R.I.P. Kodachrome
"Annika1980" skrev i en meddelelse ... Now it's official. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsO...55L3CZ20090622 There were very few places where the film could be developed......not many places in Europe where I live. So I have never considered using the film. And for me the Kodachrome has been discontinued the last 10-20 year or more.......as the only Kodachrome was the 25. For fine grained film we got the Ektar 100 instead? .....even in 120 .....I think this is a nice supplement to the Fuji E6's. We also got a new TMAX 400? I still use film from time to time......like I still use my Thorens turnable....... :-) What about you? ......did you ever try out the Ektar 100? ....or was the shutter in the EOS-1V rusted? Think it is good to excercise the old film cameras from time to time....... |

I have a roll in there right now. Ektar 100 is a very fine-grained, highly saturated film. Perhaps a bit cartoonishly saturated for my taste, but given the correct subject matter it should produce excellent results. It certainly isn't a portrait film, but I took this one of my friend, Bill. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/113381473 I find it hard to get the color just right when scanning. I have also tried it and also seen a lot of images on the web. The film has "its own" colors. It is quite easy to recognize the images shot with this film. It has a "old stylish" look to my eye........or "Kodak look" .....a slight "brown tone"? |

For example, I needed to set it to ASA 320 for ISO 400 film. Then I found that you can buy zinc oxide hearing aid batteries that are the same size and 1.4 volts. My local HMO pharmacy had them 6 for $15. They dry out and stop working, so they last about a month in the Summer and 4-6 months in the Winter here. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
