Has anyone seen the new remjet-free film by small respoolers in the US yet? It would be tempting to try some.
Don't know if it is news, AHU is officially launched
"addition of an anti-halation protective undercoat layer (“AHU”) on the emulsion side of the film, which washes away during processing"
Is this a silver AHU layer or a dye-based layer?
That's a good point. I guess it'll be possible, but you'll end up with an extra layer of density. May not be a problem if you scan the film if the density is somewhat limited.Does this mean that bleach bypass processing wouldn't be possible with the new films?

In movie production I think bleach bypass is (was) generally done on the original recording film. But I doubt many productions use it anymore. In principle, bleach bypass could be done on the print film, but I doubt this was done.
Not in the US, but a shop in Belgium has some 250D & 500T in 35mm 36 exposure rolls for €10.99
Filmriss Cosmo 250D 135/36exp C41! (no remjet but ahu)
This film doesn't have a Remjet coating, but the new Kodak AHU coating, and can therefore be developed in the standard C-41 chemistryoldcam.ccvshop.nl

Filmriss is a new german shop (they opened one month ago) selling the new Kodak Vision 3 and also Foma films in 35 mm for very, very, low prices. Curiously, oldcam is selling the film with a 57% uplift compared to buying directly to Filmriss. For now I stay away until I see some feedback from people I know that have bought it (and yet not received anything after three weeks).
Their 'legal notice' page suggests an address in Germany and indicates also two apparently German proprietors. Any shop can sell without VAT if the customer requires it; in this case the customer is required to pay VAT directly to their local authorities. This sometimes happens for esp. international transactions. However, AFAIK within the EU the customer needs to have a standing agreement with their local tax authority to be allowed to use this method. It's very unusual and likely illegal for a EU-based shop to sell without VAT to private individuals within the EU and indeed to list an ex-VAT price by default. If these guys are indeed in Germany, I expect they'll be in trouble with the German tax authority in due course. Honestly, this sounds like a couple of guys who just don't know what they're doing.I don't know where in the world this store is located, as I thought VAT was mandatory everywhere in the EU.

I suspect these guys will have trouble if they do not include information about the price including VAT in their price lists.
Yeah, you're right, but the limit is pretty low. Around here it's EUR 20k. It's indeed possible they'll transition towards a regular VAT-paying operation.There are business entities that can be exempt from the VAT system (they pay VAT on their supply side (like we all, final customers, do), but don’t charge VAT to their customers and therefore don’t need to pay VAT to authorities since they never collected any VAT).
Such arrangements are normally reserved for very small one-person operations with a fairly low yearly limit of invoiced goods/services (like 50k EUR or thereabouts).
I just bought 15 rolls of Cosmo 250D/24 film from this store.

Actually, it’s the other way around. You need to clearly specify that your price does NOT include VAT (mandatory citation of the applicable section of the EU directive that handles your situation of small business outside the VAT system or local law that implements the directive).
250D is a nice film. Have fun and if you do bleach bypass with the new film, I would be interested in knowing your experiences.
I think this is the case too, not a scam, but it doesn't confort me either. A couple of people I know already cancelled their orders after not being notified about the delay in shipment. The delay until the 25th of August caused by more orders than expected (according to Filmriss) was communicated around a week ago by email to some customers but not to others. You need much more than good intentions to run a business. Let's see how they finally deliver... (and I hope they do it well)

Nice; they also sell 30m rolls. They list AHU/remjet-free V3-250D 30m for €159. That's a lot of color film for a modest price.I got my V3 with AHU from 35mmdealer.de.
