New film from Kodak

[Dave Luttmann]

<p>Kodak should make a replacement for the Coolscan 5000. They'd have the dedicated scanner market....at least in the under $1000 category.....hopefully.</p>

[alex_kinnan]

<p>I'm hoping that it's an Ektar 800 that has the overall image quality of the old Ektar 25.</p>

[patrick_mont]

<p>Whatever it is I REALLY hope they make it in medium format!</p>

[keith_anderson7]

<p>Pretty much any new film would be great. Anything new in Ektar would be great. 400 or 4x5 would make me wet myself with excitement. (that's only a partial exaggeration)</p>

<p>Wishing it is a film that will have similar characteristics as the DSLRs output.....:)</p>

Now, what I'd like to see is for Fujifilm to introduce a new MF/LF scanner with multisampling, wet mounting, and profiles for their E6 films as standard. They ought to be able to get their money back in film sales.</p>

<p> This it?</p>

[alan_ginman]

<p>I'm hoping for a new disk film.</p>

[terry_dent1]

<p>It is Ektar 100 in sheet film sizes, 4x5 and 8x10.</p>

<p>You mean flat, lifeless, and two dimensional? ;-)</p>

[Dave Luttmann]

<p>Looks like Ektar 4x5!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Kodak's Introduction.</p>

[bob_himmelright]

<p>While its great that they are introducing it in sheets, its hardly a "new film"</p>

[patrick_mont]

<p>Maybe there is still a "new film" to come? :)</p>

[stephen_schoof1]

<p>Agreed, Bob - a bit anticlimactic. But maybe I expect too much these days.</p>

[arnabdas]

<p>I had read it wrongly --<br>

I read it as "new-film introduction" I should have read as "new film-introduction".</p>

[Dave Luttmann]

<p>This is probably going to end up being my main film for 4x5....that and Delta 100 for B&W. Kinda was hoping for Ektar 400 though....but this is welcome news!</p>

[greg_peterson3]

<p>I'll sure buy some Ektar 100 4X5, but I was hoping for Ektar in 220. Sigh!</p>

 

[jared_charney1]

<p>4x5 ektar: sign me up!</p>

[jack_welsh]

<p>While shoot B&W in 4x5. It will be great to try it. Also, it shows that Kodak won't forget the LF users.</p>

[Lou_Meluso]

<p>Sheet film Ektar!?! I'll be first in line. Would love a 400 speed Ektar too. <strong>Any</strong> new film coming from the Great Yellow Father is great news. YAY, Kodak!</p>

[bob_himmelright]

<p>OH BOY!!! Apparently putting out THE SAME PRODUCT in sizes that it SHOULD have been offered in from the get go is the same thing as "a new film".</p>

<p>Thanks for stopping by. </p>

<p>That's a cool thing, but rather underwhelming. You're not likely to see a grain benefit in Ektar 100 4x5 over Portra 160 varieties. But I like the Ektar Color pallette so I'll buy some for my Crown Graphic. Let's hope they make it in 10 and 25 sheet boxes. <br>

A high speed (400-800) Ektar would be something to get excited about....</p>

[randrew1]

<p>Ektar 100 in sheet film wont create as much buzz as the iPad, but it is a new product. Most of the layers will be the same as the 35mm version, but the support and some of the lower layers in the structure will require some modification.</p>

<p>I need to get my view camera out again.</p>
