Whoa, that's one thing they were not doing in the Fifties. Or, you would not have wanted one from anyone willing to give it a try.
Take care of yourself.

Wish you a smooth recovery! Glad to see you can get around a bit to take pics.

Ouch!!! Good luck, my friend.. order more rolls so you can catch up when all is well!!!
Wow, thanks guys, I'm hoping it goes well. This has been the 3rd worst year of my life health wise, so a hip job doesn't seem like that much. At least I've been taking photos all year.
I did shoot my friend in his boat with Ektachrome 100:

Sorry to hear of the rough year, John. All the more reason to hope this goes well and that the next year is one of your best!
Be well.

Here are a few from my last batch. They're all from the Los Angeles Arboretum. It's not flower season, but I was able to get a few good pics. I think I may order a Plustek scanner and see if it scans sharper for me. I can always return it if it sucks...

Nice photos, I've been to that arboretum, it is a great photo spot. Ektachrome 100 is very much softer than C-41 films. Let us know if the new scanner helps.
It is a surprise that it seems so much softer, I had the same problem with Kodak Elitechrome 100. But Ektachrome 200 in 120 is fine on my flat bed:

offtopic, but: I suggest you look into Nikon Coolscan V (LS-50) which supports real 4000 spi and also has an automatic feeder for a strip up to 6 negatives; the Coolscan 5000 can even do a whole roll with the right (or a modified) feeder. No need to handle these flimsi holders of the Plustek. Also no big depreciation if you think about selling again as they hold their value.
Coolscan 4000 can also be an option if you've got a firewire input on your PC. For Mac I suggest to get V or 5000 as the VirtualMachines needed to run NikonScan 4 don't support Firewire passthrough but only USB-Passthrough.
of course you could also use Vuescan or Silverfast. NikonScan 4 runs on Win10

In these time I?m very much in a B&W mood but...seeing these beautiful photos with good colours makes me desiring to shoot some Ektachrome...well done everyone!
@ John: wish you all best and a speed recovery.

Me, too! BW mood and color film. Must indulge both!
There is a really cool part about shooting slide film again... I am using the F80 with all of its capabilities from metering to AF. I can't think of anything this little $25 camera cannot do with the new Ektachrome, so I am really having high expectations.
80 iso? Easy. Spot metering, easy. Small and lightweight, and so much more.

Once you shoot more than a couple stocks it's great to have more bodies...
That's what I like about the 90s semi pro SLR, loaded with features and cheap as chips nowadays. Shot my last of Elitechrome last year on the F90.
ATM It's hard to get E100 (available 15 Nov in EU) so might or might not shoot it over Xmas. Might order 120 Provia to make up for it.
And I saw some examples that vaguely reminded me of a Kodachrome palette

Oops, I meant F80! Made the change...
It is so fun and easy to use I may pick up another to dedicate for shooting Fuji slide film. And maybe another for B/W.
Total out-of-pocket for three cameras: $60 +/- (About the same as a 5-pack of slide film) wow!

Thanks Robert Blu. And Dave L. I'm going to use a $12 SLR next time around so I can be 80 ISO, and AF. I had a little problem focusing manually at 100 ISO in the late afternoon.

Yeah.. i've thought about the Nikons, but I don't really want to invest in old technology that may or may not work in the near future. Especially at the prices they go for. There was one selling locally for $500 (a V model) and I thought about going for it, but it seems to be gone now. Honestly though, that price is low compared to most, so I feel like there must've been some kinda 'catch'

I have a Coolscan V I use for 35mm and an Epson V500 for 120 and 70mm. I only do C41 anymore these days--color and B&W. Reading through this thread it seems like a lot of work to "see" how your photos turned out with this newer Kodak film. Why not send it to NCPS and let them do the scans for you? This photo was from expired Ektachrome shot with a Mamiyaflex C. I used the V500 and Vuescan to do the scan. Rarely do I scan E6 anymore.

If film sales are up as claimed perhaps we will see some new film scanners.
If nothing else the reintroduction of Ektachrome can only be a hopeful sign.

I do like this one. Hoping my expired E film will be as good. Not sure who I will have do the scans yet, though.

Hey, John, it's all good. I'm on my second set of prosthetic knees and my first right shoulder.
Got 28 years outa the first set of knees!! Getting ready to retire end of year and have trips out to Zion and Big Bend planned first of the year. I don't baby the prostheses but I know what they will and won't do. Good luck with your hip, bud.
