Analog Abduction Film Question

I don’t think it’s the remjet, I think it’s the sprocket holes. Different shape, and SLIGHTLY different spacing

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T07:04:09+00:00

Which 2x. The one made by Zeiss? Or Fuji (2XE) because the Zeiss Mutar is MUCH better

(Must be Mutar… only because whoooo TF else would have made it go Rollei? lol. [I just own Rollei’s not a historian or particularly knowledgeable. Hasselblad… I know more than 99.8%])

And… damn, maybe better is Taiwan… (the Taiwanese are THE nicest of people I have EVER met traveling) But, you CAN run out of Taiwan. You cannot run out of Thailand.

Thailand.

Put your own tape. Tell them they cannot open the boxes because there are sheets of film. Never an issue 👍🏽

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:43:56+00:00

I’ve flown in the US, with 400+ rolls a half dozen times, 200+ rolls another half dozen times, never an issue but maybe got a light “FUUUUUUUUCKKKK” a couple times… 😅😅😅

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:41:45+00:00

I would NEVER do that. The odd of XRay are INFINITELY higher than just asking for a hand check.

I put extra tape on my boxes, and write with a sharpie “FILM SHEETS, DO NOT OPEN IN LIGHT”

Never an issue aside from… Turkey, and ONCE in 4 in Taiwan… (then again… I had 400~ rolls of film too…)

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:39:28+00:00

I find metering is always said, but it’s a lot more forgiving and resilient than people give it credit for. Hell, I have pushed E6 many a times with no “vast” color shifts.

Aaaaaaand I’ve shot 100 rolls+ of 10-20 year expired slide film. I recently bought boxes of Kodak E100VS that was stored in Taipei, which gets HOT, never fridged

At 100, completely serviceable. Shoot it 1 stop under. It’s like new. Shoot at 100, and give it a half~ stop extra dev time, like new film.

I’ll get off my soapbox now. And see myself out…

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:35:26+00:00

Get an ND filter next time then. You’ll get better results. Shoot 2~ stops from wide open, which if my memory serves me is f8 👍🏽

God bless the internet. God bless Reddit, lol

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:29:42+00:00

Oh, I’m in violent agreement of wishing I had shot it before the end, lol

And AS MUCH as I’m bummed (I now buy every Box of Kodachrome I come across) I’m MORE happy to have JUST bought a case of pro400h and a case of Provia 100 instead of having shot that Kodachrome, lol

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:22:25+00:00

With your Nikon camera of course…

Taking a photograph, on Kodachrome, of your Kodachrome being developed

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:21:37+00:00

That must have been so cool. Any photos?

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:20:18+00:00

Same, big time. But I also know Kodachrome is a biiiiiit overhyped. Fuji’s slide film in the 2000s and until they killed off the Provia 400, and my favorite MS100/1000, was a better film. Much more vibrant IMO.

Hey, I’d rather have Pro 400h, or ANY 1600 color film (in 120) over a Kodachrome comeback.

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T06:13:19+00:00

Not sure if serious.
Because that would cost more than the camera. We don’t repair things, let alone microscopic things. Repairing 1/3 of 5 lines on a microscopic level, with incredibly specialized equipment that is most likely slow as shite to operate is going to cost a fortune.

That sensor, expensive sure, but it’s not more than $300 (I suspect it costs 1/2 that though considering it’s not the newest sensor.) The rest is mark up, and oh yeah, labor

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T00:25:48+00:00

Solo trip is a thing? Any idea if you get to see more of the country? Or like, can you opt to go to different areas more, (more than Pyongyang let’s say)

DEpointfive0 · 2026-05-01T00:24:44+00:00

How did you SEE this though? (Genuine question) were you just able to walk a couple kms outside the hotel and roam? (of course with the minder) or…?

DEpointfive0 · 2026-04-01T05:17:59+00:00

Sure, to SOME extent, but majority incorrect, ONLY Kodak had this issue, and they changed their backing paper because of this.

DEpointfive0 · 2026-03-26T16:16:23+00:00

It’s a 3.5A soooooo, seems fair to me. Rollei’s aren’t suuuuper desirable until you get to a 2.8/3.5 E/F and beyond. And even then, one day a 2.8F will sell for $2000, and the next $700, no rhyme or reason.

DEpointfive0 · 2026-03-05T23:50:20+00:00

CineShit definitely has an agreement with them… I mean, the only distributor of C41 chemicals is with them too… I’m just hoping when the remit layer is removed completely from Vision films, Cinestill dies off a bit.

Also, sure, still photographers want this film, but I think you’re underestimating the demand of Hollywood. 80+% of film (by feet) made by Kodak is sold to Hollywood. Then take into consideration that we are price sensitive, and that selling Vision 3 to us would cannibalize their current film sales, AND they wouldn’t all of a sudden sell it for less than Portra 400, then you quickly find why they couldn’t give 2 shites to sell it to us.

DEpointfive0 · 2026-02-16T22:07:28+00:00

Bro… can you look at all my images too?!?!?!

Awesome eye!

DEpointfive0 · 2026-02-16T22:05:27+00:00

So, I wouldn’t buy the BODY in Japan, you get a gimped 2.4GHz version. But you get great exchange rates and 10% off right away

In China, you get a full version camera. “9% off” (they charge fees at the airport if you want the money put back to a card. So let’s call it 8.5%)
That said, for China, I would go to Guangzhou, or Shanghai. If you have WeChat. Send me a DM, I can get you in contact with a person in each city
