Hello,
I want to buy Kodak Vision3 500T/7219 35mm 400ft to shoot it with my Nikon F3. My only concern is that the film was made in 2010 and stored in refrigerator. Also customs officers in my country are sh**, what would happen if they put the can trough xray? I dont know very much about motion picture and their expiry dates. I wll be very gratefull for some tips using this film, what results to
Hello,
Motion Picture Films should not be x-rayed.
But to me it is a need to avoid this to any film.
Here we have an adittion : expired films
(7 years)
If you asked me it is depending to the price.
How many 135-36 films will you get from a roll of 400ft ?
4 x 20 films - am I right ?
What is the price you would pay to a simple film with such colors you can see from above?
For me it will be $ 0,50 at a max.
So it should be a serious offer to $ 40,-
But I personaly would not like to have
80 strange color films.
I would perhaps have fun with 5 of such
films.Ok let us say max. 10 films.
So it is ok to pay $5,- to a can with 400ft.
Other calculation : Only every 6th can of Motion Picture Film is freezed in reality !
Beware of this stuff out of private hands.
Often it is dealed several times on ebay again and again.
I've seen cheap offers from 1990 on Ebay?
(THEY ARE NIE AVAIBLE ON FPP SIDES)
.
What is a good price to you to one correct 135-36 film ? Let's say $3,- ?
$3,- x 80 = $ 240,- : 6 = $40,-
In the first calculation we should pay
a max. of $ 40,- my calculation is at
$ 5,-the last is at $ 40,- again .
Now it is to you.....
with regards
PS: With cheap offers to expired films
on Ebay you should be a good business
man - or you should be a hard gambler.
PS : Remember the ramjet I was very
impressed from at the begining but after
a while I would not care to much about.
It is not a very great problem.
You will also need EPN2 but to cheap films (expired) ...???...why not c-41 !!
Well, it's lottery.
Are you 100% sure it was stored properly? If not it can be pretty bad. Xray in airport actually won't do anything to film. It's not 80s. New xray machines are pretty good.
I had vision2 500t, developed in c-41, but with all standards regarding the process. It is very reticulated, probably because of bad storage. The date looks the same as you mentioned or close to it.
My friend on the other hand had normal result with the same film, bought from different supplier.
This is the bad reticulated 500T:
Cholentpot, nice rose. What is your process for removing remjet?
Thanks! Do you reload the film on the reel to go into the stabilizer bath? And when you say "fill and dump until clear", are you refilling with baking soda solution, or plain water? I appreciate your comments.
I wouldn't spend a lot of money on 400 ft of any film which was 7 years outdated....it's a lot of film to use up if it proves not to be good ! Refrigeration helps storage, of course (if it really has been stored properly, including a sealed tin to prevent any condensation), although I believe that movie film is rather like the old "Professional" still films, which were released on balance and ready to be used promptly ? (PE could confirm that ?)
X-rays might be a gamble....generally the Xray machines used on passengers hand-baggage film seem to be OK these days, but (without claiming any knowledge of what type are used by customs and postal services) I'd be a bit concerned given the amount of film which you could lose through damage. (One one hand, I've bought fresh and older, rarer, films by mail from several countries, including Eastern Europe, with no problems. But, OTOH, a film sent by mail for processing in Germany was damaged by Xrays!)
I use V3,500T that I bought from an APUG user. Works great although the REMJET is a pain. I'm not sure how out of date it was. It also has a great smell that other films don't have.
Coming again to color shiftings cholentpot - so as we can see this here. Sometimes it is realy not soo bad to have a little diferent color look and to me it is more interesting.
Because the way of digital manipulation is possible to grandma too with some clicks.
A very special color " note" with some films is not easy to imitate from others......
