New B/W films from Ultrafine?

[ItsReallyDarren]

I just took a look at Ultrafine's website and saw a new film being offered called; "Ultrafine Plus Black and White films"

http://www.ultrafineonline.com/newulplblfi.html

Part of the product description goes

New Ultrafine Plus films combine over a half century of cutting edge technology applied to the latest state-of-the-art film base..."

I've heard before their non "Plus" films were re-badged foma films, which seem to have very similar times. I cant seem to find any development times for this new film. Ill try giving them a call Monday to find out more. In the mean time, anybody ever heard of or had experiences with this film?

The film is also in their current catalog. The catalog also says that the processing information is available on the web site but it is not linked to from the film page.

Has anyone tried UltraFine color film?

Gave Ultrafine a call today asking about their new film. They were pretty hush hush about any details of the film. Didnt give any information about similar characteristics or specific country of manufacture. They did say that both "new" and regular films have the same development times. The only other information they gave me is that both the regular and "new" films are not made in the US.

Ive got a feeling that the regular films are repackaged Foma films both from the development times listed and from various hearsay around the net.

As for the "new" film, my best guess would be Efke, the 100 and 400 speed films have a similar development times listed with the regular(/Foma?) films.

Has anyone tried UltraFine color film?

Havent shot with their color film yet, but if I were to guess I would think its Ferrania's color film.

Try an email to silverprint in the UK- they will give you a straight answer if they know it.

The colour of the film looks a lot like Foma 100

Thanks, Darren, that makes sense.
