Somewhere in the myriad of internet locations that Harman shares things, there is or was information about how their two film product lines compare.
And included in that is a reference to the fact that the difference in the level of anti-halation incorporated in the films helps contribute to being able to sell the Kentmere products at a reduced cost to customers like the educational markets.
It isn't that there is no anti-halation. It is that the anti-halation is less.
It isn't that there is no anti-halation. It is that the anti-halation is less.
Of course, with 120 that is probably less important because of the backing paper.
So I wonder what has changed in the market conditions that now make it worthwhile for Ilford to make it in 120

Actually, it makes more sense to continue the discussion from here. [...]
Ditto. It looks more like film. I've never tried a film lacking anti halation but I don't think that "problem" would bother me.Not having anti halation is a feature not a bug these days.

That's helpful Matt. Incidentally if APX 100 and 400 is the same as Kentmere and is produced in 120 then presumably it didn't take a lot "engineering" or expense relatively speaking to turn out Kentmere in 120 as well
I cannot recall the reasons some on Photrio gave to it not being worthwhile for Ilford to make Kentmere in 120 but the reasons stated seemed to centre around there not being a big enough market demand. So I wonder what has changed in the market conditions that now make it worthwhile for Ilford to make it in 120

What purpose will these new films serve if there are no medium-format cameras being currently produced? My Mamiya is getting very old and to replace it I see no alternative but another very old Mamiya...
Owner of local second-hand camera store recently told me that he's selling an extraordinary amount of medium format these days, many buyers being new film-format enthusiasts who after a few years now want to upgrade from 35mm to 120 film. Might be part of it.
I've said it elsewhere: if I were younger I'd seriously think of studying film-camera repair. There's going to be a lot of demand in the coming years.
There is also not much 35mm film cameras new, beside a few super low end and Leica...
Right now are still old camera repair people around, get of your favourite one 1-2 CLA'd and they should last quite a bit longer. I had in the last year a Minolta Autocord and a Pentax 645 done, they had lasted a few decades, and now some more... Not much different to 35mm. Many cameras from the 70s still work fine, if you want to keep them alive get a CLA (even though buying another used one is currently often still cheaper).

It is just like barf.I would rather not have to deal with it. But you are free to swim in it if you choose.

I keep reading this not being sure you mean old cameras, old repair people, or both...
