Film at 11.


NH, I was unaware it was out of mothballs.

When I shot film - which I did until 2006 - I never shot Ektachrome anyway, if I could avoid it. In Kodak's waning days of meeting camera store orders, I was persuaded to change to Fuji Velvia 50 for the medium format work I was doing then and was much happier with it on a number of levels.

Even back in the early 1970s, Kodachrome was far superior for grain-free, higher color response films. Ektachrome's claim to preserve color and detail at higher ISO/faster shutter speeds was not IMO proven in the results.

It's one thing to reminisce about Kodak, and this weird idea they're having, and it's quite another to try to find a pro film lab doing E6 processing.

Plus, it's only going to be available in 35mm, which means they'll have to cater to the usable film camera-owning populace, and that's about 1%.
