this is too funny ...
it was their CEO that declared it was dead ...
One caveat from my old Econ professor;
"Marketing is bullshit" He started each semester with that being his opening statement (usually after asking unsuspecting advertising/marketing majors to raise their hands).
Without demand for a product it's all fluff. I do suspect there will still be demand, but what do I know?
I wouldn't trust them for long. Right now on Kodak's Pro site they are still advertising the advantages
of Ektar film for pros because it is available in 8X10 sheets; at the same time they announcing its
discontinuance in this very size on another page. A very fickle company indeed. They did the same
thing with their flagship TMY 400 film. Good thing I've got a film freezer.
If Kodak offered a poster I'd buy it.
Funny, my impression of you was that you were neither old nor little.Plenty of demand for MP film. Even when just little old me shoots a total POS, I'll still go through over 100,000 feet of the stuff.
The Vision motion picture films are outstanding. I've used Vision 2 in Super 8 and 16mm. I'd expect Vision 3 50D to be a wonderful stock.
I think the single roll packing of TMY120 has been discontinued and changed to package of 5 rolls insteads......am I correct?:confused:
Just like what they did to PX120 before they discontinued it completely...
When they brought the new Portras to market, they mentioned specifically that it was based on Kodak's new Vision 3 technology.
In fact, the "sub-micron sensor" technology that created the super-small T-grains for the slow layer of 5219 was invented for the recent 50D 5201 stock.
The sub-micron silver halide crystals enable detailed, discriminating capture of high exposure information and has made it possible to effectively increase the overexposure latitude of the VISION3 films by two stops while simultaneously improving the S/N in the high exposure areas.
Sad and silly (downsizing the product line would be smarter), but I have no confidence in Kodak....
I am no fan of TMax, which seem to be their "last" bw film, that film is now sold in pro-packs _only_, seems like the typical first step towards being discontinued.
