Orwo still exist ?
- At least there is an Orwo brand in Germany
I'm not really sure who made the first sheet film. The Kodak no 1 camera was in 1888 is notable, but that was probably not the first sheet film? -- Egil 08:56 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
Taking picture on a paper negative is as old as Fox Talbot in fact Eastman invented the rollfilm : several pictures on a film. The no 1 and other early Kodak were reloaded in the factory the paper tape allowing the user to load his camera came later. Ericd 13:11 Mar 22, 2003 (UTC)
Is really useful to have a list of all the films alvailable on the market ? Ericd 00:50, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Could anyone describe the difference of film formats (135, 120, 110.... ect.) Someone (including me) may be interested why they are called by such numbers. Thanks..... investorjoe 19:42 Oct 19 2004 (UTC)
That's a really good idea, actually... I'll write up another section, and move the "list of films" to a separate article while I'm at it. Neckro 08:32, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It turns out that the topic was already covered at Film format. I included some links to common film cartridges, however, and also moved the film list. While I was at it, I revised much of the article. neckro 23:25, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Gelatin in film
"Photographic film is a sheet of plastic (polyester, celluloid (nitrocellulose) or cellulose acetate) coated with an emulsion containing light-sensitive silver halide salts (bonded by gelatin)"
Many vegaterians refuse to use photographic film for this reason. Why can't photographic film use synthetic gelatin?
because it doesn't exists... :( --Henriquevicente 03:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Roll film
Invention commonly credited to Eastman, it was actually invented by David H. Houston in 1881. (Now if I could just recall the source...) Trekphiler 18:05, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Notable films
I created this section to collect a few films that are known for particular characteristics or history. I've listed Kodachrome for its long life, and Velvia because it just rocks. I've also listed Kodak Tmax p3200 and Ilford Delta 3200 as two similar films that can be pushed to very high EI ratings.
I'd like to fill the list out some more. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Perhaps the most (widely) sold film or something. Was there any film that was instantly recognizable? e.g "I knew that photo was taken with X as soon as I saw it". I've only heard that said about Velvia so far. Any suggestions?

[edit] Solaris
Is Solaris really a company? From what's available on the internet it looks like Solaris is just a product line of Ferrania (which is already listed in the Companies that manufacture photographic film section). Can some with actual knowledge confirm that Solaris is also a company? Thanks. Csabo 20:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Digital VS Film
I think there should be somewhere in the article about how it compares with digital photography and how some have switched over.. or why some have switched over. Knuckles sonic8 17:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Does Photography#Digital versus film cover what you were suggesting? I would think that's the more appropriate place to have such information. BTW, I've switched back to film (admitedly after only using two point-and-shoot digitals) and I'm probably not the only one to have done so. --Imroy 18:10, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
