DX tricks

Been looking for some of those old DX coding stickers but can't find any.

Anyone got another option?  Sticky tape and foil?

There's more to this photography thing than meets the eye.

Or even better: DIY
Some aluminum tape, a bit of nail polish and the proper coding instructions found here

and you should be in business...

side note, the article is very well written since I'm its author ;)

This may also be of use.  you can use it to identify what code you require.

I particularly like the function where you can enter the six digit code that is below the bar code which identifies the films manufacturer.

Pretty sweet find...
Now, I know for sure that my favorite house brand film is indeed made by Fuji...
And that my favorite Dollar store color film was indeed made by Lucky Film in China...
