Bill-
They used to use Kodak 52467 Movie stock- the past several years they have
been using a film from Germany.
I did a roll in C-41 ( nothing untowrd happened.) the film had the same
markings as Polaroid One ... The 400 film.
I guess SFW is still saying it takes a special process ( why send out free
film when anyone can do it?)
I print it on the Agfa channel and it's okay.
The only problem is that they are so expensive; we tell people that they can
buy a full length roll of Fuji film, and let us (Wolf Camera) process it,
and we ain't cheap!, and they'll come out better than sending it off to SFW.
If you do your own C-41, use it, otherwise save it to practice loading your
Leica screwmount cameras!
