Thanks Tim, I assume when people are saying they are in, that they went to the link and filled out the form? Since I'm working with this special order company, they need to be notified directly, I'm not keeping count personally.

stone can you find out from mr canham if he can find out from kodak what base the emulsion will be coated to ?
( 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 ) ...

Long and detailed discussion about the film on the KB canham FB page, they have decided this base is in fact thicker then most 35mm films out there, but technical details are all there.

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

And I'm also currently testing out TMY-2 to see if I like it has both a secondary 400 speed, and 800 speed, and also for a long night exposures as a possible replacement for Fuji being that Fuji seems to keep shutting down all of their films. 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

For someone with such a large "regular" film purchase habit, 100 sheets shouldent mean much either...

wow, this is awesome stone. i love this film on 35mm. even i want to get one i still have plus x, fp4+ and arista edu in our freezer in iran. double xx on 120 would be awesome for sure!!!

Does anyone know if this film has a remjet backing or not?

4 boxes will be 200 sheets but yea, it will go fast lol

No rem-jet, one of the only movie films that does not have rem-jet, which is why it's become so popular in certain circles for 35mm shooters

120 would be unrealistic because of the backing paper issues they would have to have cod and grab backing paper etc. and I think that would cost too many problems I think 4 x 5 is a better bet, +4 x 5 users are used to ordering larger priced special orders and wouldn't complain as much as 120 users when it comes to price

I never thought of that. This would be cool for sure. I hope it will be available on 8x10 in the future. I have enough 4x5 film to use so i have to save up for real 8x10 film soon.

Goodluck Stone!
