Ektachrome would be awesome especially if we could get E100G and a 400 speed film now that Provia 400X is going away. And if slide film is still as popular in Europe as I read on here, that just might, maybe, be possible, unlike things like Ektalure and Panalure that are just pipe dreams some of us are indulging.
I don't blame you a bit. We have an over-abundance of absurdity around here. I'm afraid we might be pinned for the count. You might want to use a little tenderizer when you broil that power cord. Easier to chew.
I still see Kodak E6 films in the shops here in China. I never checked the dates so I dont know if they are expired or not. But most of the film stores in the mall I go to have Ektachrome displays well stocked.
It's the Cadmium salts that are banned, that's why NiCd batteries are no longer made, Kodak was the last of the major manufacturers to use Cadmium in a warm tone paper.

Lighten up. We can all dream. They aren't going to make some product only seven of us want and endanger the rest of the company.
Not doubting you, but some artists' paints definitely contain Cadmium, e.g. http://www.winsornewton.com/main.aspx?PageID=269
Presumably there are differences in toxicity of different cadmium compounds, as I'd imagine that a large tube of artists' colour would contain a lot more cadmium than
the thin emulsion in a packet of photo paper ?

German law does not differenciate between Cadmium compounds.

I find life dull only if I sit around on the internet all day and don’t get out and make new photos happen.
It goes almost without fail in a great many threads about Kodak, people start chiming in not about supporting them in making great new images on current Kodak films but pining for what is gone and is never coming back….over and over and over. It is by far one of the worst things about this very forum, it happens a lot less on other ones probably because the demographic is a lot younger. And speaking of young people, they love what they are able to do on current Kodak films, often show a ton more talent than I see here and no, not just the Hipster-Lomo crowd.
I just don’t get it, if someone posted in 3 previous threads that they want Ektachrome back, why do we have to keep hearing in the NEXT 3??? I don’t care anymore if you want to dream about materials, MY dreams are to be making better and better images on CURRENT and PROFITABLE Kodak films and getting more young people into realizing their talents with those same films.
This insistence on pining for materials that are not coming back is not moving anything forward…in fact, I think it does more harm than good.
