intersting. Arista EDU ultra at B&H?

destroya · Oct 18, 2015

looking for another bulk roll and this popped up when searching for bulk rolls.

so do you think this is a deal between Foma and B&H or a deal between freestyle and B&H? I guess this is good news either way.

they have been carrying the "Holga" brand film in 135-24 and 120 which is distributed by Freestyle's Wholesale division.

I have occasionally seen the EDU ultra in other stores, like Digital Truth.

They've also got 200 and 400, and all of them in cassettes, bulk, and 120 too. Those are good prices for 100 ft. of film.
I've still got 5 bulk spools of arista premium in my freezer so it's going to be a while, especially since I'm using more 120 lately...

I..

ONly thing I find with the Foma Bulk stock is that it has NO edge printing of any kind. I do like to see something pre-exposed, even if only every 18 inches just to have a reference density to compare with.

I also was just browsing Freestyle and see that ALL the Arista.EDU Ultra films are in the closeouts section, along with the Foma films. Is Freestyle dropping their house brand? Say it ain't so!

Not that I can see. They do have a rebate on some Arista.EDU materials & there are some Foma paper items in the clearance section along with Arista ortho lith.

All the Arista.EDU Ultra films also show up in the Clearance section. Now maybe that's just "excess stock so we're running a rebate" so they put them there. I don't know.

I'm not seeing that on chrome or firefox - neither here nor on another computer across town. There is arista litho 2.0 in the clearance section

The only Arista films that I'm seeing under clearance are the Ortho/Litho 2.0. They are running a rebate on Arista EDU Ultra films, but they're not listed under clearance or closeout. I suspect that the Arista Ortho 2.0 is being cleared out to make room for the 3.0 version.

I hope it's not being discontinued.

Maybe it's time to hoard.

Roger Cole · Oct 23, 2015

Huh. It was there last night but it's gone now. Well as long as they aren't dropping it...

I shoot a little of but don't rely on it. The loss of it wouldn't be a big impact on me right now, I just don't want to see choices further narrowed. And if I ever DO go 8x10 I expect I'd be buying it in that size give the price delta.

BTW, I did throw a couple of rolls of the 400-36 on my last B&H order. Arrived promptly with the rest, and was the non-DX coded version. Only one or two of the Ultra films were not listed as "special Order"

Arista is Foma which has stopped coding it's 35mm canisters.
