But markets are different. I do not know a film academy here that still teaches analogue filming.
I dont see there being a huge use for 35mm cine use with Ektachrome 100, but Kodak are making great effort to make super8 available to students, and this seems logical that its a good stepping stone for students to learn on, but they are also targeting the professional market to some degree also with the new camera.
OK, that makes sense then. I do remember how Kodak was issuing instructions regarding the filter for Ektachrome 100 due to this.Zilions of Super8 Cameras were made expecting an ISO 40 TUNGSTEN balanced Reversal film. thus KMA was the natural product for super 8. I doubt if many still shooters would want to bother with using K40T with the requirement to use an 85A filter outside.
the 40T speed came out as Regular 8 film was often Kodachrome 25 Daylight, and Kodachome Type A (40) with a 85A filter also is shot at 25 daylight. if one were wanting to shoot indoors and out they used the type a film and slipped the filter on and off. In almost all Super 8 Cameras the 85A filter is built in and has a control to take it out of the image path. often attaching a movie light to the camera, swung the filter out.
Many of these cameras could not read a Daylight 64 coded cartridge and expose it correctly.
Well I sure have no idea, but it appears that kodak are working with many academys and giving students free film to learn on.But markets are different. I do not know a film academy here that still teaches analogue filming.

Hardcore Kodachrome users never used Eektachrome or Fuji.
Don't tell Jobo there are no darkrooms. We are going to need their equipment to process all this wonderful film.Jobo makes a nice tank for cine 8mm film too.That was the positive thing about Kodak's cine department over the last years: the were active marketing their products, including aiming at students (at least for their homemarket), in contrast to the still film department.
But in Germany film and photography academies are different from those in the US.
Here also darkrooms are closed. Analog is a non-issue.
I wonder if any of the engineers, emulsion makers, etc, who made Ektachrome, are at Kodak still?
Kodunk dropped Kodachrome because of lack of sales, there aren't more people interested in film now, the numbers are static. People moved on to other formats and some new people took up film, but there is not a rise in film interest that I can see.Evidence of this is the steady drop in prices of used cameras, people can't give them away.
And which were archivally more stable (Ektachrome is not in this category!)
A very good point but one that itself rather undermines the rest of what you say.And globally is what counts, not just in your own backyard and what you can see from your own front porch.
It's a good sign and we're all excited, but how many of us will buy more than a roll or two, or none at all?

What obtains in the US does not obtain globally (not recognising this is a common mistake)
Thus AgX' statement stands, and he did not make a "global" statement.

There must be, how else could they make it? I can't see Kodak making an announcement like this and then saying " Sorry, it's all cancelled as we don't know how to make it any more"I wonder if any of the engineers, emulsion makers, etc, who made Ektachrome, are at Kodak still?

Same way we're making Kentucky Fried Chicken with the Colonel dead and buried.There must be, how else could they make it?
