How much film do you have horded?

[Stephanie Brim]

I'm afraid we'd get told to use the classifieds. For film, I think it would just be so much easier.

 

[sienarot]

Hmm... Maybe if we can get moderator approval?

Any mods okay with a film trade thread?

At the moment: 120 rolls of TriX 35mm
2000 ft of TriX
80 rolls of Lucky 400
50 rolls of Acros
5600 ft of Super XX (1600ft now and 4000ft to come)
3x 150 ft of Techpan
10x assorted PanF/APX 100/Plus X/ Efke KB 14 in 100ft cans and some 160ftx2 of APX 400S and 100ft of what I think is 100 ASA FP-4 (no label on the can). There are also some VERY old Kodak 35mm from 1930 (4 rolls) and 2x50 ft of Panatomic -X. Also some Haagen Daz Chocolate Ice-cream. Film takes priority! On Saturday I will get another 300ft of Neopan 400 so the ice-cream got to go!
I have to admit that I get nervous if I dont have at least 12-15 month supply on hand.

Maybe all our Velvia 50 hording is the reason for Fuji bringing it back? Hahaha 🙂

Hey Tom, if there was no film too buy in the world, you might be one who has one of the largest stock piles of film in the northern hemisphere. 😀

Are you hiding any Velvia 50?

Ken ,you can buy Double XX from Kodak's Motion Picture Division in either 400,1000 or 3000 ft cans. The idea of being stuck in the darkroom with 3000 ft of film in an open can is rather scary! The 1000ft can are bad enough. You need about 180 Leica IXMOO cassettes to load that, but you can then shoot with great abandon for a while.

Thanks for the info Tom, Good to know. The short ends places I have talked with have seemed a bit iffy for mail order for small lots, with standard shipping being next day big$$ courrier for the "holy jumpins, I have 13 stars, an elephant, and 55 extras lined up for tomorrow and I'm out of Plus-X" crowd. 400 ft would be manageable. I have been wanting to try out Double XX. It seems to be more tri-X than tri-X, decidedly retro. Does Kodak Canada sell it, or are we talking Rochester?

Regards,

Ken

You can try Kodak Canada, but your best bet is Kodak Rochester Motion Picture Division. The last batch I bought was US$127/400 ft from them (2006). I got that through a friend at one of the motion Picture Labs here in town. It was the "father" of Tri X. It is a slightly improved version now, the base is different but the emulsion seems the same and it behaves like triX except you rate it at 250 in daylight and 200 in tungsten. I use the same time in my various developer as I would with triX,. In contrasty light I would pull it by 15%, but keep the speed at 250.
There is no problem with using it in manually wound cameras, but if you use motors, Leicaflex SL Mot/Nikon Md-1/and Canon F1 Motor, the slightly different pitch of the sprocket holes can "bunch" it up. I also found that with Horizon 202 it would jam at frame 24/25 due to the pitch. On M-Leicas/Nikon Rf's etc - no problem at all.
I suspect that they make it batches for Hollywood movies and such as george Clooney's "Good Night and Good Luck" and "The Good German".

Last I counted:
- 10 rolls of Kodachrome 64 - Kodachrome's discontinued in Japan, I got the last 14 rolls the biggest place downtown had (Horiuchi Color in Tokyo still does K-14, but only until 12/20 this year.)
- 2 or 3 rolls of Neopan Acros & Presto (Acros for testing, Presto for rainy days - literally)
- 1 roll of Ilford Delta 3200 - never tried 3200 speed film before, gonna try it on a rainy night
- 2 rolls of TMAX 400 - I liked the results I got with 120 format, but not using them 'cause it costs $10 a roll to develop
- 10 rolls of Fortia 50, 120 format (for the next great sunset.)
- 10 rolls of Velvia 100, 120 format
- 1 roll of E100VS, 35mm format - my favorite slide film right now
