So you win the mega Powerball what film?

Plus-X seems to be the most egregiously discontinued B&W film. I bought all that B&H had when it was discontinued, but did so in 35mm. So I'd back a 120 version.

XP2 Super sheet film? Ilford would do it in a flash if it were more widely believed that it works beautifully in B&W developers.

Crazy, crazy, far-out idea: like the new owner of Adox says, a CIBAchrome reversal film seems like something we would all enjoy. Accurate reversal colour with developing as simple as B&W. Wow.

I remember helping my brother make a few CIBAChrome prints on the kitchen floor of his squalid north London flat (long demolished) in the early seventies. They still look great on the wall of his current house fifty years later. That's solid chemistry.

I'd have them make the heirloom recipe for 1940s tri x ortho 400 or just plain ortho film no point in them ever making anything else, modern films are too clean.

I take this back almost completely, no try x ortho. I would commission rolls and rolls of old school ortho film to be made and I'd tell whoever it is who made it to custom make rolls of film of box and folding cameras and ship master rolls as needed to photo warehouse / ultra fine so they could get back to cut and notch film to any sheet film format that exists. It would let people develop by inspection and enlarge, small films and it would be great for alt process people who have been making enlarged negatives the new-fashioned way instead of the old-fashioned way..

I would run out and buy all sorts of color and black & white discontinued films that are still available from all parts of the world and store them in my freezer so that I could collect all of them and keep them from hoarders.

 

[Donald Qualls]

collect all of them and keep them from hoarders.

Anyone for some cognitive dissonance?
