I speak as I find. No serious light intrusion or anything like that should occur in a lightproof cassette. It never occurs with my own reloads, it never occurs with metal cassettes. I do not presume anything bad related to the products sold by Svema, just relaying my own experience, such as it is.
Regarding fogging, I do understand this can happen at times and I accept that, of course. However, it should not happen (and never did) to 4 consecutive films shot. And we are not talking here about some frames lost because of whatever: the entire 36 exp. film was affected, badly. That said, all other Svema films I tried so far performed well, the last 4 rolls in the bin they went.
Regarding the cassettes, I had a closer look and some of them do have issues. I say some, not all.
