regular 8 TRI-X

[MIKI-814]

Further investigation concerning the TRI-X issue has revealed that other options exist. It may be less costly to have a special run of ORWO UN54 made with R8 perforations. UN54 appears to have a EI of 125 when processed in Kodak reversal chemistry. Also Agfa Scala 200 clear base is available in wide rolls and could be slit and perforated to R8/N8. I believe Kahl may alreadty be selling as UT24 B/W reversal. Both of these options would be more managable than investing $21500 in Tri-X. Perhaps not as desirable as fresh Kodak tri-x from Kodak but not as hard on the bank account.

Orwo UN54 in reversal is a wonderful film. Those who have tried it prefer it over Kodak B/W stocks, and seems to be cheap. In fact Kahl 200 B/W film is Orwo, processed somehow.

Edward Nowhill in the UK can reperforate for R8 any existing 2 perf 16 mm film with perfect results.

Invite you for a meeting to discuss the terms, schedule, procedure and bank-garantee
