Rick Helmke Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I don't often comment but I enjoy these Marc. That bit about High Speed Ektachrome takes me back a bit when that was the only Ektachrome I used but used it nearly every day. Rick H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_bergman1 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Mike - Glad you like it. Rick - I remember using High Speed Ektachrome for the 1984 Summer Olympics. It seemed like such a fast film after using Kodachrome 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I thought High Speed Ektachrome was gone by 1984. We then had Ektachrome 100, 200, and 400. Ektachrome 400 has more than three sensitive layers, for extra speed, I believe two for each color. Amazing, though a little more expensive. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julio Fernandez Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Thanks for this post, again. I am happy to own several of those "Bargains in 35mm"! An excellent guide for checking used cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Now the Christmas panic is over I can catch up on my reading. Many thanks, Marc; from a retrospective POV the article on bargain cameras was interesting and relevant. Please keep up this good work in the New Year!

Mike Gammill Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think there was some overlap of the sale of High Speed Ektachrome (E4 and ISO 160) and its immediate successor, the E6 Ektachrome 200. My first Ektachrome 200 was during the late 70's when I used some to photograph a meteor shower. A little later when Ektachrome 400 became available I had a roll pushed so I could expose at E.I. 800. It actually worked quite well. Back in my earlier college days I used a Unicolor E4 kit for High Speed Ektachrome and got got results, although the roll I pushed for E.I. 320 exposure had a bit of a purple tinge. I never got into doing E6 at home, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
