China Lucky to resume color negative film production in 2024

Sounds good, but isn't SHD 100 a black and white film?
 
That sounds like it might be kind of misleading, as it likely refers to the short-lived joint venture between these firms some 25 years ago.

It is certainly intriguing, as you and I both believe that the investment from Kodak was years ago. N&T are not, as far as I know, known for misleading customers.

It hasn't appeared for sale on their website yet but I'll keep an eye out.

Yes it sounds about as reliable a statement as Bernie Madoff's investment scheme was

I did a quick Google search and found this image.






See the underlined in red: "Lucky's new generation SHD400 back and white film is a full-colour high speed
film"

Maybe something is lost in translation or maybe you can't believe the internet, OR maybe Lucky has invented a new multipurpose B&W/colour film.
 
A marketing way of saying it's panchromatic. However, it is not clear how far the red will go - whether it will be able to be used in the IR spectrum...

Yes, but the English translation can appear misleading.

You might notice that the box displays SHD 400 CN.
IIRC the CN used to denote colour negative, or maybe I am reading it wrong.

Note that this film was designed for the C-41 process. Probably like the Ilford XP2.

Thanks for that, I didn't know that Lucky produced a chromogenic B&W film. Do you know is it more like the Kodak BW400CN (with the orange mask) or like Ilford XP2 Super?
 
I hope this as well as Ilford's new color offering provide downward pressure on prices. Now if someone could produce an inexpensive general use E-6 like Sensia...

Or ANY other colour transparency film would be great! (I mean a proper film, not like Phoenix colour neg.)
 
One year later now - did anyone hear some news about this?
 
Before even thinking about a color film they should solve their annoying quality issues with SHD400.
