Kodak Brings Back a Classic with EKTACHROME FilmLas Vegas, NV, Thursday, January 05, 2017 -- To the delight of film enthusiasts across the globe, Eastman Kodak Company today announced plans to bring back one of its most iconic film stocks. Over the next 12 months, Kodak will be working to reformulate and manufacture KODAK EKTACHROME Film for both motion picture and still photography applications. Initial availability is expected in the fourth quarter of 2017. KODAK EKTACHROME Film has a distinctive look that was the choice for generations of cinematographers before it was discontinued in 2012. The film is known for its extremely fine grain, clean colors, great tones and contrasts............... ..................................................
From the Kodak announcement: “Sales of professional photographic films have been steadily rising over the last few years, with professionals and enthusiasts rediscovering the artistic control offered by manual processes and the creative satisfaction of a physical end product. The reintroduction of one of the most iconic films is supported by the growing popularity of analog photography and a resurgence in shooting film. Resurgence in the popularity of analog photography has created demand for new and old film products alike.” Ektachrome is a color reversal film and was first developed in the 1940's. Used for decades by National Geographic photographers, it's been long favored it due to its fine grain and excellent color reproduction. So come the end of 2017, you'll once again be able to pick up a 35mm roll of it. And you've likely got a bearded, glasses-wearing hipster with a turntable to thank for that.
