Fuji - film is here! (as opposed to Kodak CEO's "film is gone" statement)
If there were comment sections underneath that press release, you bet
that there would be about 219 comments flaming it, each other, and then eventually veering off to dicuss the finer points of how liberal scum can go sit on it and conservative pigs can go suck eggs. I like fuji. Currently going through a brick of Acros 100. Good stuff although more easily scratched than, let's say, hp5+ but that could just be me. |

Ilford ddx, stopbath, and fixer. Fuji's spec sheet doesn't specify
times with ddx, but I've been fudging it with pretty good results by comparing the D76 time and working out a ratio (1+5 @ 7:30, 68/20deg). Probably not the best but it works. Any suggestions? |

Do you know anything about the Pro 160 C or Pro 160 S films? I use Reala in 120 size, but it doesn't seem to be available in 4x5 sheets. Pro 160S is, at least for now. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |

Color film has silver halide in it when the shutter opens. It doesn't when it comes out of the fix. Yes. What's going on here is that the string of obscure Chinese glyphs that the Japanese painstakingly scrawl on paper or screen when they think they're talking about "conventional film" or "traditional film" looks like it means "silver halide", if you just look at the Chinese characters. What happened is that either Fuji hired an incompetent translator because their bean counters won't pay my rates, or the in-house loser who is too incompetent to do anything else and so gets shuffled over to the documentation department to check outsourced translations "fixed" a good translation to match what his dictionary told him.

Have not shot them yet, I intend to get some soon to do so, I anticipate them to be better than the previous incarnations.
