Posting pictures would be difficult as it is now only published in the copyright journal of the ICIS 06. It is not mythical and I really am not happy with that appelation (sorry).
The grain structure appears to be in the range of 400 speed films or better. This has surprised eveyone connected with this project at EK from what I can gather from their presentation at ICIS 06.
I want you to be aware that this was described in the presence of Dr Tadecki Tani of Fuji R&D and one of the inventors, moreover Dr. Tani, one of the inventors and I had dinner together Sunday night. Dr. Tani had no questions or objections to this article which was subject to peer review. This is no myth, it is real.
Please forgive the lack of pictures as this is not mine to post.
To be honest, I only just came across this post. I typically don't look in this forum. I have to imagine a LOT of APUGgers would be interested. I have to agree though, I'm not sure how a typical person would develop this film.
If the film is usable in general photography, and it has the properties decribed here, then it is a sensation. It would be a good reason to get the 35mm camera out of the cellar.
Talk to photo magazines about it, have them run a story about this achievement. Then you can reach a lot more people than here and spread the news faster.
The 24000 iso film is really exciting, and I like the idea of thermal developement. Could one use a clothes iron and just run it over the surface to get it to develope?
I think a reason for the lack of response is that most people can't think of a use for it. I for one would think it would be great for spelunking, and painting with light in situations where you don't want to use a large light.
I think the lack of response is due to the lack of this product even registering with someone casually perusing the forum. It would be and unbelievable thing to have such a film and I think everyone who thought about it for a minute would agree!

I agree, I would love to try/use this film for available light photography. The
lack of interest that may have been displayed could be the unfamiliar factors surrounding the handling/processing of the film, or even feelings of indifference towards Kodak from some.
For those that are interested, but feeling lazy at the moment here's a 'copy and paste' operation for you: use the following attachment to paste this word document into an email.
BTW, I hope Ron Mowrey does not mind the recreating of the posted jpeg into a more easily transmitted form.
