As far as sources for 127 film, Ilford does their special order film
cutting one a year. So, if you have old rollfilm cameras that use
when they start taking orders for the next custom batch. Seems to me the
most recent was just a few months ago.
Post by CarlosMFreazaThis is a film thought for Lomography mainly. Lomography is
one of the ways to sell film today. It's a new film, according Maco.
It's interesting to note that the Redbird colors could change
according the shutter speed used and that since the film is exposed
through the base, it produces a slightly diffused image.

Post by John WildPeter,
I bought some Redbird without fully realising what it was. It is
designed to shoot through the film base colour so all photos have a strong
red cast. When I got my prints back, I accused the processors of having
'messed it up' - they denied it strongly ;-) And then I did more research -
it is supposed to be 'creative'. I had bought it as a colour film, which
was its description but it had not been mentioned on the website that it
was strongly red.
Post by John WildI do not know why it is rolled that way. I expect Carlos will have an
explanation but I would guess that most of these Rollei branded films are
old stock and are rolled inside out as with Redbird & Nightbird and that
Crossbird is recommended to be processed as E6 or C41 - is because the
film is well out of date and treating it this way will be an excuse for the
results not being what would be expected from today's films. I have used
Crossbird in E6 and I find the results are quite pleasing with a 60's/70's
muted colouration.
Post by John WildI have found that most of the ISO speeds recommended for Rollei films
that I have used are not that accurate and tests should be carried out. The
ISO for IR film I used without a filter was OK but using with the
recommended speed of 12 ISO with an IR filter gave virtually nothing on the
negative. I will try a roll at 1 ISO next time. I accept that it does
depend on how much red there is in the subject but even reds were barely
visible.
Post by John Wild127 films are once again almost impossible to find again. Ferrania are
asking for emails to gauge the potential market for out of production films
because they hope to re-introduce some. Send them a message at
http://www.filmferrania.it/contact/ saying what films types and formats
you would be interested in purchasing if they start manufacturing again.

Post by rocketmanpm .Has anyone used the 127 film being sold under the Rollei label?
What reason justifies it being spooled backward so the emulsion is
"behind" the substrate?
Post by John WildPost by rocketmanpm .Is this configuration exceedingly objectionable?
Thanks in advance.
Peter
