Nooman Naqvi Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I recently learned that Agfa also makes 35mm motion film, which they sell in 2000, 4012 & 6036 ft. Question is, has anyone used it? Is it good? http://www.agfa.com/en/sp/products_service...aprint_cp30.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Downes Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) agfa went under 2 years ago... so I'm quite puzzled by this. Following the link, that's print film, not movie film. It's what the final print to the theatre is made on. Not suited for MP work. Edited June 11, 2007 by Nate Downes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Titchen Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yes it has a good reputation. The film you mentioned is print stock not negative. Agfa still sell this and also soundtrack negative film. Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Downes Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I still wonder if any of the new film co's that have popped up int he past few years are going to try motion picture stocks. (Lucky, NHK, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Downes Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Dai Nippon, not NHK. Got companies mixed up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Charles MacDonald Posted June 12, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2007 agfa went under 2 years ago... so I'm quite puzzled by this.Following the link, that's print film, not movie film. It's what the final print to the theatre is made on. Not suited for MP work. AgfaPhoto went under, not Agfa Gevaert. The product si a colour print film, used to make theatrical prints, and is suposed to be popular in europe. The Negative films were dropped a few years back. As someone else mentioned, they do suposidly still sell sound recording film. All the stock they make these days is on polyester base. There still are folks who are packing some of the still picture stock that AgfaPhoto had when the closed. Suposidly one firm is working on copying the B&W paper that AgfaPhoto used to make. Every now an then you hear of some film for prints made in asia (india, China) and not sold outside the area. the negative film is so high tech, and is used in such small quanities compared to the print film, that I doubt it would be viable for a start up.

Henri Titchen Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Agfa soundtrack film is still available in Europe. Both panchromatic and ortho 35mm. The Colour release print film is sold widely as well. Regarding Asian film producers... Lucky film makes 35mm B&W film called LUCKYPAN. I'm not sure about ENC2 film. http://www.luckyfilm.com/eng/products_2_1.html Lucky also sell a print film ECP-2 process http://www.luckyfilm.com/eng/products_1_3.html Wikipedia states that "Eastman Kodak and China Lucky Film signed a 20 year co-operation agreement" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Lucky_Film Henry.

Right now, ALL Kodak professional motion-picture films are manufactured in the United States, and all are sensitized on Rochester's most state-of-the-art machines. Some still film products may be sourced out of China. Kodak continues to invest millions of R&D dollars per year in new and improved motion picture (Entertainment Imaging) FILM products.

Nate Downes Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 And Kodak still makes some of the best film... They really need to let people know. Every week I get people in the store that go "didn't they stop making film?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
