How many carts of 8mm do we all have in the freezer?

Post by john59 »

I have three standard 8 ektachrome, (new stock) one 64T, Three plus X and one 100D ecktacrome, plus one standard in a camera and one plus X in a nizo.

I was wondering who has what in storage?

I don't think you want them in the freezer. You want them in the fridge. I have one Tri-X and 2 adox pan x in my fridge. All have been already shot and waiting to be processed.

I've got 4 carts of Super 8 E100D and about 450 feet of Regular 8mm E100D. That should last me until Ferrania gets something going.

I have one roll of PlusX I'm saving for a rainy day.

Or rather a sunny day.

All I have is one cart of 64T and one of 100D.

For still film I have a stash of Kodak Portra 160 in 120 format.

I've got three 100-foot rolls of regular 8mm, six 100-foot rolls of DS8, and nine cartridges of Ektachrome 100D. There's a 100-foot roll of Fomapan R in DS8 and three Ektachrome 160 Type A sound cartridges. I hope Ferrania comes up with a decent and affordable replacement.

At least 40. Mostly V3 50D and 200T with few TriX and 500T. I ordered 60 rolls before the price hike. 200T has been going the fastest because it's most versatile.

Good reminder that I have to place a large order with Kodak before I can't.

About 6.5 as far as I remember;

3 Fuji F500T neg custom made
1 Single 8 R25
1 Single 8 RT200
1 Quarzchrome 50 BW from the early 90s probably artistically fogged by now
1/2 E64T

My all time favourite film is the Fuji F500T and I will try to order a new batch somewhere possibly along with some other Fujis too. Ill look into the Ferry when samples are posted.

Additionally I have 5 Russian reloadable carts which may be useful at some time.
