lucky

china lucky is a company who, in their own terms, are “the largest national photosensitive materials and magnetic recording media manufacturer in China”, which i do not doubt at all. this is probably the reason i’ve never heard of lucky film before.

“A 棟六樓的風景” by 2493™ from flickr

i’ve tried collecting as much information as i can about this product, but it’s hard. i know that kodak and lucky have joined forces, resulting in kodak aquiring 20 percent of lucky film co., ltd back in 2003. i’ve also learned people tend to either like or dislike this film – pretty much the way people like or dislike anything in this world, i guess. but i decided to give it a try, so i checked in at ebay.
then, after a little rattling around in there, i checked out from ebay, having just bought ten 120-rolls of 100asa black and white film and another ten 135-rolls, that literally cost me nothing. i can’t wait to try out this exotic new film.
