fyi I asked orwo, it's a new 400 ASA film. I have a roll of N75 left, might order one NP400 to compare.What is wolfen NP400 ? Is it N75 or a new emulsion ?

So if there is now a new 400 film, NP400, has ORWO said if its new attributes are the same as NP400? Is it in effect identical to NP100 except for the speed?
Thanks

www.orwo.shop was an empty shell up until recently, but there's a lot of interesting things now, Aside from wolfen NP100.
If I'm not mistaken, you could only buy in bulk, and it wasn't easy to get your hand on UN54 and N75. Looks like they now sell 35mm 36exp cassettes !

I read somewhere (their instagram account perhaps), ORWO stated that NP100 is UN54 with an antihalation layer.
I am not familiar with any Orwo products, but if N75 is 400 ISO, then one could speculate that NP400 could be the same with an added antihalation layer.
At best R&D do their work, marketing theirs and some people hired for going online theirs. And this all during insolvency with limited means.
I'm wondering/hoping if they can make std 8mm film at similar prices per foot.
The business was founded with the professional cinematographic market in mind. They seemingly lack 8mm perforating tools (where did they go?). But they could improvise perforating, but that again would raise costs.

Going by the data sheet of NP100 which was released recently by Orwo, the new film as a significantly different spectral response compared to Orwo UN54 from which the new film is derived. What effect this has in real-world shooting is something that Orwo should have talked about but they make no mention of it. When a new film like NP100 is made, does the R&D team or the product management team employ a few experienced and knowledgeable photographers to test the film and provide feedback at various stages of R&D of the film?
Standard 8 is the same as Double 8, is it not? There are lots of places around that perforate that format, if they needed it for their business plan they could pay Foma, Kodak, or perhaps even Ilford to do the cutting and perfing and return the pancakes for final packaging. As noted, though, 8 mm may not be in their target market.
The data sheet is full of copy-paste errors from the UN54 sheet - even with mention of UN54 where it should say NP100.
I am not sure why one would trust the curves when the other information published in that document has obvious errors.That's true. However, the key information, i.e. the three figures showing the density curve, spectral response curve and structure of the film, are noticeably different from those of Orwo UN54.

Well, since about a year they are slowly turning to amateurs. So we shall see. But do not overlook their currrent suituation. At the moment it is not even clear who is managing director...
