Kodak motion picture film 5247
December 26, 2017 In Films 9 Comments

Now I may be tempted to talk about Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Back to the Future and The Shining. What they don’t have in common is the costumes. What they really have in common is that Harrison Ford took a part in two of these and hadn’t in the other two. All … Read the rest

December 26, 2017 In Films No Comment

Let me share with you my experience with Agfa Aviphot Dia C. Found few boxes of 19?19 cm glass plates and very little information about it on internet.

A member of www.apug.org answered my general question about this material like that:

Let’s talk a bit about AGFA Gevapan 30 film. He died in the 60s.
