No E64T in Canada until Q1 2006
I just got off the phone with the Kodak order line in Canada, where I was asking for price and availability of the E64T.
I thought I might as well be proactive and get it from the horse's mouth instead of waiting for an announcement here...
The answer was not what I wanted to hear. The representative told me that it now looks like the Super 8 Ektachrome 64T "will not be available until the end of the first quarter of 2006."

This makes no sense, since it's already available in Europe. I notice there's been complete silence about its availability in the USA, though.

I don't think so...many projectionists live in the usa...the usa is a bigger market for S8 than europeM'Lord wrote:This makes complete sense. It is not for any foolish reason that the only official K40 laboratory from Kodak only exists in Europe. It is where the home movie maker projectionists reside who will buy the 64.

Right, then. I'll be ordering a 10-pack of E64T from Wittner Kinotechnik to tide me over. About 12 euros/cart plus shipping.
I'll just have to make sure it's shipped air mail or it won't arrive til 2007. ;)

wow...I should move to EuropeJuergen wrote:That is not true. The Kodak selling figures clearly say: more than 70% of the Super 8 market is in Europe. 30% is the rest of the world. USA is 10-15%.

I'd be surprised if 64T takes so long to reach Canada.
But it was always likely to be launched in Europe first (not that I see any fanfare launch from Big K) because I expect the film is perfed and packaged in France.

The government says that by 2010 30% of us will be fat....I am merely a trendsetter
I call 800-621-3456 ... I called today actually and they told me 64T was available starting at the end of next week. When I explained that I had already received 64T , the lady didn't understand how I could have gotten it. I think there are just a few signals crossed, that's all.
