I think a little known or forgotten fact is that anyone can request membership. I just did but really hope I’m not accepted into that club.

Perhaps the people of a Photrio are just more intense analytical thinkers than those of other forums. That, for me, is a very positive attribute. It’s amazing how intolerant some folks are of opinions they don’t share and make it very personal. That, for me, is a very negative attribute that amounts to nothing more than bullying and a gang mentality. I thought I saw the last of that when I transitioned from Jr High into Senior High but I guess not! It may not be a matter of impatience but more a matter of seeking sufficient information beyond the cute marketing blurbs to understand both the process and where Kodak really is in that process. Perhaps it’s also a matter of missed “deadlines”... as a project manager that’s a red flag for me and makes me wonder (not worry, fret, or criticize) about the real status. Honestly... they can take as long as they want with a niche product for a niche user community. If push came to shove I’d rather see them ignore us and focus on a commercial base that will boost their corporate viability so the products I find more useful (Portra) is not risked.
I don't know that there are a lot of high volume transparency film users here on Photrio. And in particular, high volume users with commercial or marketing connections.So I've perused all 104 posts in this thread hoping to learn that at least someone on Photrio is participating in the trial of the "new" Ektachrome. But it seems no one has been so chosen or if they have, they are are not sharing it here. That's influence.

I said a lotOh, there are. Just that we use Fujifilm products!

I guess I'm the exception.
My favourite transparency films are still Kodak films. I still have a reasonable amount of frozen 120 E100G, although my favourite of the recent emulsions remains E100GX.
I should sell the big batch of frozen Fuji 35mm E6 film that I was given a couple of years ago.

Looking forward to seeing some of the slides shot with Ektachrome. Are the recipients of the blocks allowed to post scans on Instagram etc ?
Strongly agree.
So you are one? You have some of our new film?There is no restriction of where the testers' results can be posted: Instagram, Facebook, their own blogs, websites, other photography-related websites...especially Kodak! The pics will come, just give them plenty of time. They have to find a place for E6 processing and then go through the vetting. There are a few testers on Photo.net, and likely PetaPixel will corral somebody too.
Instagram photos viewed on mobile phones are usually garishly highly saturated. It is best to view Instagram on a PC
[ instagram.com] for a more realistic, but still somewhat quite detached (and always square) representation of images, and even then, there will be a vast variety of hits and misses reflecting the experience of individual testers. Portraiture, landscape, sports, pets/animals and sports, among many others will all be offering something.

Hasn't it always? At least, that was the impression I always had.It all depends on motion picture film. E6 slides won't be enough.
I am no expert, but I thought when a motion picture is shot on film, it is shot on Vision 3 negative film, scanned, and edited digitally. Cinematographers want the look of film, so they get it in the initial capture, and from that point everything is handled in the digital domain. Am I mistaken? Nobody is shooting E6 and the only ones likely to do so are students. Kodak plans a develop and scan program for them as well, right?Hasn't it always? At least, that was the impression I always had.
