Thanks Juergen!

Still what is it? Must be either out of date Orwo or Kodachrome.

I asked Freddy twice. First answer was: no Kodak film, second: none. Tomorrow we will ask him in French... :lol:

Well,

I'm French I can ask him but I think that he wants to keep the mystery until the production is up and running.

Exciting !

Yes, but without facts all we get are speculation and rumors...not a good thing.

super8france, Questions:

1. Is the original film manufactured in 2005-2006 or before?

1. Le film original est-il fabriqué dans 2005-2006 ou avant ?

2. Does it process E6 or K-14?

2. Développe-t-il E6 ou K-14?

If it is good I will buy it, if I cannot be sure, I will not. It will benefit you to tell us.

Si c'est bon je l'achèterai, si je ne peux pas être sûr, je ne ferai pas. Il vous profitera à nous dire.

As I know Freddy for a while, I've asked him a few weeks ago what was this stock. All he said was that it isn't some Kodak film.
He also said to me that he had to purchase production equipement such as machines. Still, it doesn't solve the mystery.
BTW, he won't reply for a while. He is very busy with this HR1 stuff and he plans a trip to South America. The french Yahoo group on Super 8 he runs is suspended until January.

The search function is a great thing. I found another post in which it looks like super8france is getting ahead by knocking the Kodachrome repackaging competition! More evidence that the new stock is Kodachrome?

We are not sure what is inside the cartridge. But we are sure that Freddy Aliotte took a photo of a Wittnerchrome 40T cartridge which was made for an ad in schmalfilm magazine without asking Wittner or us if he is allowed to do so. He manipulated this photo and put the label of his worldwonder product on it - whatever it is. This is not the way to become a serious dealer...

Merci pour cette attaque.

J'ai fait circuler des centaines de vos publicités à donner à mes clients et voilà le remerciement, et voilà la charmante collaboration !.

Je pense que les gouts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas. En effet, il y a des personnes qui préférent
- le noir et blanc à la couleur
- le film negatif au film positif. Enfin bref, tout ça pour dire qu'il faut essayer pour avoir un avis et il sera certainement plus constructif d'avoir l'avis de personnes qui ont essayé la HR1.

For the benefits of those who do not speak french, what super8france is saying is:

"Thank-you for this attack.

I did to circulate hundreds of your advertisings to give to my customers and here the thanks, and here the charm collaboration!.

I think that the ??? and the colors do not discuss themselves. In fact, there is persons that prefer

- the black one and white to the color
- the film negative to the positive film.

At last brief, all that to say that it is necessary to try to have an opinion and it will be certainly more constructive to have the opinion of persons that tried the HR1."


My answer is: Your attitude is unprofessional. If you are repackaging Kodachrome 40 as seems likely from the description of the white reels, the three week development time, and your interest in Wittnerchrome 40T, then it would be more professional to admit this.

People will not hand over money to someone acting like a crook.

Which in french is:

Votre attitude est contraire au code professionnel. Si vous reconditionnez Kodachrome 40 comme semble probablement de la description des bobines blanches, le trois temps de développement de semaine, et votre intérêt dans Wittnerchrome 40T, alors ce serait plus professionnel pour admettre ceci.

Les gens ne remettront pas d'argent à quelqu'un agissant comme un escroc.
