In the general sense of the declining market for film, Fotokimeka's demise lead to discussion of Kodak which lead to discussion of Kodak abandoning slide film already and my comment about how little of it was reportedly sold at one major North American supplier. Do try to keep up. ;)Quote:

I used some "Efkecolor Spektar 100" 35mm color negative some years ago. I have one of the rainbow-colored cartons in front of me and it says, in tiny letters, "Made in Cooperation with Japanese Company". Process was "C-41 or FC-60", expiry July 1995. IIRC, the film looked a lot like a Konica product?Quote:

I also bought one, but with a twist: I told him to make it wide enough to slit 105mm microfiche stock down to 122 size.Quote:

Still trying to figure out who in heck Al Spoil was, though.
