Fomapan is actually also a worldwide well known brand. They were only behind the iron curtain and thus not so well known here. Rebranding has always happened. Agfa, Fujifilm, Kodak and Konica all had there film sold through in house brands. Maybe, it is film that did not meet the quality standards to get the Ilford batch, etc. A lot of in house cereals are made by Kellogg‘s, in house toothpaste is Colgate, etc.

I think you are missing the point with this one. The film is etched as FP4+ nothing to hide the brand. When I got rebranded films in the passed they had no brand etching. They also look like they came off a bulk loader.

@@FilmPhotography ah, ok. Sometimes it happened even in the old times that the supplier was not able to provide enough stock and the film in the Aldi cartridges was having „Kodak“ marked on the sprockets. But that it looked as if it is respooled, well… It does kind of make sense because the more you buy at once the cheaper it gets. However, it is interesting what you can then do in terms of branding when you sell it. If I would do it and sell „at cost“, it will probably be ok. But yeah, I don’t know…

Costco wholesale club carried Kirkland film which is a Costco brand name which was actually Agfa film.

If you can easily find out what film it actually is and it's cheaper, no problem.

It was not that's what annoyed me I forgot to say in the video about that. Thanks for your comment.

Its a good idea. Ilford has been losing market share to the home brand newcomers, so why not take them on? It will always sell to professionals, but this gives price sensitive people a quality alternative.

Thanks for your comment 👍

Who cares? When you (or this home brand) buy a product it's yours. You can resell it or hang it up on your balcony as tinsel if you want, or whatever else. None of Ilford's business anymore. The only reason it matters to me is if I can buy it cheaper this way, which you didn't help with by pointlessly not saying what it was in the video. So... thanks...
