Anyone get their Free New Portras?

[otherNed]

Got mine in Saturday's mail

4 rolls of 120= 160 VC & NC, 400 VC & NC and a $25 rebate if you purchase $125 or more of the New Portra films before 1/31/07

Live in the midwest (Illinois) and haven't got mine yet. Hopefully soon, can't wait!

Interesting. Seems Kodak has Extended the rebate offer a month and bumped up the amount.

 

[Kobin]

Hmmm,

anyone else still waiting?

Yes, and patiently I might add. I like shooting color in my Yashika Electro 35 GSN, and the old Zeiss Nettar does an amazingly good job of color, too. Maybe tomorrow....

Now, if Fuji can manage to get us some Provia 400X and T64, things would be perfect.

Adorama have had T64 for a few months - I'm trying it out because of the impending demise of Portra 100T.

Best,

Interesting, I wonder why Calumet doesn't have it. Let me know how it turns out, I've got a couple of rolls of the old stuff to use up, then I'm going to order some T64.

grrrr....I thought I had recieved my free portras....but in reality had recieved a buttload of efke 25, 50 and 100 from freestyle. Still good....but i had my hopes up

I got mine yesterday. One each of the 160 in 35mm and one each of the 400 in 120, even though I didn't request 120. Anyone interested in trading their 35mm for 120?

Bob, it doesn't come in a plain box, a tube about a foot long with an advertisement on the outside. You know what it is as soon as you see it.

Got mine today!! Came in the mail a few minutes ago. Washington, DC

 

[Travis Nunn]

I'm still waiting, too...

 

[eddie gunks]

Has a picture of a bride on the front - made me think that this is the target application.

I am going to try out the 160NC or VC this weekend.

I got them but my friend hasn't got it yet. And we live in the same city. But she listed herself as amateur. I am not sure if there are priorities on that.

I listed myself as an amateur - so I am not sure since I got them yesterday. From an earlier post it seems they had to rev up the line to ship them out, so it may just that you have to wait a bit of time ... ?

My new/old Linhof 6x9 back I picked up on eBay just arrived, so it looks like a good excuse to test some rollfilm.

 

[John A]

so, i signed up for 35mm film because i didnt have my mamiya at that point. but when i arrived home today, i found 3 tubes full of 120 film. im beyond excited, its like kodak knew i was getting a new MF camera. im also not sure why i got three tubes.

 

[Christiaan Phleger]

Gaaa! I can't wait!! I feel like Tweek on South Park, all twitchy when I see a mail truck. Its gonna take forever to get to Hawaii. Gaaaa!

 

[Lazybones]

So, are any of you going to shoot this film, or just talk about it? I have posted my results...:confused:

 

[braxus]

Thats also what I was wondering. It seems everyone is saving this film for a rainy day instead of shooting it now. I don't think this is what Kodak had in mind for people to test this film out.

 

[Jeffrey A. Steinberg]

I got my film yesterday....

[copake_ham]

Arrived home to NYC earlier tonight from Tucson to find a tube with both the 160 and 400 in both 35mm and 120.

Now up in Copake to see what "goodies" came to this address.

 

[Edwardv]

Received the film November 22.

 

[mrwestphal]

Well, 11/26/06 in MN. and still waiting but if I get to impatiant I can just go over to *bay because there are at least 5 new auctions of the new stuff right now.
So glad those people decided to get there free stuff so they could make a buck while those of us who do shoot film get the pleasure of waiting!

sorry for the rant, it just pissed me off to know end when i found those auctions this morning!

 

[Derek Lofgreen]

If I ever get mine I will shoot it right away. But I havn't seen anyone outside of the NY area get their film yet.
