Proposal for a new IR film from J & C

I agree with Kevin Saitta. I think John has now told us as much as we can expect. We now simply watch this space and wish him luck.

Interesting idea. My only concern is that the intense PVC, etc. fumes that assault one's olfactory system when entering a Michael's might be deleterious to film.
 
Properly stored, I doubt that buying film from Michael's is any more risky than from B&H, assuming a chain like Michael's ever took on such a project. New films are stored inside of plastic bags which are tightly wrapped around the film; and then double-boxed. Michael's has the financial wherewithal to provide refrigerators for film stock and paper, should they pursue the idea.

I, for one, and very enthusiastic about J&C's idea. I only recently discovered their company and fully intent to purchase my film from them in the future. I'll be among the first to try any new formulations they manufacture.
