Dave, are you at liberty to tell us how much has been ordered?
I'm 100% buying the super 8, and probably some 135....how much will depend on price but definitely buying some super 8.
I see some beautiful Kodachrome Reds thereIt was my favorite thing. I can still remember the smell of the screen and the Argus/Airequipt ?? projector that would jam. I transferred all my Dad's slides into Carousels when the slide tray purge hit about 10 years ago. My Dad didn't waste a shot not when he was paying a silver dime a piece for a 25B press bulb (remember the crackle of the blue plastic film as it melted onto the bulb?) By the late 70's he had a Beseler Topcon Auto 100, My sister and I were grown up and he just banged away like everybody did.
He took some fabulous shots, I would bet that there are at least 10 or 12 slides that are worthy of national Geographic, Life etc.

Sorry, no I am not.
We sold all that we can deliver in a short period of time. As I said in another reply, we did not want to be in an endless pre-sale loop, forever catching up to sales from two weeks ago. So we decided to fast-track the stuff we discussed in our Scaling Up post: Dead Link Removed
...then must cure for a few days in the freezer to stabilize it before it is then thawed and coated.
Today, I re-read the "scaling up" post and made a note of this,
... reference to curing in freezer...
I wonder why?
Some new images are up...

This is not generally true of photographic emulsions or dispersions though. The only case I know of is an old set of Ammonia digest formulas that suggest curing in the cold for up to 3 days. This is accomplished today by heating longer. I would agree with the "I wonder why" comment.

I wonder if it has be be aged at something like 30 degrees (C) which sounds cold to someone who uses F
I'm sure prints will look good as those scans. I wish they bothered to actually print at least one frame though! If it was me taking those photos with a film nobody else has the chance to use, I deffinitely would have printed one or two!They look stunningly beautiful.
If this is how prints will also look, then I could see P30 to stay for decades on the market...

It would be nice if they also whipped up a batch of Polymax, or even better, EktalureWonder what paper they may have used.

I wish they showed the prints then. I can't wait to see some results from people around the worldI guess they have, as part of the testing needed for assessing best development times, etc.
I agree. Although 1700ppi is more than adequate for showing on the web.In the captions I - personally - would avoid references to scans at 9600 dpi with a Canon CanoScan 9000F Mark II. Such claims by Canon are entirely unsubstantiated and should be taken with half a kilogram of salt.
According to this test, the real resolution achievable with this scanner is 1700 ppi, which is good for the type of scanner.
The best dedicated film scanners reach about 4000 ppi.

Oh, and I would add: beautiful pictures, and beautiful grey gradations! Makes you feel like trying B&W.

Rollei has never made that claim.it's like Rollei selling aerial films for ridiculous prices telling us how they are silver rich
