Kodak relaunches Ektachrome film after 6-year absence

It’s been teased for some considerable time, but Kodak has finally launched its Ektachrome film and it’s now shipping worldwide.

Five years after taking it off the shelves, the company believes there’s enough demand for the 35mm color transparency film to give it a second go, a move that looks set to delight long-time film fans in the business of taking stills as well as moving pictures.

Ektachrome is noted for its clean, vibrant colors, and fine grain, with its unique look likely to make it once again a popular choice among film shooters engaged in product, landscape, nature, and fashion photography.

Wow. I'm gnna dust off the vintage slide projector, and buy some slide film for the old Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, and the Olympus XA.

Ektachrome (and Kodachrome) color slides are beautiful.

Does it require Silver in the processing, might give silver a comeback in demand.

Of the slides I took years ago, the Ektachromes have faded over time.
The Kodachromes came through the decades much better.

I scanned them all a few years' back, once digitized they don't fade any more... ;)
