Announcement from Kodak coming on February 23rd 2018

3200?
So if we start with Kodachrome II (ASA 25) 7 STOPS FASTER IS 3200. YET THE SCRIPTURE PREDICTS EVEN GREATER THINGS

“I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

It's either the apocalypse or Portra 3200. And maybe chromogenic black and white. Or like I said, maybe the end of the world.

It's going to be P3200 no doubt.

well, always nice to have another option. Says it's nominal rating is 800 iso and designed to be pushed to 3200. I wonder how well it performs at 800 iso though? Anybody have any experience with this film back in it's hayday?

My understanding was that even though it is 800 or 1000 iso film, when tested using the ISO standard, the result CC is not ideal intentionally, such that when it is push processed the resulting CC is better, than it would otherwise be. This is why the the film has a nominal speed of 3200 (i.e. a recommendation). I think this is the only film where Kodak takes this approach, in terms of labelling or marketing.

What does "CC" mean?

 

[Ted Baker]

What does "CC" mean?

Characteristic Curve. i.e a lot of the design of the film is centred around how the tonality of the film responds to push processing, not just the absolute speed increase which is I understand is 1000iso when developed in Tmax developer (800ISO in D-76). Delta 3200 I understand is designed around similar principles.

Hopefully someone will be along to explain exactly how this achieved. I am just attempting to explain the principle.

There's some great info on P3200 to be had on old Popular Photography articles, just go to google books and type Kodak Tmax P3200.

February 23, 2018 – Kodak Alaris announced Kodak Professional T-MAX P3200 (TMZ) is back initially in 35mm / 36 exposure rolls & will be available for purchase starting in March 2018, the nominal film speed of P3200 TMZ is ISO 800, the “P” means it’s designed to be push processed to EI 3200 or higher.

I'm glad we got that out of our system. It's also kind of a meh, for me. Local camera shop is closing here. I bought 10 rolls each of Ilford 3200 (35 and 120) product direct from the freezer. Still not as grainy as 1960's Tri-X
I wonder when (if) we will see Ektachrome, I think they can make it. I suspect EK is having troubles with the Super 8 project.

Any new film release, or re-release, is good news in my opinion.

 

[cmacd123]

now we need Verichrome Pan. Even the December 2017 version of the HC-110 data sheet mentions it!

 

[Theo Sulphate]

Being that its base ISO is 800, I'll certainly find a use for it. Initially, I thought it was strictly 3200. Since most of my photography is between ISO 25 and 100, the 3200 seemed too extreme for my subject matter. At 800, I can find uses for it.

 

[Harry Callahan]

Nice to see Kodak is bringing back some film(s). Hope there´s more to come!

I'd love to see that myself. Verichrome Pan was really nice developed in HC-110, Dilution "H".

Ok, from that picture if it's a new emulsion it's going to be a colour negative portrait style film.
Perhaps a faster Ektar or Portra? Portra 800 is outdated an could use a replacement, i'm sure Kodak could bring out a Portra 1600 with not much more grain than the current 800.

Professionals have DSLRs for exactly that application with zero grain.

Professionals have DSLRs for exactly that application with zero grain.

Sadly I got a DSLR for that reason. I found that film could not compete for lowlight. 6400? No sweat.

Some people do not think grain is the enemy. Some actually embrace it.

Digital images have such sterility that they bore me.
