I just order it from the US to Canada, it arrives within a few days.

Hi Pete,

I tried Amazon and it wouldn't let me check out because I'm in Canada [Frown]

... Can you please give me more details, as I also tried the Minneapolis dealer for film - tech since it's the closest to me and he turned me down as well [Frown]

Hi Elyas
Who is your Canadian distributor? Curious "Canadian" minds want to Know.

Hi Elyas,

Just visited Cinematronix and they are only doing with digital projector. Are you sure thay are selling filmguard?

If you don't mind how much they sell. You can PM me if you need so at winbert (at) hotmail (dot) com

Posted by Terry Lagler (Member # 1110) on January 22, 2015, 06:57 AM:

Hi Elyas
Thanks for the link. Like Winbert I'm still curious as they seem digital oriented - although they have a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) Creation package so they do deal with film.. Did you contact them directly?

Cheers
Terry

Hi Win,

so sorry for the late response, I'm just now seeing your post on this thread, good sir [Frown]

... Hoping the transition back home went great, Cinematronix.net does indeed carry FG. The nice lady at their BC headquarters I spoke with at first was also in awe of my asking of the product as it isn't in demand at all as if late, owing to the blasphemy that is digitization. It cost CAN 35, plus another 35 for shopping with Purolator, n it was at my door in 3 business days ( including the date I ordered it on... WOW). The nice lady suggested getting it shipped from their Ontario branch so that it got to me Gast, n she could not have been more right [Smile]

!!! I applied FG to a print last night and am in love with the product already, will be sure to post before and after pix, as I HIGHLY recommend it [Big Grin]

Hi Terry,

the pleasure is all mine n before n after pix coming soon once I get time. Have yourself a great week and bye for now [Smile]

Hi Elyas thanks. That CAD 35 for what size ?

BTW, I was thinking that with the demise of analog cinemas, I believe that such liquid (FG, Vita Film, etc) will be lying around in the cinemas unused.

Have you ever checked, they might give you for free... [Big Grin]

Posted by Elyas Tesfaye (Member # 3356) on February 03, 2015, 07:08 PM:

Hi Win,

I have not but will definitely be sure to and the price of CAD 35 is for close to a liter (Doesn't say anywhere on the packaging but I remember the sales person telling me over the phone).

Cheers,
Elyas
