New patch Shanghai 120 roll films~

In past years, Chinese black and white 120 roll film was notorious for using "firecracker paper" as backing that allowed the ink of the frame numbers to transfer to the film. When the film was developed, those numbers often ended up being visible.

Have those problems with the frame numbers been solved?

Don't know it yet.
But the problem you mentioned was caused by the paper supplier. The supplier had changed the printing method. Then the backing problem would be appeared sometimes if the rolls had not saved in a dry condition.

Tim, I don't know who sells the films on eBay.
Their prices are more expensive than I found in China.

Do you know any film shops in China that will sell overseas? Prices on ebay are significantly more that buying Foma in the US, and comparable to Ilford, but prices on Taobao are cheaper. I would prefer to use the Shanghai over Foma, but cannot justify the extra expense. Buying from Taobao outside China is difficult and expensive.

Order it from pierre.

He doesn't sell 4x5 or 8x10, which are both available on ebay, but at inflated prices compared t the old prices (before they moved the factory), and compared to the prices in China. Pierre organizes a yearly cutting of special sizes (5x7, ULF, etc.) by Shanghai as a favor to the community (I think he would rather be shooting).

Yes, I use 8x20 and 12x20 mostly.
And I am using 5x7 recently and push the films to ISO 400 because I modified Graflex Auto 5x7 works better now.
I could help you to get 4x5 and 8x10.
