That is good to know

I guess it's better than nothing, but i'm not that excited about this stock because it looks more like the old VNF 7240... which basically looked like old news footage, since that's what is was for. The last of my 100D coming back looks stunning. I wish there was more availability of the Velvia 50 and 100 because they look just as good.

All the films you mention are available on the site.

Ah, i wasn't sure if they were producing any... but man at those prices it comes out to about $50USD per roll with processing, that's more than 16mm.

[mortron]

Well those prices are better than even Wittner are selling them for.
Unfortunately high prices are something we have to get used to when it comes to shooting super 8 colour reversal.

Gauge Film in the UK has been selling Wittner stock and processing it for a month or so.

What about the old Ektachrome before 64D...wasn't it 160T? That was an ugly stock.

Definitely a great option in Super 8. Wish I could shoot in in 16mm.

Ektachrome VNF 7240 was a 125T stock that replaced Ekta 160T. It was cut from excess "video news film" that dated back to the early 70's, when news footage was gathered on 16mm film. It was easy to process and low contrast for broadcast projection. Kodak discontinued it in 2004 when V2 200T and 500T came out.

Check the index of the forum.

Why does this nothing special thread (and actually a plug a product and shop) get so many views in such a brief time?
It gets even more then much older threads with many more responses.

Google bots

Then all threads would get the same basic level number of views. Which they don't.
It is just peculiar as it isn't the hot content. And how would some know ahead of viewing it

[Mana]

Well, me thinks the new Agfa 200d is a hot topic to search. Other topics, not so much.

[aj]

200d wasn't in the texts of the earlier posts.

But alas. See when it hits 1000.
