Here's a translated clip from the Wittner catalogue e-mail I just got minutes ago regarding their new reversal film. It looks promising so far,and polyester stock...."The first products are in preparation After extensive tests in the first products for sale will be soon released. The listing in the catalogue is expected in March. We start with the formats 16 mm (1R) 30 m camera coil, as well as 122 m winding core. Also there will be 16 mm (2R), wound 30 m camera coil and - for certain high speed cameras instantly also on 60 m camera reel. At Super 8 will for the first time after long time again listed color reverse material by the metre. The Super 8 cartridge will follow slightly later. Here we are still in the test phase for the optimal preparation of the material. Only two pretreatment levels are required, for the other formats the safe filling in Super 8 cartridges requires a third stage, which had to be newly developed for the polyester material. Prior to the final launch of Super 8 cartridge filled we would do so some more tests. Safe is safe - Wittner just!"
