The Phoblographer gives a favourable review of the Atlanta Film Company 250D film. The film is respooled cinema ISO 250 daylight balanced colour film. If you like to shoot colour and find colour film just a bit pricey, maybe the AFC cinema films are for you!
The caveat is that the film is process ECN-2 and has remjet on it. It is not possible to send it to a lab that processes C41 or E6, since the remjet will ruin the chemistry at such a lab. AFC will process and scan the film for you, for a fee. The Phoblographer does not disclose the processing fee, but the Atlanta Film Company website lists $9.99 for ECN-2 processing at time of writing. Film, if it were available, was listed at $9.99 by The Phoblographer site.
Read the review and see if this film is for you! When supply returns, grab at roll at the Atlanta Film Company.
PetaPixel writes about Kodak's recent designation by the American Chemical Society as a National Historic Chemical Landmark. The ACS is a pillar organization for chemists and chemistry around the world.
ACS President Angela Wilson said that the award “honors George Eastman, Eastman Kodak, and the many generations of Kodak chemists, scientists, and engineers who made photography an everyday part of our lives before the advent of smartphones and digital cameras.”
Kodak continues to supply film and chemistry for photographers to this day. The company has invested millions in protecting the environment and produces materials within the environmental regulations of today.
