gene_e._mccluney Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I see on the German Voigtlander website, they show a couple of 35mm b/w films and a couple of 35mm color films under their own label. I am sure someone makes these for them. Who? Gene McCluney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlr Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Actualy, it apears to be two 35mm color print films(ISO 200 and 400), two 35mm color slide films (ISO 100 and 200) and one APS color print film ISO 200. No B&W films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I wrote them to find out I will know if they reply. I wonder if the Chromes are not the old AGFA Chromes... because not many makes Chromes anymore.... Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thomas Yes you would think they would offer some 120 films and B&W films. Who makes Chromes thes days other than Kodak and Fuji? Maco quit making them so other than those 2 I have no Idea.. other than left over AGFA .. I have a Freezer full of CT I got at a close out from Freezer to Freezer. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene_e._mccluney Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think Ferrania in Italy makes color films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I wouldn't rule out Fuji. They've manufactured outside of Japan, including the Netherlands. A quick search indicates that older films sold by Ringfoto were manufactured in Germany and Italy, which pretty much narrows it down to Agfa and Ferrania. Ringfoto licensed the the Voigtlaender name to Cosina for the purpose of making film cameras but apparently retains the right to sell other Voigtlaender-named items so there doesn't appear to be any connection between Cosina and this "new" Voigtlaender film.

winfried_buechsenschuetz1 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I have bought a bunch of Voigtlaender slide films about two years ago. According to the green/brownish overcast of the shadows and the numbers printed on the edge of the film it was re-labeled Agfa CTprecisa. I don't know who supplies Voigtlaender film now. All I know is that a major german drugstore chain which used to sell re-labeled Agfa CTprecisa is now supplied with Kodak Elitechrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotohuis RoVo Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Well, Rollei/Maco just introduced on the Photokina (Cologne) some new films: B&W Slide direct film, made on an orthochromatic microfilm base (E.I. 25-50).

Special color scanning film, without the orange mask. N.C. layer and produced on transparant PET layer. Available in 35mmm and 120 roll film next month. Color slide E-6 film. CR200 pro. Will be introduced in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotohuis RoVo Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 >>They've manufactured outside of Japan, including the Netherlands<< The production unit in the Netherlands (Tilburg) is closed last month due to a worldwide overproduction of the Fuji consuming films (Superia). The market for these regular films is shrinking very fast due to the fact that common people are using digital cameras mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks for the update, Robert. It's been a while since I bought any of Fuji's consumer grade films so I wouldn't have noticed where it was actually being manufactured. I searched the web yesterday for clues but found nothing. Perhaps when Stephen Gandy returns from Photokina he'll have some news about this film (altho' there's no apparent connection to the Cosina/Voigtlander end of the market). Otherwise we'll have to get out a magnifying glass and examine the fine print on the box for clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotohuis RoVo Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It was even on the Dutch television due to the fact that 250 people lost their jobs. But this necessary "clean up" was already known in the Fuji factory at the end of last year. Fuji also had to do something to cut their Superia production somewhere.There is also a thread in APUG about Fuji the Netherlands.24 years they produced Fujifilms in Holland.
