Kodachrome 10 years ago?? 2009 was 10 years ago?
Ok, I checked and found K25 was discontinued in 2002. I had no idea when. It was just too darned slow for me to use anyway. I don't think I ever shot a single roll of it.
The real story here for me is just how 'last chance' photography is becoming... reminds me of shopping in the USSR: if you see it buy it, even if you don't need it, because you may never see it again and at least can sell it.
I myself in the US am now trying to shoot as much Ektar as I can, around my E6 and B/W, since I assume it'll be a few months or maybe a year or so when we find /that/ discontinued too (As I did with Kodachrome 10 years ago, and E6 a few years ago, and finally MP 100D last year - but the lead time seems to be shortening). At the very least I'd guess it'll get more expensive soon.
It's sad and a little frightening to be on this sinking ship of color photography, but I'm going down with the ship (so to speak).
What is MP 100D?... and finally MP 100D last year
Ektar is a great landscape film, I find it does weird things to people's skin but that's just me. That is a damn good price for it as well. Snap his hand off
Hi,
What is MP 100D?
Kind regards,
igmolinav : ) !!!
I am in Europe at the moment. The conversion was from uros to USD. It is a small store. It has some twenty five to thirty rolls of film left!
Ha, ha, ha, : ) !!! The small photo business I bought the two rolls from, may have have had a pay pal option. I haven't asked them yet if they do pay pal. The other store, a drug store, has been selling the film as well. They don't use pay pal I am afraid. I have been to some of their stores and the shelves where Ektar was were empty. A saleswoman even removed the label from the shelf when I asked her about the film. She said it may not be restocked again!We won't booooh you unless you don't disclose the stores info particularly if they accept credit card/paypal and are willing to ship!There should be 23 - 28 rolls left so please send me a private message of their contact info before disclosing it here . . .

It's a very nice landscape film, and would be OK for portraiture in subdued light. The contrast and saturation are relatively high compared to most color neg films. In overcast situations it's important to
use a warming filter like an 81A. It's not artificially warmed like traditional color neg portrait films.
Shadows under a deep blue sky will actually look blue (because they are!) - so you would need to filter
for this kind of situation too. You need to do this when the film is exposed. There is only so much post-
correction you can do (don't believe everything the Fauxtoshop geeks tell you!).
