Kodak Film - never heard of this one before

[Wolfeye]

Came across this yesterday. Is Kodak rebranding their 100 speed film as a professional type?

Apparently it goes back to 1997. I don’t think this is a current product.

I bought this film in Tajikistan (just north of Afghanistan) in 2007. Maybe they are selling the same film in US under another name.

Counterfeit? I'd suspect it in Tajikistan; less so in Iowa, but it is possible. What is its provenance?

[Erik Petersson]

You mean from Chinese film factories? The film felt and looked like Kodak, and so did the pictures.

What about relabeled motion picture film?

Are the sprocket holes shaped different?

[Erik Petersson]

no, not different.

The shop (University Camera in Iowa City, IA) had several unboxed rolls, and also a boxed 5-pack. I looked at the 5-pack and saw the expiration date was sometime in 2012, so these are recent rolls.

I discussed my find in this thread:

Seems to be Gold 100. Bought a few rolls in Pacific Mall--a large Chinese shopping complex--in Toronto late last year. Prints like Gold 100.
