Is there a vegan equivalent to gelatin film?
I keep hearing that there isn't but then I hear that there is? Has anyone had any experience with this?

I would love to be able to use my film cameras again, thanks<3

Hmm, now I'm wondering if that also puts it in conflict with Jewish law for people who keep Kosher. I posted the question on weirdjews to see if they had any thoughts on the matter.

Consensus seems to be that it's Kosher because you don't eat it. Never mind. :)

Thanks for this. I find it quite interesting, and I know very little about kosher guidelines.

How weird.

I grew up in a Jewish, non-Kosher keeping family. So, I knew what Kosher guidelines were, but we did not follow them in my family, so I did not know them as well as someone who actually followed them. They include a number of prohibitions against eating certain foods (pig products, shellfish and certain types of fish, anything which combines milk and meat products, etc) based on the Talmudic interpretations of dietary laws handed down in the Torah, but they do not apply to anything other than food, so Kosher law does not affect them.

Kashrut isn't about ethics, it's about ritual purity.
