AgfaPhoto brand resurfaces
The AgfaPhoto brand for imaging products is back. AgfaPhoto Holding GmbH, the parent company of the collapsed AgfaPhoto GmbH, has licensed the brand to several companies, reports PMA European Newsline. In spite of legal disputes on the brand rights with Agfa-Gevaert NV, the company that sold its imaging business and certain trademark rights to AgfaPhoto Holding GmbH.

  plawa feinwerktechnik GmbH & Co. KG of Uhingen, Germany, now markets digital cameras under the AgfaPhoto brand, while Sagem Communication of Paris, France, a member of the Safran Group, has acquired the exclusive license to use the AgfaPhoto trademark for their range of personal photo printers.

Film: Not dead yet!

Now here's something you don't hear these days in a digital world, a film brought back by popular demand. Fujifilm U.S.A. Inc., Valhalla, N.Y., has brought back Fujichrome Velvia 50 for Professionals (RVP 50). Fujifilm says it has found new materials and manufacturing technologies, and can now restart production of the high color saturation, high contrast transparency film. Yes, says Fujifilm, the characteristics of new Velvia 50 will mirror that of the previous Velvia, with initial shipments scheduled for early summer 2007.

  Also returning is Ilford SFX 200 film, distributed by Wynit Inc., North Syracuse, N.Y. This is a special film with extended red sensitivity, said to be "perfect" for landscapes, mountainscapes, and similar subjects due to its ability to add high definition to green foliage, cloud formations and open skies, especially when combined with the Cokin "P" series mounted red filter. It is also popular with architectural photographers due to its characteristic for emphasizing contrasting textures. It's a panchromatic film available in 35mm and 120 roll film. Because of its sensitivity, the film will be produced in small quantities on a "made on demand" basis to ensure that it is always fresh and fully active.

  And if you're a fan of Agfa films, Lupus Imaging & Media GmbH Co., Germany, has saved the brand name and is offering a range of Agfa 35mm films in ISO 100, 200 and 400 speeds, in singles and multipacks.

  And what do you do with that film when you've finished running it through the camera? Process it, of course. Enter the FP150 SC Film Processor from Fujifilm. This is a compact, economical film processor designed for today's retail photo labs. Despite a footprint of 5 square feet, the FP150 SC is capable of processing 14 rolls of 135-24 exposure film per hour. Both 135 and 110 film formats can be processed "out of the box," and APS films can be developed using an optional accessory. Deliveries are expected to begin this summer.

我想多说几句。Roger Hicks和Frances Schults认为人类※※上几乎没有某种艺术形式死亡的，只有某种技艺由实用的大众范围变成狭窄的小众但具有艺术功能的东西。

回到胶片上，事实上没必要怀旧或感伤。在摄影近170年的※※上，尤其是中国建国后的几十年里，现在是胶片种类最多，大家最能买的起，最能买的到的时期。实际上是一个空前繁荣的时期。
Kodak, Fujifilm, Ilford, Rollei, 还有大家不太熟悉的Forte, Foma, Ekfe...等等许多厂家都在做胶片。其中Ilford更是全线齐全的产品，价格比Kodak还要略低一些。

从胶片技术种类上说，感光度从ISO25-6400，甚至可迫冲到ISO25000的Ilfrod Delta 3200 Professional。Rollei和Ilford还有正色胶片。Rollei还有ISO25-6400的可变感光度的胶片。Kodak和Ilford还有黑白反转冲洗的产品和指导。Ilford既保留了传统工艺的FP4+,HP5+，也发展了新型的Delta系列，Kodak也有其相应的T-MAX和Tri-X系列。

至于化学药品和相纸，Ilford就提供了大把大把的选择，可以说你跟本玩不过来。更何况，很多配方都公布了。大家可以自己玩。

暗房技术上说，Ansel Adams的书很多，给我们提供了非常扎实的基础和指导。

更为重要的是，跟80年代的爱好者相比，现在我们幸福太多了。不贵又能买的到。
另外，可以说，数码的普及将生存下来的胶片都变成了精品。我们就不需要做太多的挑选，评测等无聊的东西，将精力关注在影像的艺术性上。

大意就是依尔福恢复SFX200红外线胶卷的生产了。

老哥，麻烦转成中文

哈哈，花花
我和你一样，也回归胶片，从此不问CN大战，幅面之争，O与砸O

哈哈,老兄息怒,数码搞得摄影太浮躁了,我买了800万数码单反之后1000万的又出来了,还是那个价,画面没有什么进步,还是平的狠,拍拍人像,新闻也就罢了,关键的东西还是信赖胶片,不过这两年使用数码单反,会了很多数码后期,还是有必要的,我添了个底扫,继续玩胶片,拍的好点的反转片,随便扫到1000万像素,不知道买数码单反干嘛?  需要的我就用原来那个800万的干活,也没人说不够!

WOW!! 狂喜ing~~~~

我喜欢爱克发，喜欢他的反转！！上一张图，北京嘉年华游乐场 agfa RTS 50 反转片，已经买不到了啊~~~

密切关注

看家大家哇呀哇呀的叫了半天，那些英文哇啦哇啦的我也看不懂，不过看到诸位的进一步追踪好像是l公司卖a的存活，还卖不到中国。大概是这么个意思吧？
卖存货也就卖到最后一批胶卷的保值期，然后再卖过期胶卷是吧，得没啥说得了，能买着啥算啥，估计乐凯还能撑几年，这不又出新品了，中国普及数码还早呢，别广想着玩家，还有很多普通百姓也要照相的，不说别人，要是给我老娘一数码他都不会用。所以我相信至少用胶片还不用愁。我还是那句话，数码全幅机身不降到两千人民币以内决不还数码，还得要裂像屏手动对焦。哈哈。
不过还是蛮怀念a的，好胶卷。哪能淘到大家说一声哈。

狂喜！期待着早日进入中国市场．

这是个好消息，但不知道需要时怎么弄到手。
