GK Cinevia - healthy sales!

[Angus]

Just got this email from Gottfried Klose of GK Film.

thank you very much for your request.
There is an unexpected large demand for our great new super8 product
CINEVIA. That is why it takes about three more weeks from now before we can
start
shipping the orders, and we would like to ask you for your patience.

While the delay isn't great, it is very good news that demand is higher than they expected!

So, if the expectations were surpassed, hope that the next step will be Fujichrome 64T...

Hey Angus,

When did you order yours? I ordered a roll of Cinevia Super 8 last week and haven't had such an email.

[Rachel Oliver]

Hi;

I've been looking at ordering either this or the wittner but have had no response from either via email enquiry, any one know if the delay is still the case? Is wittner having the same trouble? (good trouble )

I haven't ordered any yet as I have good stocks of K40, Wittnerchrome 40 and Witterchrome 100D.

But I intend to...and have been emailing GK twice a week until they responded

[mathis]

I recieved the same text almost three weeks ago. Let´s see what happens...

[super8france]

it is too long to receive the Cinevia, I have to cancel my order. In addition to this, it does not accept the orders in great quantity

[avr]

I received the same email. Well I have to wait but this is a great new. Cinevia´s will be a great success.

Sounds like K40's found its true successor.

Anyone know how the Pro8mm and Spectra versions of Velvia are selling? I'm hoping that I won't have those same problems in the States getting it.

[Joe Gioielli]

Well, I can't feel all that happy about it. It is my understanding that Fuji has dumped the 50 asa stock so once this stock is gone it's gone for good.

Unless Fuji changes it's corporate mind.

Spectra's going solid, nice packaging and all. I can't wait to get my second reels back, maybe tomorrow. I wish it were as easy to get 100D... compared to Velvia, it's a little lower contrast, maybe a little less saturated, or the same.. maybe a tiny bit grainier or the same. Both are pretty awsome none the less. I think the 64T will look pretty tight this summer too, now that the sun is back. The first E-6 summer.

[Angus]

A small company produces what we have all been asking for, and recieves so many orders they can't keep up.

I cannot believe people are complaining about this! In 2006 a new cine film proves so popular that the company responsible cannot keep up with orders...yes I know it is a little frustrating but come on people, rejoice that the demand for CineVia exists at all!

[Shion]

Well, I can't feel all that happy about it. It is my understanding that Fuji has dumped the 50 asa stock so once this stock is gone it's gone for good.

Isn't there still a 100asa version? Couldn't GK/Spectra/etc. switch to that once the 50asa stuff runs out?

Bon

[Angus]

I am sure they will, though whether it will be worth having two 100D stocks (with the Kodak already being offered by Wittner) is debatable.

We are assured there's two years supply of Velvia 50 available...so lap it up for a couple of years.

Hello.
Iam writing in Name of Mr. Klose from GK Film. After the introducion of the material he has so many orders, that he has same delays in answering all the mails and orders, specially he dont speak english very well. But some other part of his problems are, that a great part of his first batch of cartridges are destroyed during transportation. So he has some problems to get a replacemt batch in time. Iam sure , that you will understand his situation.
Be sure, that everything will goes well in 2-3 weeks.
Kindly regards
Ludwig Draser
