My prepaid NC500 rolls were sent this past Friday from Bonn and received today. Better late than never I suppose...

 

[TheGreatGasMaskMan]

you got fancy canisters though...

yes, those may be collectors items.

 

[eli griggs]

yes, those may be collectors items.

Perhaps they are available without buying the film from Europa?

 

[TheGreatGasMaskMan]

new random question- does NP100 have the same dev. time as un54?

 

[aranzebia]

I booked 1000 rolls in September last year and was promised they would start shipping in November.

But so far they haven't sent anything and are avoiding answering my emails.

Also, when comments about delivery delays were posted on orwo Instagram, the comments were closed.

Have you recently received an item or received a reply from them?

I received a roll of Owro P400 V3 100' but they sent me an unperforated roll and I contacted them through chat on their website and they responded very quickly that way and sent me a perforated roll. The order was made in November 2022 and had both rolls in February 2023. The chat seemed to work well for me so give that a try. Filmotec contacts work as well also (filmotec@filmotec.de) A 1000 rls might be a bit large for them at the moment but you can find the progress of that here: https://www.orwo.shop/

Yes it does, I can confirm this. It's basically the same emulsion.

 

[TheGreatGasMaskMan]

Yes it does, I can confirm this. It's basically the same emulsion.

I've since shot two rolls and can confirm the standard un54 dev time works beautifully.

My dealings with ORWO left much to be desired. Never did get the film.

Neither did I (ordered in March). Was rather bitter when I dropped by FotoImpex in Berlin and they had a good stock of it at the store..

 

[Anaxagore]

Films ordered March 31st, shipped November 30th. Orwo took their time but had not forgotten the order. @MartinCrabtree , did you eventually get yours?

 

[TheGreatGasMaskMan]

here's hoping they can get this all in order

Nah it's been 5 or so years. I gave up a long time ago.

it's still confusing- you can't buy 100ft 16mm rolls off their official site but they're readily available on B&H.

I'll speculate contracts, with businesses have sharp penalties, including the risk of other contracts being canceled by other firms, because of failed deliveries to any corporate buyers.

perhaps B&H had bought a few dozen rolls, and still have a few left. I see that the only ORWO 16mm that comes up on a seach fro "Orwo" is Nc400 and NC500, both at US 59.99 regular 79.99 which may be a clear out price. the NC500 still shows in 16mm 400 ft rolls on the Orwo Shop site. I used to enjoy the price on the B&W 35mm N74, but that was before the company re-organized.

I also saw 100ft UN54 rolls as well.

I only see the UN54 in 35mm. the two colour stocks are only in 16mm.​

OK, I wasn't paying attention.
way to go me.

 

[Klaus_H]

In october 2023 I ordered 400ft UN54 35 mm at the ORWO shop.
The film was delivered in very short time (5 days).

 

[cmacd123]

I do miss being able to chat via e-mail with Mr. Campbell at Orwo NA and have him tell me when he mailed my Roll of N74+

 

[TheGreatGasMaskMan]

I honestly wish their social media would get active again- I'm sure I'd get a free shoutout from them for (mostly) shooting my senior project on 16mm NC500.

 

[cmacd123]

As is my Habit, I looked at the "orwo.shop" web site today and see that they have posted a You tube Video, (of I believe Mr. Seal Himself) saying that they have gotten their act otgether! and they will not add anything that is not in stock to the web site. and again saying that they have 3 warehouses to speed up orders, and implying that they will ship the next day on in stock items.

Please look at it and see what you think. I know that I used to find the old N-74 very economical for my playing around. SO I would be interested in what is happening.

This Orwo... they are something else They have 100' of NC500 for sale at a cool 305 EUR.

BUT, they may also do, in their own words, incredible 15% discount "flash sales" from time to time. Yay!
