Jeroen, what size are you looking? Usually for full feature it is 600'. As far as I know, Derann did not make any reels. It used reels from open market (Gepe, Posso or sort of).
Anyway I have them. You can send me a pm at winbert (at) hotmail (dot) com

Hugh, that might be true. In this case must be Posso. But did the contract was about to make custom order for Derann or just to supply them with certain numbers every period?
If it was custom made reels, which come with Derann logo, I don't have it. But if it is only regular Posso 600' reels, then I have some.

Hi Winbert,no Dfs didn't logo their spools, Derek was having difficulty getting 600' spools,so he knew someone in Italy who would make them for him.All this was covered in their newsletters at the time,which is why some films had different spools.

I received all my Derann features on horrible black spools. They were truly awful quality with sharp edges and no threading slot. I would always re-spool Derann films onto the high quality Bonum reels and throw the Derann reels where they belonged- in the trash can!
