DNP Photo Marketing Launches “CENTURIA Film” Series of Color Negative Film

[wogster]

Kodak was restrained by a US law from rebranding film until just recently. That law was changed so that Kodak can now rebrand film. I am unable to get any information about whether this takes place, but since Kodak is the only US manufacturer, I assume it must be Kodak.

All Kodak film is slit and packed in Mexico, but it is all made in the US in Rochester.

I wonder if DNP is just buying master rolls, and doing the slitting and packaging in Japan. Would give them more format flexibility as they move on, depending on the Asian market.

I think that packaging is done by Kodak.
This is because that the packaging box, plastic canister, the metal magazine is EXACTLY as same as the curent Kodak 135 films.
Oh, the emulsion side of this film is pinkish --- just like the T-MAX films, which I bet it is some spectral??? sensitizing dye commonly seen in Kodak films.
The results that I get from this film are just like the one that I expect from Kodak films.
I don't think it is Fuji nor Ferrania.
I have seen somebody saying it may be Ferrania, if so, Technology level, Ferrania = Kodak now.
I think Konica still may coat industrial films(B&W X-Ray etc), but for color I dont think so.
Do I buy DNP film often?
No, because if you by Kodak's 5 roll pack, the Kodak one is usually cheaper per roll than DNP's one (approx. 1.5 USD per 1 roll of 24 exp. 135 Kodak 400 gold film) in Japan.

The private label films for a German drugstore chain (similar to Walgreen's) are manufactured and packaged by Kodak, among them Kodak Elite Chrome 100 for about half the price of the Kodak yellow/blue box. But Fuji does the same (with print film only), for competing German drugstore chains, where you get the most recent film types for a fraction of the original Superias' price.

The slide film is a real bargain.

Unless Konica-Minolta, Ferrania etc have set up film manufacturing in the USA (surely very unlikely) they can be ruled out as the makers of this film.

It would be useful to see the edge markings on the negatives. That way we would be able to tell just what sort of Kodak film this is.

Sorry guys I have a very short attention span.
