Kodak did have issues with scale when they had a number of facilities and demand was shirking, now that Kodak is down to just one plant and demand is increasing as long as Kodak can it's production lining line running 24/7 it will have an advantage over the smaller producers. With Fuji selling rebranding Kodak 200 and 400 35mm it means that Kodak can keep it's coating line busy. Still, due to Kodak's scale what they make as to be in quantity. Wonder if Kodak "lab coater" is not busy why they could not coat a limited run of older films, like Panatomic X or Plus X? Sell has a higher cost to people who would be willing to may a higher price?

So now I don't understand why everybody is assuming Kodak is the manufacturer that would have the least cost
The whole point of, for example, the Ferrania project, was to dramatically scale-down the operations of a big factory
Yep, as I understand it Fuji is selling rebranded Kodak 400. Don't know if Fuji is only selling rebranded Kodak in the US and maybe the EU or in Asia as well.

Although not a Arcos user been told that new Arcos is made by ILford, some say the emulsion is make in Japan and coated in England, other that ILford makes it, others say it is Delta or a close version of Delta 100. Other than Instafilm (sp?) Fuji may be out of the film making business, so much for Fujifilm.
For those of us in the US, one roll is $16.00 plus $32.10 for shipping for a grand total of $48.10.
And for that price, thanks but no thanks.

I tried to find out what the shipping cost would be if I ordered 10 rolls, but it wouldn't give me that information unless I filled out all of the payment information which I declined to do.
Looks like the samples posted have improved in quality month by month.
Indeed the latest sample images do look better. Hopefully a sign that they're improving their film with every run.
I've heard from ORWO that they do intend to make their colour negative cine film eventually available in 8mm format. Which might just be something I'd buy depending on price.
Interesting that they choose to rate the film as ASA instead of ISO.
Ferrania also did this. I wonder if it's because they haven't performed all the tests in the ISO standard?
ORWO have stated this colour negative movie film will be C41.
The fact that they list their (limited supply!) still film (Wolfen NC500) as C-41 means very little. ECN-2 film can be cross processed in C-41 as evident with Cinestill films. Results are still acceptable for the crowds that only scan the film.
