Here is their web page. http://www.luckyfilm.com/eng/products_1_3.html There is another company called Tasma that I think may have stopped making 16mm. Svema may still be making 16mm. Henry.

Nate Downes Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Agfa still makes 16mm film but only color print film and sound recording negative. Um, Agfa went out of business last year IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Charles MacDonald Posted September 28, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted September 28, 2006 Um, Agfa went out of business last year IIRC. That was "agfa Photo" http://agfaphoto.com/en-GB/index.html although part of that business was sold to a firm in the computer mantance line of work. http://www.ao-services.de/ao_web/index.php?lang=en AGFA-Gevert is still arround, but they no longer sell consumer photo products.. http://www.agfa.com/en/co/index.jsp http://www.agfa.com/en/sp/solutions/cine/a...tcp30/index.jsp hard to tell the players without a scorecard.

David Venhaus Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 According to Ilford they still have 16mm film for sell but only P3 and P4 surveillance. It has negative pitch perf. and can be used as mp stock. I have used some with good results. They say they are no longer in production of it though.

Richardson Leao Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 I could not find 16mm negs for luckyfilm but they do positives. I still did not get any reply from the russian tasma. Just another info, foma can be bought in the US from www.jandcphoto.com (~25USD for 100ft daylight spools) Orwo can be bought in Europe from www.dacan.dk or www.wittner-kinotechnik.de (~70E for 400ft) According to Ilford they still have 16mm film for sell but only P3 and P4 surveillance.

Its name is "Filmotec" and it´s situated in the old ORWO plant (and pre-war AGFA-plant) in Wolffen near Bitterfeld (former East Germany) Just go for the Filmotec homepage ("Google" knows where to find it). It is published in both German and English language. You can contact also directly (or an the homepage) the marketing leader, Mr. Frank Boehme boehme@filmotec.de , and order directy the films you want to buy. The Filmotec ORWO films are great negative stock! Some people say it´s the best BW-stock availible. There´s ORWO UN 54 (100 ASA) and ORWO N 74 (400ASA D / 250 ASA T). Both are low grain films with great results. Both available in 16mm and 35mm. Great News: Its not only better than all the other BW-stuff on the market, it´s also cheaper than most of it!

Something about less time in the bleach... it would make it harder to get processed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only can say that it is possible to developp it as Negative or directly as Positive (Reversal).

Perhapes you get more information on the Filmotec site: www.filmotec.de I have developed old ORWO negatives (NP7) using the old TRI-X processing. It is very similar. The 400ISO require longer 1st developer times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Case Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 WHatever film stock you get, it's a good idea (no, it's a GREAT idea) to check with your lab that they can process it. That's BEFORE you buy the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Appelt Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Not sure whether this counts as an entry on your manufacturer list: Cinevia Color Reversal film, actually Fuji Velvia Professional 50D perforated to 16mm and 8mm formats. The 16mm, Super8 and Single8 stock It is available from GK-Film, a small German company: GK-Film contact page The whole story in English (from The Super8 Reversal Lab, NL): About Cinevia (from Super8 Reversal Lab, Netherlands) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Pytlak RIP Posted October 27, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted October 27, 2006 I agree with Dominic --- be sure the film you buy can be processed by your lab. Some "off brand" old films may not be designed for the higher temperature modern processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
