adan Posted April 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) https://www.dpreview.com/news/3000625093/kodak-is-bringing-back-kodak-gold-200-for-120-format-cameras Even for 35mm shooters, this will likely result in economies of scale in producing the emulsion goo. Kodak says the emulsion has been "reformulated" and I expect the reformulation will probably show up on 35mm batches eventually. Sounds like it may adapt some tech from ProImage 100 for better shelf-life without refrigeration. https://www.dpreview.com/news/6444872490/fujifilm-confirms-film-prices-will-increase-by-up-to-60 Slightly off the topic - I've always been intrigued that while a roll of 120 and a roll of 135-36 have virtually identical surface areas to coat (~0.046 m^2), rolls of 120 are usually noticeably less expensive. I suspect it comes down to other production costs - 120 has no curvy tips to trim, no sprocket holes to punch, no metal-and-felt cassettes to assemble and load, and (usually) a thinner base - doesn't have to stand up to the rigors of motorized winding. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

erl Posted April 19, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 19, 2022 My first impression of the video/shoot is that it was extremely limited to showcasing only skin tones with the backdrop totally 'absent' as well as the clothing being B&W. So what am I supposed to be impressed by? Happy to try the film, but it needs to be good to beat Portra 400. Yes, I know, different speeds. But shooting MF Hasselblads under available light, 400 is the go. Studio shooting is a different ballgame. Gave that up a few years ago. Just glad that new films are being produced. The 25% price drop is attractive of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
