Restricted Film, Closing Borders
February 5, 2025It’s becoming harder to shoot respooled Kodak Movie film stock known as ECN-2. The supply is drying up as Kodak will only sell to folks that can show that they are legitimate movie makers . ECN-2 gives great color rendition as you would expect from an emulsion made for the motion picture industry. I recently bought a few rolls out of China from Reflx Labs. Here’s their take on the situation:

Then to make matters worse, our dumbshit president put a hold on excepting small packages from China as they are not required to pay customs. But the good news is that the US Postal Service will continue to accept these packages. So overall I dodged a bullet.
