Kodak Reintroduces Ektachrome.

Damn... I wanted the honor of making the 1000th post.

Don't worry. #2000 will be around soon enough on this thread.

Kodak Portra 25?

Aerochrome?!?!

High speed Ektar?

If you had been the 1000th post, that and $20US would get you a cup of coffee in $tarbucks.

Pay attention to the cash register next time.

I believe the announcement will be that Kodak is enhancing its 120 films to include an imprint on the developed negative of a frame number and the film name.

For those who don't want this enhanced feature, they will release 220 film.

 

[Old-N-Feeble]

^^^ LOL!!

 

[faberryman]

Why does anyone believe Kodak is going to resurrect 220? Because they can't resolve the paper backing issue?

Indeed. It’s time to embrace the issue.

High speed Ektar?

I would be happy with the return of the original low speed Ektar.

I would be happy with the return of the original low speed Ektar.

Why not both?

 

[George Mann]

For those of you saying that Kodachrome cannot make a comeback because of our inability to process K14 are deluded!

Kodak would obviously develop a new process that was currently possible using existing labs.

 

[George Mann]

Why not both?

Given that they have failed to meet their stated Ektachrome release date, they would be scrambling to produce them, and we would probably have a long wait.

Maybe a an update of Portra 800, or a tungsten balanced Portra. If it was the first I'd be a bit worried. Better grain and better resilience when underexposing would be welcome of course. But I like its colour saturation and wouldn't want that to change.

I believe the latest update said they planned to release Ektachrome "in 2018." So they have the whole year to meet their target.

Why do you all belive it is something photochemistry related at all?

 

[Nzoomed]

Kodachrome is coming back. I can feel it.

Kodachrome returning would be epic.

Kodachrome returning would be epic.

I would shoot it exclusive regardless of price!

Aww, c’mon... there’s a price that would make you say “no”... be honest.

Well, I would like to see the film and processing to each be priced within the $30 range.

Kodachrome returning would be epic.

I would be willing to shoot the messenger.

The return of Kodachrome? Unlikely, but if that were the case, I'd sell my firstborn...

Is there anything you don't spoil?
