And it's important that people continue to pledge, because at the end of the day a small but significant slice of pledges will prove to be uncollectable for a variety reasons. The goal has been met no matter what. But every little extra bit helps.

$264K! This is amazing! Who knew there were so many film photographers out there, and I'm sure that the amount of backers is only a tiny tenth of a percentage of who/whats out there.

Very interesting, I would have guessed that them wanting to save the film base machine was more a "what if" situation, but then again recall that Foma had some problems in getting enough "Clear" base for R100. Ilford and Foma and Filmotec mostly use GREY acetate. and EFKE had to use Poly base for the last few years which is borderline acceptable for 35mm cassettes because of the Light piping, and VERY annoying for movie use as it can only be tape spliced or by using an expensive Ultrasonic splicer. (filmotec uses Poly for their print film, but prints are not generally edited.) so perhaps the supply situation is closer to the bone than we realize. Colour Negative is generally made on a clear base with an AHU layer, but it COULD be made on a grey base.

They are now offering a chance for an official private tour. for 1500 bucks you get your name on one room in th eLRF and get a guided tour so you can see it. Perhaps more tempting is a double up of the "filmburner package" pay 375 US and get a dozen rolls of BOTH 135 and 120. (still don't have one with both still and movie film other than the "collector box")

Anyway, life is never boring.

Out of my 4x 120 rolls, I'm definitely doing at least one in my 6x17. Maybe all of them if it looks good...
