[brucealanheller]

I found this site the other day. Looks like among their products they have an equivalent replacement for Kodak Plus-X Cine Stock 80 asa no longer manufactured. They have a north American Distributor for their products. Looks like they have other stocks that would be useful for Optical Printing and archival work. They offer both 16mm and 35mm formats. the 35mm formats being offered as well with B&H .1866 pitch perforations.

Reaching out to Kodak Entertainment Imaging on Monday to get a current list of their Motion Picture Product line and pricing. will post links and info on that asap.

Hi Bruce,

Sounds promising -- curious to see if Dave Tucker can weigh in on this.
I know PHI is doing a lot of black + white archival/recovery.

I don't know much about film stocks, is Plus-X cine stock 80 basically "5231"?
(We always used to use the 4 digit numbers)

I had dinner with Dave last night, and asked about film stocks.

He was familiar with orwona, mentioned they were lower cost than
Kodak. I didn't ask if he'd experimented with them, I think they
were sticking to Kodak until forced to switch.

He said Kodak still sells film stock useful for printing, just a much
smaller selection/less options than they used to have.

Any luck?

I can ask Dave for stock numbers they use if need be.
