I sent an order some weeks ago to GK- Film, and have not heard from them since, does anyone know what is happening.?

Last I heard from them their Cinevia 50 had proved much more popular than they expected and they were working hard to fulfil orders.

Remember they are a *very* small company which has suddenly hit on an idea that is selling much more than anything they've ever produced before.

Despite being behind and not answering email he (GK) apparently has still some spare time to start production of another type of film:

Cinevia 64T available
The second product in the Cinevia series is now available. It is ISO 64T Tungsten film.

Price:
Including processing Ã¢â€šÂ¬ 23.70 [each, excl V.A.T.]

The first series comes without a nice package, but it's fore sure a good product anyway The processing is done by our friends Andec Berlin. Be carefull that not all camera's can read 64ISO films,

I ordered 2 carts on 1 May and never got them so I got a refund from PayPal. I guess they were still taking orders after selling all the film.

You might try http://www.super8.nl Frank is involved with GK repairs and such and is also a reseller. Maybe he is more communicative.

On their website, GK Film state that the customer demand for Velvia50D is so high that each order takes 14 days. Frank has run out of his avalaible units as well.

Is Spectra in LA buying their Velvia 50D carts from GK or making them themselves?
