At least Instax is a unique name, whereas 800T is just an ISO and color balance 😕
Wonder what they would do if Kodak decided make their Vision 800T film into photography film stock and sold it direct 🤔
@andyemmett9930 it is rumoured that's that what they already doing for cinestill. Particularly as cinestill has been claiming they do no remove remjet. And selling remjet free film.
@@andyemmett9930they’d cry and go out of business. Unless their overpriced film developing gear is somehow enough to keep them running
I shot weddings for 10 years on my Bronica SQ-A kit and the 220 rolls were essential for those kinds of events. I had two 220 backs and only one 120 insert as I almost never used 120. Everything was available in 220! I miss Fuji Reala and the Portra emulsions, NC - ‘natural color’ and VC - ‘vivid color’, both of which were in my mind, superior to the current Portra line. Perhaps because I wasn’t digitizing anything then and the excellent wet lab I was using (Photic in San Diego, CA, now defunct) was awesome and always made beautiful proofs and final prints from my negs. Good times!
Awesome! Thanks for always keeping us updated
Man as someone who likes to shoot medium format this is a lot of great news!
Thanks Nico!
Congratulations on reaching the goal!
Hi Nico! I've been using the Bellini HC ever since I hear the rumours of HC-110 being discontinued. It's less syrupy than the Kodak's version so I'm not sure if you can store it for a long time but I'm getting excellent results both in the standard 1+31 and the 1+63 dilution. The negatives come very similar compared to HC-110, with maybe a bit more shadow detail but they are still easy to print. Cheers!
Me too - I've been using their HC formulation, and their C-41 kit.
Both have given perfect results, at reasonable costs.
Thank you Nico!
Thanks Nico for these news especially, Filmomat sw was what can help me scanning when I do not want Negative Lab Pro, because I am on Capture One Pro.
About the lomo rolls, when you order them you can actually choose if you want an ever cheaper roll by spending even less than the discounted price or get a normal expiration roll and pay the declared price on Instagram and the other socials
I would like a seperate video of the whole cinestill issue. I'm very curious to see what you think is wrong about it.
Lots of what I would love to say is behind NDAs but will try my best to explain my view.
@@NicosPhotographyShow Wait, how are you in contract with cinestill? Arent they just a sponsor?
Yeah, they are only a sponsor. But a lot of industry info I get I can share as it would break relationships. Not speaking from this one event, but in general.
@@NicosPhotographyShow Oh that makes sense. I thought you literally had signed NDA with cinestill which sounded really odd.
The mustache, just like 220 is back baby!
Im here for the 220 but staying for Nico lol. Good news, hopefully that 220 wont be the price per Roll.
You can already get Aerocolor in Sheet film format in mainland China. Reflx is not the first one doing it.
Thats awesome to hear, do you have a link?
@@NicosPhotographyShow Well it seems like I cannot post a external link right here. I DMed you on Instagram hope that will work out
Reflex 220 film is repackaged Kodak Aerocolor. It lacks conventional masking (the orange background) of conventional color negative film. Therefore, it should scan okay with some scanner adjustments, but without masking, it's a poor negative material for RA-4 printing, as the accuracy of the color reproduction should be quite off.
Makes it more suitable to process as transparency for the experimentally minded.
I’ve had nice results from Bellini euro HC, however I do not know what the shelf life is like
Ilfotech HC is in stock at Ilford photo at the moment.
Sadly none in Europe.
@@NicosPhotographyShow sadly we are no longer in Europe 😭
Sadly, I wish I could order directly.
New 220?! Awesome!
I use to love Portra 400VC and NC in 220. I remember buying hundreds of rolls.
@@NicosPhotographyShowIt was a great time to be buying film back before 2010. Lots of professionals unloading huge stashes of 220.
Appreciate the news as always!
Re:cinestill, I appreciated peta pixels most recent podcast re: cinestill. They brought up relevant and public information (Requirement to enforce, etc), and commented on the public backlash, and hope their article had strong opposition. Interesting perspective.
Whether a trademark should have been granted in the first place, is of course a different conversation.
Purchased Lomography Color Negative 100, 400 & 800 + the B&W 400, one pack of each in 120 medium format.
All except 400 have expiry date in September 2024 and the 400 expires in January 2025! I wouldn't call any of that soon or almost expired.
