We want Any cheap color films not Kodak - Fuji

[mohmad khatab]

Any color films not Kodak - Fuji
I would like a huge amount of expired films or cheap freshness
We want cheap C4, E6 films - we dread the bulk in Egypt.
The number of new amateurs doubles daily and this is illustrated by the critical demand for used film cameras.
But there is a very big problem.
Film color is not readily available - whether it is expired or fresh.
- We were able to unite the efforts of a number of interested people who want to buy and resell this film, and a huge sum of money was collected in order to strive towards purchasing a huge amount of color films.
- Do I find any information with a colleague about the availability of any color cheap films in large quantities - the brand does not matter whatsoever - even if the films are outdated it does not matter, we can manage the appropriate and appropriate chemical acids.
I really wish all the dear colleagues of the great forum any information in this regard. God bless you.

Mohmad,

Have you checked with Astrum about Svema colour film? Dmitriy might have some in 35mm, 120 and sheet formats.

I've had good results with past date cold stored E6 films from Ultrafine. I've bought Fuji from them, but they have other options.

With great regret.
I received this email from Mr. Dimitri this morning.

Thank you very much, my dear.
I have sent them a message and I will wait for a response.
God bless you dear.

Dear brother .
Please allow me to ask you.
Have you ever purchased from this company?
Have you ever dealt and bought from Mr. Dimitri before? ?
There are some rumors circulating from here and there stating that this company is not a company that is not serious in dealing and does not deal in a professional manner, and there are people who question more than that.
-And, in fact, it does not appear to be an unknown company and we do not know anything about it, it is a company that was built on the ruins of the ancient SAVIMA company, but the management of that company raises a lot of suspicion.
What do I show you, my dear brother
God bless you.

I've bought a couple of times from Astrum and have been quite happy with the transaction as well as the films. Several others on photrio have also bought film from Astrum I believe. Don't know who is feeding rumors into your head but my experience with Astrum has been very positive.

 

[Ernst-Jan]

With lower prices film manufacturers don't have any budget to upgrade or upscale machinery or to do research on (re)introduction of (new) films. Also educating new emulsion makers what is important for the future of film photography takes huge investments.
Film was before the recent increase simply too cheap.

I don't think there are any other manufacturers that make colour film. Lomography, Silbersalz and Cinestill are all made by Kodak and also not cheap.

And please don't bless god on my behalf

And please don't bless god on my behalf

I think we need to recognise some religious and cultural differences here in the use of this phrase God bless you. Would it be a problem if he were to say "Best wishes or "I wish you health and happiness"

If not then think of God bless you in this light

Hi brother.
I was talking about a negative color film and not black and white.
Have you ever used a negative film color produced by that company?
- Yes, the rumors, I know they look unjust, so I do not trust these rumors, just I wanted to get assurances from you, as we are in the process of concluding a huge deal, not a small one, so being careful and increasing the reserve is desirable.
thank you very much .

I've bought only B&W films from Astrum and hence I can't give you assurance about colour film.

Before placing big order, you should perhaps consider placing a small order and check if the film(s) meets your requirements.

Why not kodak or fuji?

Why not kodak or fuji?

We want cheap price

 

[Anon Ymous]

There is no such thing as a cheap E6 film at this point. There used to be, but not anymore. Your only choice of fresh, cheap C41 is Kodak ColorPlus 200 and Fujicolor C200. Availability is a bit iffy lately though. If that's still too expensive, then I'm afraid it's either shoot less of it, or switch to digital.

 

[mohmad khatab]

Mr. Dimitri sent me the attached price list long ago.
And he told me that it produces a negative color film, as I understood it was an emulsion that was intended for aerial photography with the name Svema with the old (ORWO) technology and it needs acids for aerial films, not (C41), and as I understood from Mr. Dimitri that he is packing it in Cartridges (35 mm - 36 exposures).
We engaged in this matter until we reached a dead end because of the lack of mutual trust.
- I asked him to get free samples in order to test this product, but he almost refused it indirectly.
- Therefore we considered that this company does not deal in a professional manner,
- This is a largely unknown film emulsifier, we do not know its properties and data, and I have requested (Datasheet) for this emulsion but it did not give me any data that has any scientific value.
- And based on all of the above, we felt afraid of such a deal that might cause us to bear huge losses.
(We don't want to buy a tram) This is an Egyptian popular saying.
- I hope you take a look at the attached document,
- I wanted to say Mr. Dimitri's phone, he is available, but he does not speak English, and I don't even hahaha
I do not know what to do .

mohmad. My post which you quote was addressed to the poster in his post above mine. He was called Ernst-Jan. He was the one whom you thought was angry. He was the one who told you not to bless God on his behalf. I was the one asking him to recognise while he may not want to have God bless him, the expression God bless you is a normal expression and used by many with the best of intentions and even to people like Ernst-Jan who may not believe in God or want anyone to use such an expression as God bless you to them, he should recognise this is a normal expression and he should take it in the spirit that this means you wish him well. Your good intentions were very clear to me

I was asking that he recognise that is a normal expression for you and you say this with the best of intentions. God bless you is a natural and perfectly proper expression

Your English is very good but it is not always easy to understand what we English speakers mean. However I was disappointed that others for whom English is their native language seem to address their criticisms towards me when if they read what I had said properly they should recognise that I was not the one who had any problem with your expression of God bless you. This was Ernst-Jan

So just to repeat for all concerned: I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH YOUR EXPRESSION "GOD BLESS YOU.

I do hope this clarifies matters

Well my dear brother ...
You can help the Egyptian analog community (if you like this).
- You can guide me towards any merchant who has stock of those categories that I mentioned even if it is about to expire.
- If you have any information on this matter, please help me ,, please.
We are considering buying 1000 rolls.
The financiers of this deal are four photographers. I handle the issue of negotiation, research, etc.
If you have any information, please help me to get the cheapest price.
God bless you .

Yes, that's what I'm thinking of doing.
If you also want to try this air film. why not

Sadly, I'm clueless when it comes to wholesale dealers.

The difficulty is double, with great regret.
It is not available, and because it is not available, it is expensive.
