Hello,
I was sold these two boxes today, 11 x 14 Fuji 64T Transparency Film.
They are dated 1990, unsure if they have been frozen/fridge stored or not.
I imagine that 11x14 film was always quite rare, even more so as Tungsten? Just wondering if anyone could give me more info on the availability of colour film at these sizes back in the 80s/90 even up to recently. Where they always specialist order or did it live side by side with 10x8/5x4 quite happily?
all the best,
John
I had some 11x14" Kodak color transparency film of similar vintage at one time, purchased cheaply from another photographer's freezer. It was tending toward magenta in an uneven way, better in the center than at the edges. It improved by doubling the exposure and reducing development time by one stop, but the results were lower in contrast, as one would expect with a one-stop pull.
11x14" color was commonly used for furniture studios at one time, so I suspect there may have been some demand for it.
If frozen, it could be fine. I've used velvia that old recently and it was spot on. If it wasn't cold stored, it'll likely be funky. Just a couple years ago badger graphic did a special order of some 11x14 provia and the prices weren't too bad. That won't happen now.
hi John
where did you find that in london ?
and do you know anybody who can developed 11x14 E6

That's really interesting to know that it would have been used for furniture, I'm actually planning an 11x14 shoot for a large installation of 19th century furniture - originally in black and white but this find gives me much more scope, also as I'll likely be cross processing most of it.
Would it have been used for furniture in order to capture allot of detail on larger objects?
Shame I came to photography just a bit too late for this Provia order! Doubt I'll find any now second hand. How much were these Provia boxes originally? (10 sheets I presume)
Hi robin,
I'm hoping Artful Dodgers may be able to help me with it as E6 or C-41 (I also have some 10x10 colour inter-neg film I'd need the same treatment for) failing that I'll set up a Jobo system at the RCA to do it.
I got it from a seller visiting London, I also got some 10x8 RDP/Ektachrome 64 as well but this was a surprise. Originally I was only supposed to be being getting some spare parts for the WT-102 I'm aiming to get operational.
I'd be eager to try it out on daylight landscapes + 85b filter.
Not sure where I'd send it for processing.
But when done, I'd probably view it on a light table in stunned silence.
Wow way a find! Congrats! I have no info except recently a member posted some 11x14 E100G images in the LF landscapes section, so there was certainly some demand that kodak and Fuji produced it., just WOW.
I have no problem developing it in Europe.
I really look forward to working with these!
Where are you getting them developed in Europe? Is this for E6 or C-41 as well?
