Ektachrome update?

[dave lackey]

So, back to Ektachrome!

Any information on the results that have been obtained by all of those photographers shooting test rolls for Kodak?🙂

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I am loaded with expired Ektachrome 120... sigh... still trying to break free from doctors and hospitals. Hopefully we will make a daytrip to the mountains soon.

It is after all, OKTOBERFEST in North Georgia and the crescendo of fall color in the Smoky Mountains is only a few weeks away!!😀😀😀

The silence is wonderful... seriously.😉😉😉 no more Kodak bashing.

Now, this is the last I have really heard:

Any links to these testers results would be appreciated!

I think half a dozen testers posted results on the Kodak Instagram feed. The film appears to work, which is about all you can tell. You'll have to shoot a roll yourself when it is released to find out if you like it.

Yes, but WHEN?????!!!!! 🙂

Have patience, the new Ektachrome will be something special, of that I am confident!

 

[brbo]

Yes, but WHEN?????!!!!! 🙂

Apparently 3-4 weeks*.

* A comment from someone in a fb group (unrelated to Kodak/Ektachrome) that runs a photo store in AU. According to him Kodak (or distributor?) is taking preorders and is citing 3-4 weeks for delivery.

3-4 weeks!!??

Just in time for the holidays. Yay!🙂🙂🙂

It does look like they're getting close now. Kodak is on Instagram today asking for contact info for worldwide E6 processors for app integration. Very cool. From their post:

"We need your help! In case you haven't heard...we're bringing Ektachrome back. We're updating the film app so that everyone will be able to buy it, process and scan it worldwide. So...if you sell it, process color reversal, sell chemistry for home use or offer scanning services please download the app (available for Apple and Android), and make sure you're on the list or that your details are correct. Thank you!!!!"

This is good news, for it seems to indicate that Kodak is serious about letting its customers know where to buy the film and where to get it processed.

Gosh, just looked at the calendar...😱

Has anyone heard of an update on the re-appearance of Ektachrome, since the last announcement in November?

I would like to do a project entirely on Velvia or maybe Provia but Ektachrome may work better but how long will we have to wait?😕

Well it looks like this thread has come full circle. Kodak is sharing a pic of the press release with today's date, showing that they are now shipping to distributors. Well done!

Looks like availability for 35mm and Super8 from October 1st, with 16mm to follow.

On Instagram they have "35mm available now".

I believe it is currently available for order by distributors and retailers. Let me know when it shows up on your dealer's shelf.

I'm just saying that press release states that 35 is available now, 16mm on Oct. 1st.

Availability at my dealer's is something completely different and that info would be totally worthless to anyone else...


KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTACHROME Film E100, available from Kodak Alaris, will immediately begin shipping to distributors and stock house dealers worldwide. The new film will initially be available in 135/36x camera format and is expected to be a favorite among professional and enthusiast photographers alike.

KODAK EKTACHROME 7294 Color Reversal Film in the Super 8 format will also be available beginning October 1, 2018 from Eastman Kodak Company. Availability of EKTACHROME products in the 16mm format will follow later this year.
