Kodak to reintroduce Ektachrome film

[danj]

In the 8mm and 135 formats. Thinks I'll grab a roll or two as soon as it hits the stores and load it into my trusty Pentax ME Super and take it to the local botanical garden or maybe the coast. Too bad it isn't Kodachrome.

I guess we'll have to send it to Kodak for processing.

I remember when digital photography became a threat to Kodak and they cut their dividend at one point.

Kodak Says "It's Not Playing Grab Ass Anymore" with Digital — in 2007

Once upon a time, back in the 60s when I had a darkroom, I tried processing a roll of Ektachrome, just to see how it went. It turned out OK, but it was a lot of work and and in the end I still had to mount the slides. Of course, you couldn't do that with Kodachrome.

Wonder what happened to all those processing machines that were in every mall in north america?

Good question. But they were for print film, not slides, which were sent to larger labs.

They were all C41 process (for print film), slide/transparency use E6, which some labs still do. Some places still have C41 machines, generally only run them once or twice a week.
