Talk:List of photographic films

message: I think that the intended scope and depth of the list is too big for this to become both informative and comprehensive, due to acceptable sizes as per the Manual of Style. What may be more workable and better formatting-wise would be to create an infobox for film specs and characteristics, which you could then incorporate into the individual articles for the films. Then you could simply format this list as a table with the film name (and link to the film's article), maybe a year of introduction, year of discontinuation (if so), manufacturer, and simple qualifiers like color/b&w/infrared, negative/reversal, so on. Anyway, that's my two cents. Good luck! Girolamo Savonarola 17:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's an interesting idea. It could certainly help get much of the listcruft out of this article. I can see a number of problems though. Firstly, many films don't have articles. Creating a bunch of articles, each containing little more than an infobox, might see them quickly being nominated for deletion (AfD). I'm not sure much can be written about many films. Secondly, most films have several speeds, some of which are quite different. For example - Velvia 50, 100F, and 100. Each speed was developed and introduced with many years inbetween. Velvia 100 also has colour correction layers from Provia. So I'm not sure how all this different information should be shown in an infobox (presumedly just one per film). I guess the only option would be to remove much of the data. What information did you think should be in an infobox? --Imroy 06:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Cleanup advice

message: X570's edit and logic ("Kodak - kodak is an American company, use American spelling. on pages regarding british topics eg Ilford, by all means use brit spelling.") makes little sense.  Following this logic we would have variant versions of English within the same article based on the nationality of the film producer (thankfully no British color films are represented).  Since this edit violates WP:ENGVAR in that we are told to "Stay with established spelling" and to use the same spelling convention throughout an article, I am reverting the edit.

thread_title: English

message: Both the established and original spelling (see first edit) per WP:ENGVAR in this article is American.   Please stop using and reverting to British spelling.  To do so is a violation of WP:ENGVAR.  Also please note that "Agfacolor" is a German brand name and should never be spelled "Agfacolour".  To spell it "Agfacolour" could be considered vandalism. --VMS Mosaic 23:22, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing Agfa films 

message: the article makes no mention of the German company Adox who are now a significant manufacturer of photographic films.  There is also no mention of Lomography who are now making 110 cartridges in colour and monochrome.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.228.255 (talk) 10:00, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Another missing brand is ORWO, which used to be the east-German branch of AGFA. I understand that a number of "boutique" 135 B/W films are simply re-spooled ORWO stock. Rocknrollsuicide (talk) 23:04, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

message: I don't think it makes sense to have a list of films that have been introduced in the last 12 months because that's not really in the encyclopedic style.

thread_title:  New colour key 

message: Someone should clarify what "on" means next to the years. Does it mean onwards? If yes, what is the difference to available?
The article is dense in useful information, but this "on" has me puzzled.
