Bergger releasing new film soon

[Tim V]

I see via Bergger's Instagram feed that they are about to release a new film, by the sounds of it a re-release of a past formulation.

From their Instagram:

"We are very proud to tell you a little bit of a secret ... For months, we have been working on a new product ... New product ? Well, to be honnest, not completely new... We have in our cookbook, a recipe of a very special film that we are pretty sure you'll love ... Stay tuned, we will tell you more very soon

I wonder what this film formulation could be, but maybe Fortepan 100 or 200? Any ideas?

I still have a partial box of BPF200 that I bought back in 2005. Not sure what I am saving it for , but it was a nice emulsion and was often recommended to be developed in Pyrocat HD. I am not thrilled with the Panchro 400 produced lately and a 200 speed film isn't going to replace FP4+ for me. Now if they come out with a very slow film ISO25 that might turn some heads.

If that’s all that they are saying why would anyone here know any more?

Why would anyone who doesn't know any more hesitate to post something anyway?

Thanks for your insightful input, Bob.

I think I know as I have been in contact with them .. I suspect it is a film that is sensitive to laser exposure ... I would use this in my Lambda to make film for Alternative Printers.

Aren't Lambdas very rare?

If Laser sensitive, perhaps the new film is a sign of new Laser printers...

There are over 300 Lambdas on service contracts world wide... if I am correct very few other than me will go down this road , but I suspect the film has other applications if indeed I am correct.

Perhaps archival data, such as banking, name rank and serial #, land Deeds

Maybe Libre coin...

We are always one EMP away from the cave life.

THAT would be awesome - if it was at a price reasonable enough for single users to buy. Imagine the proliferation of hybrid processes - but in the reverse direction to what we think of now.

Probably a pipe-dream.
