Hi all ,

Returning after a 3 year hiatus . I'm slowly building up a 503CW film
camera hoping to also use it as a digital medium format camera.

Is the film still being made ? Who makes it ?


What Hart said. I like both Kodak and Fuji color negatives and slide
films. I'm not a B&W fan - but do shoot it on occasion.

Biggest obstacle at present is getting 120 E-6/C-41 processed. I'm
considering setting up my own chemicals at home, at least for E-6.


I don't shoot much E6, but for C41, I use Trebla chemicals from C-PAC. They
have a C41 developer that is packaged for 5Liters, but it also gives
instructions for mixing 1Liter at a time. A couple 10cc (10mL) syringes are
helpful for measuring. Once the developer is mixed, it has a life of a
couple weeks if kept from air exposure.
The Bleach, Fixer, and Stabilizer lifetimes are several months. I use the
Bleach as a replenished chem; the rest I use one-shot. Cost to develope a
roll of 120 is about a dollar.
