New Kodak Film in 2022?

New Kodak Film in 2021 2022?
Time for a redo for 2022. So here is a new thread.

 

[miha]

Ektar 400 or 800/1000.

 

[NB23]

Kodachrome 64 is coming back for sure.

 

[mshchem]

I'm pulling for a real infrared film, maybe another C41 film. Kodachrome in E6 might be interesting.

I'm curious if SinoPromise will get the color chemistry mess straight.

I think film offerings from Alaris will continue to grow.

 

[Sirius Glass]

I’d prefer they just kept making the current offering, reliably, to high standards, perhaps without massive price hikes if that’s possible. Remaking old redundant nostalgia films sounds pretty unexciting.

We have a winner here. A good business plan. Low risk and most important he agrees with me!

What, no Verichrome? No 4-X Pan?

I don't think there's any need to worry. They probably won't be making anything old new again this year. Maybe a 3200 colour film? Probably not.

 

[abruzzi]

Given that sales of C41 seem to be the big driver of film growth at the moment, I think they should port some of the consumer grade C41 films to 120 (I'd love sheets as well, but that is pretty unlikely.) I don't really care which ones, as long as it doesn't have the Portra color profile (which I'm not a huge fan of.) This is mostly me missing Fuji color film in 120. I still have a couple of dozen rolls of Pro 400H, but I'd like something slower and not Portra.

Oh, and HIE! In 4x5 and 120!

 

[Cholentpot]

They never made a 2022 announcement so this thread is moot IMO.

exactly! just keep making TriX and XX plus the Tmaxes in 35,120 and 4x5 reliably and we're all set.

Its for the fun of it.

E100 for 8$
E400 for 8$

Get the color film out into the supply chain GOSH

Kodachrome 64 is coming back for sure.

All you need is the specialized film processor that added the color dyes to the black and white emulsion layers, as I recalled the last unit on life support in Kanas was sold for scrap after the owner ran his last roll of Kodachrome.

How about high speed Ektachrome, 200 or (a big jump) 400. The last high speed slide film I used was GAF 500, terrible stuff.

 

[MultiFormat Shooter]

How about high speed Ektachrome...400.

That would be nice, and maybe, not as difficult as some of the other possibilities. It would be the only high-speed reversal film on the market, so no external competition, or "eating in to" one of their own current products.

 

[Photomultiplier]

The only 400ISO slide film i used was Provia 400X. Wonderful Stuff. Even as a landscape and nature photographer, i would love to see it coming back or, as we are talking about Kodak, Ektachrome 400. Several projects come to my mind where such a film would be great.

But the Kodak film i would be really happy to see again is E100VS. Despite being a dyed-in-the-wool diehard Fuji slide film user who was brought up on 6x6 Velvia, i really liked E100VS. For US photographers it would also be nice to have some slide film with flashy colors in LF again, now that
neither RVP50 nor 100 are available there.

I may be a bit biased towards E6 because color negative and pastel colors are not my cup of tea. I don't like the inversion process or looking at the orange mess on the light table The dynamic range and metering of slide film is easily managed and i prefer the spectacular view of slides
on the light table.

As someone above already said: With the state of affairs now, i am perfectly happy if Kodak and Fuji are able to maintain the status quo.

The old thread was funner.

 

[Christiaan Phleger]

Mm I'll settle for a Kodak film sale.

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

If they came out with a new film or brought back a discontinued one, I probably won't bother. Too expensive... unless they brought back HIE or something similar, then I'd buy some...just don't tell my wife!

 

[markbau]

As I'm down to my last roll of my beloved Verichrome Pan, that is what I would love to see made again. In my opinion, Kodak's greatest ever film.

 

[Paul Howell]

I really liked the old, 60s 70s vintage, with a yellow filter, D76, great landscape film.

Something to get my gambit satellite camera back in orbit

Yeah, but I could be excited by whole plate Super XX as a stock item.

Then multigrade double-weight Azo with a not-too-shiny F surface for good measure.

 

[cmacd123]

yes, this is folks talking off the side of their head.

what would I like - find missing?
120 - PX or VP as well as Plain kodacolour. around the time I was finally able to obtain a Pentax 645, (ie a decent 120 camera) plain Kodacolor was repleced with the Pro films. I can make do with FP4 in B&W low speed, but a nicer flavor would be nice. CHANCE 0.001%

a higher speed of Ektachrome. like 400. (or even 800) My personal interest in that would be in 35mm as I really don't want to try and find a good 6X6 projector.
chance 0.03%

basicaly I will just hold out for the current range to continue without TOO MANY price hikes.

I still long for a miracle in the North of Italy but I am more fearful that the little coater that could may end up being a COVID victim. And I also hope that filmotec is not destroyed by the carzy ideas of venture capitalists. N74 was a decent "walk around film, N75 does not seem as good (although perhaps I have to learn the trick of using it)

 

[Sirius Glass]

Seriously in absence of a manufacturer's announcement, do you really expect more?
