How do you plan to process this thin roll film in sheet sizes?
I know some folks do it but will a lab want to touch it?

I don't know I do all my own so I wouldn't know if a lab would or wouldn't be able to, I thought labs used dip dunk and it wouldn't matter?Quote:

Who the heck sends out their B&W LF images to a lab anyway? (I guess someone must but I sure wouldn't). I can see sending out color sheets definitely, but B&W is so responsive to developing techniques I wouldn't want someone doing it with an unknown developer or unknown technique. Of course it depends how specific you are of course I realize.
Any tank that holds the film in slots like roll film spirals would likely be problematic due to the film working it's way loose. Save $450+ for an expert drum.
Is that the JOBO that has tube holes in it? I doubt I would spend more on the tank than I did on the processor... LolQuote:

I agree with all of Lachlan's comments above, but at the same time I am in full support of exotic special film orders, because, well, why the hell not, even of for nothing beyond the curiosity.
I have shared KB canahms post on our FB page, and have committed to a few boxes myself.
This of course, should not replace any regularly available film purchases i would normally make, after all whats another 100 sheets or so? a few days worth shooting...
Haha I love the attitude, why not, 100 sheets or so, no biggie ;) haha :)Quote:

Marc!
I'm committed to 4 boxes (heck depending on the price I might go in for 10) but that won't stop my regular purchase of Ilford FP4+, HP5+, Fuji Acros100 either:)Quote:

I won't give up on Acros100 just yet, as it's a freaking amazing film! But it's good to do research just in case and also helps out the new Kodak I think, just like spending money on even this special order helps them out ;)

( you might be able to squelch fears of problematic processing and make the 300 boxes fly a bit faster off the shelves .. )
if it is as thin as 2402 ESTAR Base 3412 ESTAR Base ( the base a lot of aero spool film was coated to ),
it is much thinner than standard sheet film and it will curl and might be a PITA for some people to process ..
you might have a handful of processing options but others might rely on one ( or maybe .. 2 ) ...
It's on grey acetate safety base...Quote:

Also just realized I reversed the ASA, it's 200 Tungsten, 250 daylight... Whoops
