Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Where there is demand, the supply will be met. My daughter, who is a professional fine arts photographer, reminded me again recently that virtually all commercially sold film is made with animal-based gelatin. Each roll of this film that is purchased contributes to the death of another animal. What is the solution? My daughter makes her own film using agar-agar, but urges photographers (both professional and amature) to begin letter writing campaigns to the manufacturers of film to switch to the plant based gelatin. Doing so does not, in any way, impair the quality of the film. One can also use a digital camera instead. Vid Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 according to this page, fuji film is not vegetarian. i always thought it was, too! http://animal-ingredients.hypermart.net/chapter_1.htm A common myth among some vegans is that one particular brand - " Fuji Film " - does not contain gelatin(e). This is however not true. On Fuji's web site, the company describes photographic gelatine as one of its most important raw material purchases. And even if Fuji's or other films were indeed vegan, the photographic paper onto which they are developed would still be coated with gelatin-based emulsion. The only viable alternative to the use of gelatin in photography are of course digital cameras.

However, if you print your digital photos on inkjet glossy photo paper, most of those papers also use gelatin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
