Announcement from Kodak coming on February 23rd 2018

[Minoltafan2904]

Kodak Professional posted today on their Twitter and Facebook that they will be making an announcement on Friday this week, apparently they'll be posting hints every day about what it could be.
Most likely i would say it's going to be the official release date for the new Ektachrome, afterall it's supposed to be out before April 2018.

Marketing people, especially today, slay me.

That wedding picture threw me off...

Yeah, that photo doesn't exactly say Ektachome, does it?

I hope it's not Filmcoin. The hip new Kodakcoin just for film users.

 

[Bob Carnie]

I have from secret sources that they are going to introduce Ektalure Fibre base paper in all sheet sizes, grades, Multigrade and surfaces.... Thank you Kodak.

 

[BrianShaw]

Hilarious, Bob.

 

[Cholentpot]

I'll do it...sigh

Kodachrome!

Lie down

cry a lot

Maybe instead of Ektachrome, we get Kodachrome!

Yes! that must be it, right?!

 

[Bob Carnie]

That's strange. My source told me it was Polymax Fine Art FB.

I would settle for Elite

 

[dutchsteammachine]

If not Ektachrome, what else?

Their 8mm Camera?

A new film stock?

 

[BrianShaw]

Perhaps their branching out into the fast food business

 

[MattKing]

I'm hoping for Plus-X.
But what would be really nice is a major improvement to their distribution system!

 

[Minoltafan2904]

Hmmm so not Ektachrome....
Must be Kodachorme then ( please mama Kodak )

 

[Minoltafan2904]

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 Portra 800 is outdated an could use a replacement, i'm sure Kodak could bring out a Portra 1600 with not much more grain than the current 800.

There was a press release today from Donald Trump who proclaimed it all to be 'False News'.

That would be nice but we already got a 1600 speed colour film in stoc, Fuji Natura/X-tra/colour 1600

Currently there is no true 1600 or 3200 speed B/W film, ilford 3200 is really just 1000 asa. Because of this I would love a true 1600 or 3200 b/w speed film.

Either way, there are more slow speed choices than high speed choices, so a new high speed film please!

 

[bvy]

It's pack film. I can feel it.

 

[Lachlan Young]

It's probably a relaunch of 220 Portra, Plus-X, or TMZ3200. 220 Tri-X would be nice though...

And if it’s not False News it is Fake News.

A new line of photo copiers.

Natura 1600 is being discontinued between March-May
Superia 1600 was discontinued a while ago already.

 

[NedL]

HIE in all sizes including large sheet film.
Or maybe they're going to announce that they're packing it in for good.

I know that it's not going to be abut Ektachroe but if Kodak decided to introduce an Ektachrome 400 sometime i'd be all over it!!
