Was browsing eBay UK when this dragged my attention: apparently this UK-based film company claims it'll release a b/w reversal SOUND film! As far as memory goes it's the first time I hear about such a project!
Here's their website--have a look at the price it's gonna sell for though [Eek!]

Would anyone know anything more about this??

But if it's old K40, considering how old it must be, couldn't the picture show deterioration even in b/w? Or maybe the 17 they have "in stock" were in a fridge?