One of these is not like the others... Guess which? 100T, 125T, 200T, 250T, 320T, 400T, 500T, 800T 😅😅 lol. That aside, 220 will be cool. If only my pentax 6x7 still had its film type selector switch.
Hint... you could be forgiven for assuming they were all descriptive of an ISO and Color balance on cinema film....
It seems like CineStill is being disingenuous but truthful. "We didn't sue anyone" is different from "we didn't threaten legal action". "We have legal rights to the copyright of 800T" is the answer to a different question than "should it be copyrightable?" Legality and morality are not the same thing.
Exactly. Everything they are doing is “legal”, but beyond morally wrong, and any defense they provide is uprooted by their initial push to call 400D “400Dynamic” but implying the D , or the trialing letter ISN’T a reference to white balance.
Regardless of whether they have the right to defend a trademark is a total distraction from the fact that they should never have even applied for it.
Additionally, calling over vendors of quite literally identical film in the most literal and technical way names like “counterfeit” is a bold faced lie, and the root of why people are boycotting cinestill.
Their behavior is nauseating, unacceptable, and intolerable. No one cares about “their legal rights”.
Your morals are just that, your morals, and morality and the law aren't the same thing. Some people think forcing underage children to carry rape babies to term is morally correct - companies operate in legal frameworks not moral ones because moral ones are different for different people. Which is why it has to be settled by what's legal. And IP is everything in this day and age and protecting it is what companies must do to survive, it's what all the other corporations do whose products I'm sure you love and use daily. So expecting a small film manufacturer to abide by your particular morals seems utterly ridiculous. What is immoral to me is to punish a small company by slating them online because they don't specifically abide by your morals, especially when their actions have little consequence to others except getting them to change their name and follow laws everyone has to.
@@rossawilson01 I wasn’t aware repackaging someone else’s product, using their naming convention, and then pulling the ladder up behind them is equivalent to forcing woman to have birth, but thanks for that insight?
I think the biggest one it TMAX RS, since that's what so many labs use. It is definitely showing as discontinued now. I emailed my lab to ask what they're going to do, and they haven't responded yet. I think the only other option is really Ilford DD.
And there I was thinking the Harman "coming soon" was 220 film. Still you never know...
yes, Nico, the harman technologies\ilford branding is confusing; from my understanding, looking at the products, etc. the Harman brand is for the Hardware, aka the stirring sticks, tents, beakers, pinhole cameras,etc. Ilford does the paper, film stock & chemistry kits, but is just a division of Harman, just like Rolls Royce, one sector for cars, the other for jets, or mitsubishi for cars and white goods and electrical breakers, HV systems, etc. just as a way of separating what each does, so the public can ring the division directly, no massive switchboard to confuse people, get to the right place for inquiries fast.
Frankinstax is making a play on words with Frankenstein and Instax as in "frankensteining" a part/object and assembling with something else like the monster Frankestein. 🙂
our local Marfa Film Shop anounces plans to move and sell store. i will add my recent visit to pick up loaned 4x5 speed graflex.
Legacy Pro HC is also a HC110 replacement.... and also Cinestill gets no more of my money until they deliver the 4x5 I ordered.
I love this series and hope to continue seeing more. However, what is the value in having a brief segment on the Cinestill statement without reading it or offering an editorial? It offers very little value in terms of I formation and is effectively the same thing as CZcams sending me a bell alert that you posted a video. First, I don’t use that feature because I’d prefer to seek out my content and second, it offers little insight beyond the title of the video.
Some dislike that I add any more, some want more. I try and send people in the direction of newsworthy events, products, etc. i rather do one piece per news as a new video as I like to talk more and the news would be an hour if I did more about it. Cinestills statement is quite long and is worth reading, but maybe not on a video. But I appreciate your feedback.
@@NicosPhotographyShow I would genuinely appreciate learning more about this particular issue because I recognize the fact that legal matters are nuanced. I perceive you as reputable so learning what your perspectives are on this matter would be a great benefit to those of us who are not legal experts or consumer advocates. Great work!
