C-41 film in Rodinal

What kind of camera stuff does Golden Camera sell? Or Jugend Brothers? No chemistry? Or is it still pricey even though they (might) buy in quantities? Digital. I happen to own the last set of 35mm reloadable casettes and the last 100 foot roll of black and white film that Jugend sold. I also had their last bottle of HC-110, but it had turned bad from age before I got it and I had to dump it. These were bought over a year ago. At the time, they did not say they would never never get any more of either in. The salesperson answered the question with an Israeli shrug, which means, I'm not going to commit myself, but don't expect to see them. If not for Betzalel Institute, a "world famous" art school, and a few smaller ones that aren't, there would be no film sold in this country except disposable cameras and c-41 color. Most of that is sold to tourists. Everyone has gone over to digital. The day Betzalel drops their film classes, will be the day the last store that still carries darkroom stuff drops it too.

I happen to own the last set of 35mm reloadable casettes and the last 100 foot roll of black and white film that Jugend sold. I should have realized that.

Most of that is sold to tourists. Is it difficult to bypass import customs somehow? Frankly, while I truly understand the rationale for taxation, it nonetheless seems out of control. |

Now that would take some doing ! I've seen HC110 that was 10 years out of date that was as orange as Kodak Indicator Stop Bath and it still worked fine. This was almost as dark as a cup of coffee. Just to make sure, I put some undiluted in a container and stuck a trimming of PAN-F in it. After 5 minutes in room light it had turned a light grey. :-( By that time I would have expected it to be black. BTW, it was the "EURO" liquid instead of the U.S. "syrup". Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

The only way to bypass customs is to have a tourist bring it in their luggage. Since almost all developing chemicals are forbidden in luggage now, it just leaves film, which has a good chance of being X-rayed (and not the weak X-rays of an airport checking scanner) or gamma-ray scanned.
