    I am interested in this film and espcially how they intend it to be developed.

    Thanks,

    Lachlan

    We have no information on how to process it, and what the minimum order is.

    I've never heard of thermally developed film

    Please, post. I'm intensely curious.

    The way I calculate it, at 24,000 asa, with nothing but moonlight for illumination that would be in the range of f/2 and 1/15th.

    That's definately within the realm of tripod-optional night photography.

    Pictures of how this can be used fill my brain.

    PE, I'm definitely interested. I would have liked to have made it to the conference, but am a bit too busy at the moment.

    Thanks,
    Helen

    Kodak Order form for Experimental Film

    Ok, here goes.

    A thermally developed film uses only heat for processing, no special processing chemicals. When done with the heat step, the image is stable and light insensitive.

    There are lots of thermally developed films on the market at this time, mostly for medical imaging, but also for other types of rapid access imaging. One of the pioneers in this field was Grant Haist.

    Kodak is doing this to test the market for this product. It is an unprecedented step for them so be nice. Don't spoil things by abusing the e-mail addresses of these people.

    As you see from the form, the processing instructions are included, but Kodak may offer to process it for you so that they can monitor the results. IDK.

    Basically, you use a heated metal plate and you hold the film on the plate (in the industry it is called a hot shoe) and the film develops. Don't inhale the fumes.

    And, you tell them your minimum order. Thats the way this will work.

    BTW, this does NOT guarantee production of the film, nor does it guarantee results. You see it says EXPERIMENTAL FILM. This is a FIRST ladies and gentllemen.

    160 degrees Celsius? My first thought was, the film is going to melt at that temperature.

    I gather from the form that it is only going to be in roll film, so, my next question is: How much for how much? Pat

    I have processed at up to 200 deg C.

    As for cost, I wish I knew.

    Size? Who knows. Give it a try with some sheet film requests. They probably could cut it that way. Experimental coatings are routinely made in 4x5 'chops' but on 5 mil estar instead of 7 mil or 2 mil. It depends.
