Default New Freestyle Premium film ID?


wrote in message
...
Has anyone tried this yet? There has been conjecture that
it is
Tri-X, re-spooled by Freestyle. I'm about due for some
freezer
filling on a group bulk order and was hoping to confirm
the
information.


I can't figure out which film this is, can you post a
more definite description. Freestyle does have a feature
sale on Arista II 35mm film but its certainly not Kodak
beause its made in Germany. The only Arista Premium film I
found on their on-line catalogue is ISO-100. What size is
this, I searched only 35mm film.
Kodak policy forever has been not to sell products for
rebranding although they have made custom emulsions for some
manufacturers including Polaroid and the late, lamented
Defender but have not sold in bulk as have AGFA, Ilford and
some others.
If the data sheet is available it will give you a
pretty definite answer.
