Ektar 100 In 120 (4/2009)

[Thanasis]

Great news! Looking forward to trying some in the Hasselblad.

 

[S.F. Sorrow]

Great! Just last week my friends were fearing the death of 120 film but if Kodak, in this day and age, is introducing a new 120 film I don't think those fears are justified at all. What a relief, I can continue using my holga!

How about a new affordable, quality roll-film camera

Great! Just last week my friends were fearing the death of 120 film but if Kodak, in this day and age, is introducing a new 120 film I don't think those fears are justified at all. What a relief, I can continue using my holga!

Just imagine the increase in the sale of film, if Mamiya, Fujifilm or even Kodak would market a new, affordable roll-film camera. The lens quality is the key feature in making it a classic camera. I believe that mostly collectors will be buying the new, expensive, Fuji/Cosina folder. The buyers probably won't shoot many rolls, if any, with the 667 folder. I'll have to wait for a collector's estate sale to find the camera at an affordable price.

I hope someone from Kodak picks up on this thread and reports the resounding welcome that a new film has received.

Lets start a "Please start making Technical Pan again" campaign

[Q.G.]

I think they'll be sure to report the sales figures to the Board as soon as they become available (will have to wait for the film to be available first).
That, not what people say they might do in an internet forum, would appear to be a much, much better measure for the welcome the film will get.

The thoughts about reviving MF camera manufacture, just because some people say they would like to use a film in MF cameras they as yet haven't used at all ...
Yikes!

Many a good idea has been widely lauded as such, yet failed miserable when it eventually came down to people having to pay for it.

Calumet and Adorama are now taking orders for 120:

YaHOO!

I just got SHIPPING CONFIRMATION and a TRACKING NUMBER from Adorama. It's on its way, it's on its way...

 

[Ektagraphic]

I just got a sample from Kodak!

 

[Toffle]

I just got a sample from Kodak!

Ok... I have to admit... I'm more than a little excited. (Yeah, I have to get out more. )

 

[dynachrome]

I got one pro-pack from Calumet and a single roll from Adorama. I'm waiting for another 4 rolls from Adorama.

 

[JLP]

Freestyle list it in stock now. Perfect timing now that spring colors are coming out in full force.

 

[glaiben]

I had ordered 5 Propacks from Adorama - 1 was delivered (but the invoice showed they had "shipped" five). Packer was obviously confused as to what 5 Propacks meant - email has been sent to C/S. Negs have been developed and they are going into the enlarger in 5 minutes!

I got one sample roll from Kodak to compare with UC400.

How are you guys getting the sample rolls? Is there a link on kodak.com to a sign up form?

 

[glaiben]

Very nice film - grain is virtually nonexistent. Have NOT shot Ektar 35mm, so this is my first experience with it - the mask is rather pink, less orange, than Porta 160VC. I added 15M and 15Y to balance in comparison to Porta.

 

[flatulent1]

My two pro packs just walked in the door, thank you Adorama! Now if we only had some sunshine...

Call up Kodak's customer service.

Does anyone know where this is available in the UK in 120 format, please?

Not sure it's available for sale yet (none of the sites I checked have it listed) but there is at least a positive review from Jonathan Eastland at BJP.

 

[fatboy22]

Just got my 2 propacks from adorama. Can't wait to try it out!

It will be relesed worldwide next month.

 

[Q.G.]

It is already available over here in Europe.

I think this link might be interesting http://blog.epicedits.com/2009/04/06/film-review-120-format-kodak-ektar-100/, I normaly use Fuji Reala for general photography, and Fuji Pro 160S for my portrait work, but I will certainly give Ektar a try.

 

[glaiben]

Just heard from Adorama that my 4 remaining propacks are now on backorder with an anticipated shipment in May Oh well, I have a few rolls left to play with.
