Well, they’re just out of the reds just as of early 2016, and the press announcement says the new camera will come with a new color reversal stock designed especially for Super8, and that they’re also working on more new stocks they’ll release in Super8.

Wrong again. In their press announcement for the new camera, Kodak says their majority of revenue still comes from film.

They won’t have to be dark with 400, 500, and 800 ASA negative stocks available from Kodak and Fuji.

Again, you’re most likely talking about the dirt. I can clearly see it on her face.

It’s a fact that most active Super8 filmers nowadays are prosumers who get telecines to edit digitally.

The carts are always the same, no matter what stock.

The K-Lab I’m talking about could be loaded on a small lorry in one piece. I’m not talking about the huge factory you required for any other formats, especially the movie versions.

When it comes to my favorite stocks to be revived (even if only in negative, or still photography), there’s the two stocks that had the…

Why? Super8 is not a video format like Video8 or Hi-8. It’s reel film.

Never heard of what a so-called “niche” product is? Super8 is a lot like vinyl, only with more advantages over digital, including range of color, contrast, and latitude, and possible level of saturation without nasty digital artifacts. Digital requires lots of expensive grading to look anywhere near that good. No…

But Kodak is still around as a functional company, just now out of the reds. They only had their debts paid by the government and spun off their amateur still photography division into Kodak Alaris, which is owned by the Kodak UK Pension Fund.

He’s responded in general to your complaint, not specifically regarding this clip or stock, by referring to a personal preference. And there *IS* such a thing as optically invisible grain because of how fine-grained a film is, and how slow it is. Take Kodachrome 25 and 40, or Vision3 50D. There’s many, many digital…

Well, you can still buy working projectors for as low as 10 bucks on eBay, you still get them serviced by dedicated third-party workshops, and you can still get spare parts.

Oh, 500 years was the darkroom stability of Kodachrome. No other color stock to come remotely close to it. Archival prints are made on three b/w strips, one for red, blue, and green, respectively.

That’s a weird definition of “not making film anymore” when you’re caught talking hogwash and then try to keep moving your signposts. Now you try to limit the definition of “film” to 35mm still photography stock. And not even that’s true, as the professional division in Rochester is still manufacturing Ektar100 and…

I’ve also recently seen one similarly conspicious 4-page article in DER SPIEGEL which acted like Fuji would make no money on film whatsoever, when what the article used were exclusively the figures on 35mm still photography color reversal, while the article disguised the figures on negative and movie film as “Imaging…

Yes, but that only refers to what is now Kodak Alaris. They spun off their amateur still photography division into Kodak Alaris, which was widely misreported in the press as “selling all film-related stuff”, just like Chapt. 11 was misreported as “Kodak going out of business”, when it was really just the government…

Kodachrome could be done in a professional minilab with 35mm still photography slides since the 90s. Google “K-Lab”. One unit is known to still exist, bought by an American from a scrapyard where it was only minutes from demolition.

They won’t have to be dark with 400, 500, and 800 ASA negative stocks available from Kodak and Fuji.

Super8 didn’t stop being the dominant home movie format until the advent of Hi-8 in 1988, and another large chunk of hobbyists left the format with DV that came up around the mid-to-late 90s. In fact, Agfa didn’t stop their production of amateur Moviechrome Super8 stock before 1994, and still honored its pre-paid…

Specs say it’s gonna have 9, 12, 18, 24, and 25 fps. Some blogs have remakered that it looks remarkably like the Danish-made Logmar Super8 camera which came out in 2014, and where a smartphone can be used as a controller to create timelapse.
