Is there a possibility that Kodak will bring back the Ektachrome VS some day?

I have a magazine cover out rght now that is a landscape shot on digital, compared to what it would have looked like on

film, it falls a bit short but it still looks good in terms of subject matter. When I say it looks like garbage, it's not just the

resulting file but the whole lifestyle behind it, the hype, the pure garbage I see amatuers doing with it that they call a

photograph. In terms of what I want out of life, if I call it garbage, then for me, it is garbage, period. And you freeze color

films that are sensitive by the way, not refrigerate. I had no issues at all with Kodachrome 25 that expired in 2002 when

frozen then shot in January of 2011. I have Ektar 100 in 120 and 4x5 that I expect will be fine for years to come.

I might even get a little Velvia 100 in 4x5 since I have never shot it that large and enjoy it while it is still around, who

knows. But yeah...color film is dissapearing fast and some of the few people who are left that still want it to be made just have

no clue as to the scale required to keep it going, so we have threads like this one that people like CGW just love to spend

time in and talk about Toronto as if it represents the entire world....must be a flat earth over there in Toronto...and no

moon to look at either since that is fake...yeah, quality stuff man, lol!

Meanwhile, some of us get busy with exceptionally well thought out game plans for our use of film that took care of the seemingly endless parade of "What-iffs" long ago and now enjoy a future in the medium that WE made secure, not being forced to use garbage, jump off the cliff digital if we don't want to. I'd be lying if I said it were a cheap plan, but then again...life is too precious an end game to go plain wrap over premium....sad thing is many don't realize that until all the cards are on the table.

<p>OK, so you're still really talking about preferences and subjective matters, not objective or measurable quality. Your rejection of digital imaging as an ill-advised "lifestyle" choice is truly bizarre. Maybe you should save all this for APUG where you'll be sure to get the bobbleheads nodding appreciatively. So far, you seem only to be bragging repeatedly about the size of your film/paper/chemistry cache but not actually saying much else. BTW, can we see the magazine cover somewhere?</p>

<p>I say dear Watson, I am just trying to tell it from a different angle. The magazine just hit the stands so they have not updated their website yet so here is a iPhone pic of it. I'll also post a link to one I did last year, some film, some digi just so you have something else to chew on:<br>

It seems that while some are talking,

others are walking!

I was made aware, in a similar

discussion on a other site, that painters

care very much about technical details

such as brush strokes, paint

formulations and so on. I have read on

this site at least one person claim that

painters don't care about such trivial

things, so photographers should do the

same and give up on fine technical

discussions. Well, painters do talk

about such things, and as long as

they're learning from the discussions,

it's all for the best.

I suppose that Lomography has at

least one lesson for Kodak: how to

brand film.
