Ohhh, nice! Do you know what formats? And is there a new price sheet?
This is what they sent me on Instagram. There are also photo samples.

Hmmmm, unfortunately that’s quite a bit more than I would pay for Kodak motion picture film, not including shipping costs. I do hope the price comes down a bit, as if this is the film I think it is it would be wonderful to get in bulk!

so that is 193.68 USD for they typical 30.5 metre (100ft) roll. is that for the colour material or B&W?.
for comparison, if you want Black and white Ultrafine Finese, or Flic ultrapan 400 is about 69 Dollars US for 100ft roll. Foma brand 400 is about 80 US. it that is the colour stock, it might be a resonable price.

I believe this is for color, but that’s still pretty bad to be completely honest. Kodak Vision3 stocks (50D, 200T, 250D, 500T, XX) are around $350 (including taxes and shipping) for 400 feet of film, or 122 m. That is $87/100 ft, or $2.9/m. E100D is $565 including taxes and shipping for 400 feet, or 122 m. That is $141.25/100 ft, or $$4.63/m. While the color film is ECN-2 process film, I don’t mind as I process at home anyway. While I would love a C-41 film in bulk, it is just not worth that cost.

I know how much it is to buy Aerocolor, you need to buy it in a large quantity, but it is still $3.57/m. Let’s assume that transport, import duties and taxes, and labor to pack it add 35%. Keep in mind this is a best guess, and I don’t actually know the costs of logistics, only the cost of the film itself. But, assuming that this is the case. that’s still only $4.82. More comparable to E100D. At that price, it’s still steep, but not absurd, and I think more people would be willing to pay that. Just my $0.02 on the matter.

I'm already interested in this. What volumes are we talking about? Here you need to count. Delivery from the USA to Ukraine, unfortunately, delivery from Ukraine to the USA is much more expensive. Two days ago I sent two FEDs weighing 2 kg to the USA. It cost me $30 UPS Express. A 30.5m roll of film will cost the standard $7-12. Unfortunately, in the opposite direction it is three times more expensive. We need to count. In Ukraine, Aerocolor winding 24 frames = 10 dollars is sold. Svema is cheaper)))

Unfortunately, a lot more than you or I could ever afford without a bank loan. You need to order 38 rolls of 300m. Maybe one day we can organize a massive group to buy the rolls, but it would be a big endeavor.

If you just want to TRY Aerocolor, it is generaly acceptated that that is what is being sold as

Elektra 100 which is carried by a few distributors in europe.

Reflx Labs sells it as 35mm, 120, and (soon) 220 formats, and they do have 9.5” rolls so they could also sell it in sheet film sizes as well.

Which ones?
I've bought from Reflx directly through their website.

Svema. I told him how I contracted them but evidently he hasn’t heard back, told him maybe folks here would know better.
