Current film availability - a review

[duff photographer]

Thanks for the corrections and additions.

I have attached the first revised version (Nov11-1) of the Excel spreadsheet. This to replace the original. I haven't bothered to show what the exact revisions/additions were at this early stage as it'll be too much hassle; best to compare spreadsheets if one is so inclined. However, I have included data on Wephoto, added a few more areas where film is available, and added a few more Rollei films which I overlooked. I've also included the country of the film manufacturer.

It's still a work in progress and and some point I may well change the style of the presentation to make it easier to follow. I will also add ISO number at some point as it's not always clear from the film name what it is.

I'll leave the next revision until the end of this month (November 2011).

Cheers,
Steve.

Wephota with an A. I don't know who coats it; is attributing it to Foma or Fotokemika more than just speculation? It comes in ORWO packaging.

Thanks edp. Just managed to re-edit the post in time to correct the error. I have also removed the blurb as it's unlikely to be relevant anyway.

Cheers,
Steve.

Orwo (ORiginal WOlfen; Wolfen is a german village) has its own factory and it's made by Filmotec GmbH.

Rollei RPX is Kentmere Film. If you want 35mm film, buy Kentmere; if you want rolls in 120 format, buy Rollei RPX. And you can buy it in all europe.

I'm guessing that 'Tmax 320' is a typo for T-Max P3200 (an EI 3200 film - not ISO 3200, hence the 'P'). To the best of my knowledge it has never been available in anything other than 35 mm.

Thanks Domingo. I know of Orwo but as far as I'm aware after looking at their website a while back they don't do anything larger than 35mm but I stand to be corrected.

Helen. Yup, a typo and a brain slip all at the same time. TMax 3200 was not available in 120 or larger (at least not any more) so I've removed it from the spreadsheet. Thanks.

Steve.

So, why can't I open this file??

Perhaps you have a Mac? It is a .xls (MS Excel spreadsheet), which will translate with macLink Plus if opened in AppleWorks.

Thanks for posting. However, looking down the equine oral cavity, I found the format a bit unfriendly. Perhaps the info could be restructured as a universally readable PDF file or a web page on your site?

FYI – I posted a not nearly as extensive article (Film) some time ago on monochrome films of all formats I have personal experience with, including brief comments and examples where possible.

If you have Numbers (part of the iWork office suite) on the Mac, it opens fine.
