Hey guys, from Québec here. Plan on buying more of your rolls and equipment. I recently purchased your C-41 developing kit. Was my first ever home developed film. Turned out great!! Thanks Flic Film!
I have a friend that lives half an hour from Calgary too. Sent him to your youtube channel after discovering you're an Albertan business. Keep up the digital marketing, its working.
About location: First reaction would be: Why not ? A company doesn't *has* to be in a big city, especially when it relies on online sales Business wise, it's clever. A small village should have lower local taxes, lower $/sq ft, etc. En plus, you're providing a handful of jobs to the community Long live Flic Film !
Bit of a funny question, but do you have any tips on how to use a film lead retriever with your plastic canisters? I've pretty decent at using with traditional metal canisters, however for some reason I seem to struggle with your (and other's) plastic canisters. It causes me some issues when I go to develop at home, I usually end up having to tear the canister open with my hands in the darkbag, which I'd like to avoid if possible. Thanks!
We made the Quic Pic just for that. The latest version is out, very tough and very easy to use. The retrievers do not work as well on the plastic cassettes.
I've just started developing B&W film at home. I had a roll of Flic Film Ultrapan 400 come out strange. Not at all thin or too dark, and a few frames I've been able to recover in post. The one clue is that the leader and rebate are medium grey. Does it sound like I underfixed, or is the film base just really dark on that emulsion? [Developed in FPP D76 and fixed in FPP B&W fixer]
Hi Rick, the leader should be black as it is completely exposed for a longer period of time. If you cannot see the images too well and the leader is grey it sounds under developed, though I don't understand why the rebate would be grey as it does not get exposed. Under fixing will make the image disappear over time.

Would love to see an RA4 chemical kit! (and "repackaged" paper)
