Don't worry, I'm only kidding! TO be honest it was more the fact it seemed to fit the Dr Strangelove reference than any attempt at factual accuracy that had me posting...
I'm not sure why this thread has me thinking of Dr Strangelove though. Maybe it's those damn commies taking our precious bodily fluids/Kodachrome away!
Another day goes under; a little bourbon will take the strain...

E100GX discontinued?!
Originally Posted by Ektagraphic Thank you! They still offer SIX diffrent Ektachrome emulsions! I think that quite a few in this highly digital age. It's only four Ektachrome emulsions left in 120 format: E100G, E100VS, EPP100 Plus and the 64T and only one in 220 format: E100VS.
Apparently there is a discontinuation notice on B&H regarding Ektachrome E100GX in 120 format, I don't know whether this means B&H does not carry it anymore or Kodak decided to discontinue it.
E100GX is still listed on Kodak site but I don't see whether is available in both 135 and 120 format...

The Ilford patent shows what is essentially the same as in my diagram and was granted in 1975, about 20 years after the Kodak work. It shows a slide hopper, but includes a curtain coater in the abstract. Kodak is now using the multi curtain coater, not shown in any diagrams in the patent. Figure 4 in that patent shows a single layer curtain coater.

In that publication you will find the available sizes.

They still make a Tungsten film? Damn. I wouldn't think that would be sustainable, at all.
Ars Technica has a good look-back on Kodachrome: http://arstechnica.com/media/news/20...epresented.ars

Ektachrome 64T is a great film. It works great in daylight (with and 85B filter) and tungsten conditions. Most of the Ektachrome 64T I shoot is in super 8.

I'm starting to think I may be the most unlucky photographer in the world. In 2007 I tried IR photography and enjoyed the results, only to have Kodak discontinue HIE soon after. I buy an SX-70 and start getting into Polaroid around the end of 2007, and in 2008 Polaroid discontinues all their film. And now, in 2009, I start shooting Kodachrome, and since the discontinuation was considering trying E100GX as a "replacement." Also, Kentmere Kentona was one of my favorite papers for lith printing, and that too, has been discontinued.
Sigh.

Sigh. Hrm. You could be onto something here with your bad misfortune pattern.
Try picking up a Canon 5D and maybe you'll kill Canon digital by 2010. Then we can get to work on all the other digital hardware brands, too.

Sigh. Please do not ever use TriX.