@@CrispyFrenFryFrankly there isn't much to know. soon as still confirmed that they were granted a trademark on the term 800T. The trademark is garbage and should not have been granted. They can no more trademark 800T then Shell gasoline could trademark 10W-30, or Ford could trademark V8, or Duracell could trademark AA. These technical descriptions are not available for trademark, and the government made a mistake. If cinestil is challenged by anyone in court, they will immediately lose the trademark on 800T. The courtwood, however, affirm the trademark on the name "Cinestill".
There's not much more to tell. when cat Labs responded with their lawyer, they stated as much, and said if they are sued, they would fight it in court and get the trademark revoked. That is almost certainly why Cinestill chose not to file suit. However, The small mom and pop film companies don't have the capability to fight back with lawyers and so they have been shut down on eBay and experienced dramatic harm from Cinestill's trademark abuse.
Yea, I have all kinds of 220 backs for my Mamiya RX67II, Mamiya Universal, and Koni-Omegas. Now all we need is pull a part instant film to be reintroduced. Someone is going to make it. Maybe Fuji again.
It's never going to happen. ONE INSTANT can barely get anything going, and that crap is like $30 a shot.
@@robertworkman7135 One Instant is proof of concept. It can be done. Now it would take someone with the capital to take it further. There are millions of professional and amateur camera that take the film. Someone is still making 8 x 10 pull apart film. Instax is creating a whole new demand of instant. I can hope the day will come when someone sees that there is money to be made. I'm not giving away my pull apart film backs and cameras.
The Cinestill apology makes their situation worse... the audacity to even think they are doing something new.... cringe
I’m shouting “Frank In Stax” at my phone rn 😂
Are Cinestill one of your sponsor via Analogus Spotlight? Might that affect your view on Cinestill's actions?
Yes, sponsored by them. I dont take sides, not theirs, not anyones. But that is hard to understand when money changes hands, I get it. But for that I have my Opinion series where I express a personal take on industry, products and such. The sponsorship of the news never ever came with them making my views be censored or altered, and some might do it on their own will, but I dont believe being sponsored means you cant say something, thats why I try not to keep any news out.
Legendary status Nico.
What the hell? HC110 is gone??? Always thought I could rely on developing BW with hc110 even when all color negative films got discontinued :(
Let's hope that it is not gone permanently. I mean, Agfa Rodinal also came back so let's hope
Hmm...time to run and buy up some Hasselblad 220 film backs while they're still cheap....hehe.
Chroma may look interesting in their products but the fulfillment and delivery of orders is a nightmare. Mi first chroma purchase took almost a year for me to be able to use and my second purchase hasnt arrived after over a year. He is still delaying the refund. There will not be a third purchase from me
what a bossss!
10:39 I can confirm that both of the boxes of 800 I just bought are short dated, set to expire in 12/2023. Would have been nice to know Lomography 😞 I did also get a box of redscale and that is not short dated and is set to expire in 03/2025
Just put them in a ziplock bag and in the fridge. They'll be fine for years past their date. I'm more worried they'll stop making Lomo 800, its my favourite film :( I was buying boxes at a time, but now my normal supplier has had none for months (I probably brought it all eh?
@@SiggyPony I get that and I am storing it in the fridge as well, just a little shady or strange when the other film I bought is yet to expire for 2+ years. When you go to a grocery store and something has a day or 2 left its normally in the back in the clearance isle not sold with the normal goods.
@@andydreadsbmx indeed :( I hope Lomography continues to make new 120 film. The expirey thing is worrying, their films currently are the main ones I use. Well that and the Aerocolor IV stuff from Catlabs haha 😅.
@@SiggyPony I reached out to Lomo about the issue and they said that the short expiration was a mistake on their end and that everything should have been 2024(meaning they didn't realize there was 2023 expiration stuff still in the warehouse). They are also said they were going to look into it.
Get those $100 a24 backs before they too end up being 400 bucks
So the secret product from Harmon is the new Harmon 800-T in 220. Oh, wait, now I'm going to get sued.
Is the black card ironic and it’s actually colour film 😂
You need to eject cinestill as a sponsor!
I love 220 rolls of film, but seriously? $25 for one roll!? Good luck with that..
Sadly 220 film wont be cheaper than 2x 120.
@@NicosPhotographyShow yeah, my long history with film just keeps me shooting only expired film because in my day film was only $2 or $3 per roll.. regardless of format.
@@flyingoI can’t remember the last time I bought new film
