#believeinfilm for anyone that shoots 35mm color film, Freestyle has Kono Color 200 in 100' (30.5m) bulk roll for $189. Suprisingly not Kodak film, shows on the page its Made/Packaged in Germany, so most likely Inoviscoat (Orwo?)

Looks like they (the french site) pulled the listings for the films (for now). Good chance they were told (scolded) to take em down till they were announced 🤷‍♂️

@tmcfarlane Yeah, I has seen a couple people talk about it on reddit. Ilford had made a post on their IG & twitter yesterday teasing something "coming soon" & were going to announce it on May 8th, which made me do some digging 😂

US equivalent prices. "Official" US prices may be lower/higher due to the constantly changing tariff prices from current administration:

24exp $6.77
36exp $7.90
120 $6.96
30.5m bulk roll $117.48.

#believeinfilm Kentmere 200 coming soon in 35mm (24exp & 36exp), 35mm bulk roll, and 120.

A store in France already has it on their site for preorder. Prices include VAT: 24exp €7.20, 36exp €8.40, 120 €7.40, 35mm 100ft (30.5m) bulk roll €124.90

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/04/28/hospitals-in-ruins

Hey #believeInFilm friends,

I've made some improvements to the Film Price Trends app.

It's now easy to see how much your film should cost according to the market average, which film would be the cheapest, and what history can tell us about upcoming changes.

Hope you find it helpful!

#believeinfilm Anyone know of any film labs here in the US that use Kodak D76/HC110?? I have a few rolls of old b&w film that have no datasheet/film dev times. Two of the films I found times for D76, and I know D76 (next to hc110) is a good general "catch all developer" for expired film, so I know Id at least "get something" with D76.

#believeinfilm For anyone interested, Freestyle Photo has Adox D76 Classic (more comparable to the og D76) in stock for $8.49
