New film or new packaging of some existing film?

"Tried and trusted pan chromatic emulsion" sounds like a rebranding. Kentmere?

I also think it's a rebranding, but anyways, we are having film news almost everyday!

Definitely only new packaging of an existing film.
Stephen Dowling (Zorki Photo) is a Blogger.
Bloggers cannot make new films. Period.
Film manufacturing is "rocket-science", it is extremely difficult. Only a few, established companies (or re-established with former engineers like Film Ferrania) can make film.

But I have to admit Stephen's new packaging looks very sweet 🙂.
Nice design.

Cheers, Jan

I'd be willing to order some just for the packaging.

You can probably figure out what film it really is by going to his Blog, and seeing what he has been shooting with the last few years.

I tried the same on his Instagram. He seems to shoot a lot of Neopan and Tri-X. This has to be something different I suppose.

4 Brexits for minimum order of 3 rolls of films with camera on package different from camera in the film name. Plus shipping.
Looks like someone is trying to make money on rebranding, repackaging and it is done most lame way I have seen so far.

I saw that packaging as well. 36 exposures? Obviously he hasn't read the recent thread here about preferred film frame length. What was he thinking? 😛

Didn't notice about the camera design until you pointed it out. 🙄

A bit over $5 US a roll for these. Not too terrible, I think. Unless it's rebranded Shanghai/Seagul...

6.5 USD per roll. I'm in different spending bracket.

I bet it is UK made Kentmere 100. Which is 39.95 USD per bulk roll from BH and it is possible to get it under free shipping. I just did it this week, but for HP5+.
He wants three rolls for order minimum, plus shipping. 19.5 USD for tree rolls. While Kentmere 100 in bulk from BH is 39.99. So, to me it is six rolls vs thirty rolls. Well...I'm in thirty rolls for the price of six rolls bracket. 😀

wow, the repackaging game is strong these days. it seems there's some legit money to be made from it (JCH street pan). if it's something that's difficult to get my hands on in the US, i might be interested. if it's kentmere, it's a BIG pass.
