Have you processed E-6 at home? :?:

Remember, the E-6 process for EKTACHROME films can be modified to "push" or "pull" the rated EI, so some customization of processing is possible.

I also posted this Cinematography.com: For the past few years, Kodak Entertainment Imaging (Motion Picture and Television Markets) has reported to Antonio Perez in his role as Kodak's President and COO. And in that time, Kodak has introduced new VISION2 Color Negative Films, 2 new B&W reversal f...

Remember, labs can "push" or "pull" process the EKTACHROME films in process E-6, so the rated EI can easily be customized a bit either way: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/j83/j83.jhtml#1075448 Not that you are going to want to push E64T to EI250, but...

WOW! It may sound nuts, but the death of K40 might just be a birth of some other kind! Kodak may not even be able to meet the demand if people keep buying like they have in the past two days!!! :lol: Anyhow, Its funny for me that this is the year K40 finally gets the axe, funny because I've wanted ...

Here are the E-6 Process specifications:

And if you want to process KODACHROME, the much more complex K-14 specs:

I can't speak for Dwaynes --- that is their decision to make, based on the market.

As announced, Kodak Switzerland will continue to process Super-8 K-40 for at least another year. AFAIK, that is only a relatively small part of their business.

As noted in the announcement, much of the problem is that few labs even process KODACHROME anymore in ANY format. The E-6 process is much easier to run (it can even be done at home), and labs are more likely to equip themselves for this process in Super-8 if they see a market.

The Kodak announcement was quite clear (and truthful): http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/about/news/super8.jhtml As part of the portfolio revamp, Kodak will discontinue sales of its S8 KODACHROME 40 Movie Film. Final sales of KODACHROME Super 8 will be based on product availability over the coming m...

Just last year, Kodak reformulated both B&W reversal films to improve image quality and allow the use of a more environmental bleach in the process: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/products/bw/blackAndWhite.jhtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/products/bw/7266.jhtml?id=0.1.4.4.8.8&lc=en...

If you call the Kodak Information Center number (1-800-621-FILM (3456)), you get someone based in the US. If they don't have the answer, they connect you with the Kodak technical expert in your region, or with someone in Kodak EI Customer Technical Service. Worldwide, EI Customer Technical Service C...

Kodak will be announcing a new color reversal film for Super-8 in the next few days.

marc in Orlando brought the subject of 800 speed 35mm negative film into this thread. :roll: Here's the information for the Kodak Professional Portra 800 film: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/e190/e190.jhtml?id=0.1.18.14.11.16.24.3&lc=en This film is from the latest ...

I prefer the Kodak 800 Speed color negative. I've shot quite a bit at sporting events and ice shows.

I can only speak from my personal experience. I keep all my still film frozen, and I've never encountered a severe color shift because of it. Did you warm up (equilibrate) the film completely before you opened the sealed packaging? Opening very cold film in humid air can cause condensation. Most Kod...
