Has Anyone actually received their new E100?

I looked at the Ektachrome Super 8 offering since it was not available last time I made an order - but it's $48 at both Freestyle and B&H!

I didn't think it would be so expensive, compared to Vision3 at $35. Maybe the price will lower over time as initial demand drops off, but the 35mm price seems already at a reasonable spot given Fuji's offerings.

At that price, I will only buy a Super 8 cartridge if I have extra money to burn or if I can get a friend to share the cost and do a project with me.

I hate to diss great vendors like Freestyle and B&H but it's cheaper direct from Kodak, so what are they doing, gouging us??

(Yes, ironically, it's backordered at Kodak too right now - talk about underestimating demand!)

They probably have to buy it from third party distributors.

I am seeing the Super 8 Ektachrome on Frank's super8 NL site for EUR63 INCLUDING processing and a reel. That's not such a bad price, indicating that the actual cost of the cartridge on it's own is in line with Tri-X and Vision stocks.

That's not too tragic, considering development is "only" 21.90 euro

£30 to £40 per cart and I will buy a handful...but much more and I am afraid my super 8 cameras may remain dormant until I have more cash to spend. If my interpretation of Frank's site is correct, the price is higher than before but not unrealistic.

Received mine, then again I paid a bit more than usual for them

Film 60€ + 27€ processing

I am not willing to pay that.

Yes, meanwhile it is clear that he offers the film including processing, likely the 60€ he listed before the film was available was meant that way too.

But still that is a lot of money for about 3min of fun.

Still waiting. My order, #892, didn’t make the second batch of shipments from the Find Lab.

Their latest update says they shipped up through #826 so you kind of just missed. Mine, at #1264 was nowhere close.

I got my shipment confirmation from the FPP store today. It is getting out there...

frobozz · Nov 27, 2018

TheFindLab now says they have 60 rolls in stock for $12 each (though they haven't yet shipped all the $11 rolls that were backordered, but I guess they found a more expensive route to get a few rolls sooner?)

TheGreatGasMaskMan · Nov 27, 2018

I got mine, I've already shot three frames, but everyone keeps selling out.

WilmarcoImaging · Nov 27, 2018

Bought a roll from Unique Photo, who has it in stock. Still haven’t received the Find Lab order.

Tracking number says it should be here tomorrow. I already have the E6 chemistry kit.

The description says to ship in December. I think they are receiving more in December than they need to cover the preorders.

At 60 euros that makes it just over 6X more expensive than a prostitute in Amsterdam.

If I had only 60 euros to spend...

frobozz · Dec 3, 2018

FindLab now has 880 rolls in stock for the higher ($12) price! Wonder where they're getting them. (If it was direct from Kodak you'd think they'd send out my backorder?)

Born2Late · Dec 3, 2018

I bought 2 rolls at the camera shop Saturday, 12/1.

WilmarcoImaging · Dec 3, 2018

Received an email today from The Find Lab that my order #892 shipped.

Good news and bad news. Wanted to buy more some more Ektachrome from B&H. Out of stock (which means good sales for both Super8 and 35mm);but more expected in a few days. I missed the 120 by a few days. 16mm also planned but I shoot that in BW.
Cinematography.com has a Spanish contributor who compares Super8 Ektachrome with old Ektachrome, Fuji Single8, etc. The New Ektachrome is fantastic and very sharp. I intend to slit a roll for Minox and Minolta 16.

Wow that's one cheap "lady of the night". I have a friend in that line of work...I believe she earns considerably more. Wonder if she wants to do a photo shoot on Ektachrome....

guangong · Dec 5, 2018

If I remember correctly a roll of Super 8 Kodachrome in 1977 cost $12.00. Adjusted for inflation, the cost today would be $69.61, so price is not exorbitant. 35mm 36 exposure is $12.00 a roll.
It should be noted that hookers, like cameras, cover a wide pricing spectrum.

I just got an email a few minutes ago from B&H that my E100 has shipped. FedEx doesn't have it in their system yet, but B&H says it's shipped. I should have it in a couple days. I'm doing a happy dance right now!!!

TheGreatGasMaskMan · Dec 10, 2018

My camera shop had a newly opened brick for sale today- and it's the first time I've seen them with it.

Has Anyone actually received their new E100?
