Well there you go Rob. You just counted over Four Dozen color films available. Not too bad I'd say, given the alternative.

Films. formats. emulsions. only 35 mm. only 120. only slides
Sheesh
Can't you people ever be happy?
I'm in danger of showing my age but I used to love Agfachrome CT 18, I suspect I may be in the minority on that one though! Often made holiday locations look better than they were in reality while maintaining good skin tones somehow.
Many people say they do not survive well but luckly mine have lasted well in not so ideal storage conditions (e.g the attic).

Not to get too picky on the "dozens" comment, and at the risk of sounding overly pessimistic, I count 21 in 35mm 36 exp from B&H, 12 in 120, and 3 each in 4x5 and 8x10. LF is clearly in danger with only Kodak carrying the torch.
Perhaps Ferrania will become the Ilford of color film...
Can you list them? A list of distinct (different) currently available color emulsions, independendly of format, would be interesting.
The attached spreadsheet shows the color negative emulsions available from B&H as of this morning. There are 22 distinct emulsions, as sold. If some happen to be repacked versions of other emulsion (i.e. duplicates), this is not accounted for. If I missed any due to incorrect characterization by B&H, please point them out. They have an Adox B&W sheet film characterized as a color film.
Some interesting points:
- Kodak Professional films are available in all formats from 35mm thru 8x10.
- Lomography has 4 emulsions in 35mm and 6 in 120.
Regards,
Rob
Sadly only 3 or 4 left in 4''x5''.
I experiment with different films (whatever remains) but my favorite is Provia. I have preferred slide film for a good while, and Provia handles both skin tones and landscapes well in my opinion.
What about you?
Wow!!! Thanks Rob!!
Some complementary info:
- Kodak Colorplus 200 is widely sold in south america, and it's not the same as Gold 200 according to some sources.
- The "agfa vista" films are supposedly Fuji Superia, so they might not be "distinct"
- In Japan there is more variety of Fuji C41 films, supposedly even Superia 1600 or 800 is available, would somebody please confirm?
I understand the list is not including E6 films.
