So the ERA are simmilar as Efke? Like very thin base, not holding themselfs in the developing frames. fall out time to time with agitation, so it can only developed one by one in the train.buze wrote:uraniumnitrate wrote:buze wrote:
On the other hand from China I tried the "Era" and didn't like it at all. It was very, very cheap (I have about 80 sheets left!), but the film base is a lot thinner and the sheet 'curves' a bit doing processing. It's just about good enough for lens tests !

Film from Europe
Sorry to be a bore BUT I let the holiday season pass and tried Photoimpex again. The answer is NO. They claim that contractual obligations with Nigel at Retrophotographic will not allow them to export goods to England. As for Nigel, I think that he must have died and nobody can locate the body, certainly not by phone anyway. In my urgent quest for film I contacted Mr. Cad and it really hurts to admit that the service that I recieved was second to none, but I want 400 asa film not 100 asa which is the highest speed that Mr. Cad could offer, I still bought some though!

Well it was Nigel Dear himself who said it was no problem for me to buy from Fotoimpex direct, and Mirko agreed.vanman wrote:Sorry to be a bore BUT I let the holiday season pass and tried Photoimpex again.

The common market means the EU is one open market, so if we want to buy from Berlin there is no reason why we can't.
If Nigel offered the same level of service, with items at the same prices with cheaper postage then it would make a big difference.

I have inform you guys many times that I'm going to have films from Forte. Also earlier of my own brand Europan.
Just the other day were discussions about Forte and Kentmere there I told you guys that I'm selling prepared paper for alternative processes which had been manufactured untill the final process the coating the emulsion. Nice and perfect paper 100% cotton allready sized with baryt.
I do sell 100, 200, 400, ISO 120 roll films from Forte and my own brand (Europan) also from Forte, 400 ISO 4x5" films. I don't have any 8x10 and 5x7 left as the French and the Germans brought up every single sheets. I do have some 11x14 and some 7x17 left but not much. also I have some 30x40 cm polywarmtone PW 15 with museum weight semi-matt surface
