Which replacement are you using? Adox CMS 20 or the new Rollei ATP 1.1?
The original Gigabit was definitely Copex from Mortsel packed with a Spur Nanospeed developer
Not saying you should go back to film, but are you aware of the quick loading Hewes metal spiral?
My Uncle celebrated his 40th Wedding anniversary by flying his wife off for a city break.Good think with digital is that memory cards never fail and accidental deletion never happens
We should be so lucky...
Lutti , you are a spineless little coward
Six years overdue?
You obviously don't read this forum! 10 years ago they were saying film had only a few years left...
Wrong, it's held up an in some areas increased!
Not at all, most predicted the demise of film years ago, this has not been the case..
Gee . . .Good think with digital is that memory cards never fail and accidental deletion never happens
We should be so lucky...
Yeah, yeah . . . same old song and dance!
Bluefire. Which is, unfortunately, the one you don't have data on. No one seems to know where that stuff comes from.
And they feud about it in public, too.
Lucky you. All I have is eight rolls of tech pan in the freezer.
I think it is Copex Rapid, Bluefire isn't common here in Europe, although on their site the say surveillance film, which could make it similar to some of the films used by the German military made in Wolfen, so either way it is ex-Agfa
Would you like some or any European film hard to get in your area you could contact me though my blog Photo Utopia, I can't give my e-mail address out here because I fear a repeat nasty incident.
[interesting discussion about cine films and low speed B&W films deleted for brevity]
He provided information that cleared up a misunderstanding. Where is the cowardice in that?
Dave and I patched up our differences quite some time ago. I think our conflict came (and I'm sure he'll chime in if his opinion on this differs) because we are too much alike, both fairly opinionated (to put it bluntly) and rather forceful in support of our own beliefs. Sometimes, too much so for our own good.
Did you know that you, ludwig100, and Joe Lavee all frequently use the word "prove" when you should be saying "proof", as in "no prove", "a prove", and "the prove"? And that's just one of over 40 linguistic features (a verbal fingerprint, as it were) that you all share in your writing...
Divide and conquer? Not working today, I think.
I guess he doesn't have access to our emails ;-)
You hit the nail on the head Joseph!
Ya, this is something many of us have noticed.
Right on that account as well.
You can't be serious. in 1998 it was predicted on photo.net that film would be dead in 5 years (2003). Then when Canon released the D30 in 2000 it was predicted that film would be dead in 5 years (2005). Then when Canon released the D60 in 2002 (2007) film was called dead. Yes in the 'industry' of news paper and webzine photography, film has been replaced. But I have, in my city (Minneapolis, MN) which is considered a small town by many in other bigger cities, at least 6 pro labs that still sell film (in all sizes), darkroom supplies, and offer dip and dunk developing services with no signs of stopping or even reducing them.
Again, that's a film technology developed 7 years ago for Kodak cine films. It didn't migrate to still film until Kodak noticed that the cine film industry is headed for collapse.
Hmmm...
I agree (that's unusual when talking to you) with most of that. Except for the part about reliable, repeatable color capture.
I may take you up on that offer, once I manage to clear the backlog around here. Between rebuilding the darkroom (someone tell me again why I felt it was necessary to upgrade it to handling an E size 34x44 inch platinum or gum print) and trying to launch the monochrome DSLR business, I've got very little play time right now.I think it is Copex Rapid, Bluefire isn't common here in Europe, although on their site the say surveillance film, which could make it similar to some of the films used by the German military made in Wolfen, so either way it is ex-Agfa
They are difficult to tell apart because the all come on a PET clear base Copex (aka Gigabit) looks like this:

Joseph, if you get info together for the monocrhome DSLR....I'd love to hear about. It's something I've wanted for a LONG time!!I may take you up on that offer, once I manage to clear the backlog around here.
