Kodak Reintroduces Ektachrome.

I notice that was May 8th... what's the news?
 
I interpreted that as: question asked on May 8; Question answered June 1 at 5-ish.
 
I believe!

If we are sincere and believe The Great Yellow Box will come bearing a lovely 100 speed Ektachrome film, by Halloween AT THE LATEST!

And if we continue to be sincere and good, The Great Yellow Box will bring us 120, cut sheets, 400 speed, VS, S, G, and RSVP.

Negative Nellies ,GET THEE BEHIND ME!

WE ALL NEED TO BE POSITIVE (wink, wink, say no more!)

Sincerely Mike
 
I recalled seeing a brighter response somewhere and found the screenshot. Sourced from a post in RFF.
Let's see this upcoming week what brings.

 
No reason to rush it other than it irritating a small very vocal crowd on the internet. From a commercial point of view the ideal time for market penetration is when Fuji do their to be expected exit around 2020, so any time between now and then will not make much difference to me personally. With a load of Provia100f in my fridge I would much rather Kodak took their time to make sure that new Ektachrome is the best E6 film yet. My only concern right now for Kodak is their short term financial survival.
 

Rush? We are now three quarters of a year past Kodak's previously announced release time frame. Hardly rushed. Once again, if a company decides to not provide information, the gap WILL be filled by others.

Will at E6 labs be left by 2020?
 
Totally agree. No need to rush it.

I really think the next update is going to be a product availability update. There's really no other (positive) update left for them to give us.

Is that a guess, hypothesis, or some sort of sacred prophesy?

If the bottleneck is the super 8 camera, we could be waiting for a while.

At $3000, the only thing that could make that super-8 camera attractive is if it could print $20 bills.

You mean like the Kodak crypto currency miners?

Brutal, but spot on.

I noticed that none of the usual Kodak fans here are all that interested in the Kodak Kash Miner. Kodak guarantees a monthly income, so why not?

I also noticed, lurking in a few pro photographer forums, that none seem even remotely interested in Kodak's new cryptocurrency for photographers. None want to be paid in this new "bitcoin", instead still preferring real money. The cretins.
 
Heh. Until this moment, I didn't even know Kodak had anything to do with cryptocurrency.

All these side ventures... makes me truly wonder who is going to be producing film 10, 20 years from now.
 
I checked my facebook, just a moment ago, and Kodak answered a question I asked 3 weeks ago.

Me - Hi Kodak, I was wondering if you had any news concerning Ektachrome? Will we see it soon or is it on the ice?
Kodak Professional - Hi - it's not on ice. In testing. We've seen the pictures. Expect updates in the next couple of days.
