The Film that Will Not Exist Any More: ORWO Color NC19 (120, 64 iso)
written by fish300 on 2010-08-06 #gearNot so long ago I got 10 coils of film - the ORWO colour NC19 - on the internet auction. When I bought this film at once I knew that it would be necessary to show it on cross-process (C41) because the manufacturer of this film, and chemistry for it (ORWO 5168) was stopped approximately in the mid-nineties, but the price surprised me: 2$ for a film.

The Pros & Cons of C-41 Black & White Film
written by denisesanjose on 2012-08-23 #gearThere's a reason why the best black and white films out there are meant for traditional developing.
