Hey Folks,
I don't want to go into the night quietly on the topic of the super 8 film stocks we grew up with and love fading into memory like Barney Miller, typewriters or minibikes. Somethings one has to give up, but really great super 8 reversal films should not be among them. They are still damn useful. So I, like I'm sure some of you have already have written to Kodak beseeching them to reintroduce some of they're now discontinued stocks such as the surprisingly great Ektachrome 100D. I got a response back right away from a Mr. Christopher Veronda in Communications. Of course he said it's not like "flicking a switch" and it starts happening again - and he said he would forward my letter on, but in a follow up he said everyone there was quite gratified at the outpouring they receive about wanting the old stocks back and the fact that they still make motion picture film in any form at all.
I'm not saying flood these people with letters all at once, but can some of you (I hope most of you are) who are still interested in actually making films on Super 8, let Kodak know how you feel and what you want?!
Hell, someone somewhere still makes Idaho Spud candy bars and I don't know anybody who eats those! Kodak can certainly reboot their reversal film line. I pointed out to him that several unscrupulous people are trying to sell the expired version on eBay for $150 or more a pop!
No one can tell me there ain't a market for it. I'm good for 50 or so rolls a year if they start up again. Are you in?!
