Probably best to wait a few weeks to see what emerges. There is plenty of film available online. A new outlet would have to be offering something special, or big discounts. Why buy re-branded Foma when you can buy Foma? I agree with John. Don’t give out your email address for a prize draw.

If farcebook says so it must be correct! Yes that is perfectly true, I know cos I believe everything on there is gospel! Donald Trump also agrees with me

I have just done a little bit of googling and cannot find anything about the B&W film whatsoever apart from a page or two of images allegedly taken using it. No proof then I don't believe it.

There are hints that it may originate in Russia, but hints and suggestions are not evidence, so I remain unconvinced. The colour film if you google
Revolog this appears to be similar to the odd-ball colour film sold by Firstcall with colours more akin to an LSD trip! Certainly not a film I would use myself. Revlog seems to be a product of some company in that well know film producing country called Austria.

The other colour film, the alternative to Revlog' called 'Dubble' brings up absolutely nowt! Although there are links to some type of sweets or bubblegum!

Well, it does bring up this. Not everyone's cup of tea, of course (certainly not mine); but it was easy to find.

I really think that this is an innocent enough project and have had no qualms about signing up for further information. My reservation is that it can't really compete with existing sellers in the mainstream film market, if it hopes to do that. I might try JCH, which looks as if it's an un-gimmicky film. We'll see. By the way, FirstCall already sell all 12 Revlog products.

Marty, thank you for doing those searches: they set me off on a few more.

Good to see their marketing campaign is working here!

It is probably not working here because I cannot see users from this forum going out and buying shedloads of an indifferent film with no information.

If as it has been suggested that the B&W is 're-branded' Foma film why buy this when Foma is readily available elsewhere and probably cheaper.

No band wagon jumping here as it has probably broken down.

Thanks Marty. I was not doubting your ability to have found stuff that I was unable to on Twitter, I just wondered how you had managed to do so.

From your first link I found a reference to London and his age and from the VAT link a reference to AnalogueWonderland being registered in Amersham, Bucks but no reference to Yorkshire in any of the links that I could see

I suppose that with only 6 days to go to launch as of yesterday I had expected a little more information on the actual website.

The whole thing just struck me as "laid back and free wheeling which might be fine as long as the actual customer service is "on the ball"

I have to say I have not been filled with anymore hope than I had when I looked at Edmund's link

Sorry Mike I knew I'd seen it somewhere https://www.lomography.com/magazine/...in-north-korea

I might not have much use for analoguewonderland as I need PanF, HP5, and MGWT FB paper, and I'm having no trouble finding that stuff already.
But, if someone thinks there's a market to sell more exotic, quirky stuff, good for them. It might not be what I need (or it might) but it could just mean more film users. How can that be a bad thing??
Good luck to the lads behind this. Looking forward to seeing the site up and running.
