Yo, Jakestir, what was it you wanted to do with the last roll of film? You'll have to wait a bit longer. This makes about 9 new or improved film types that Kodak has introduced since August 29, 2005. Go KODAK! Quote:

New KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTAR 100 Film Provides Photographers with the World’s Finest-Grain Colour Negative Film
LONDON, September 9, 2008 – Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) continues to champion professional photographers and set new standards in professional film with the new KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTAR 100 (EKTAR 100) film. This new film, with ISO 100 speed, high saturation and ultra-vivid colour, offers the finest, smoothest grain of any colour negative film available today.
“Photography has always been about capturing a moment or story and sharing it, with just a few or with the world,” said Mary Jane Hellyar, president, Film, Photofinishing & Entertainment Group and executive vice president, Eastman Kodak Company. “It is often the smallest details that mark the difference between a good photograph and one that stands out and becomes memorable. With our new EKTAR 100 film, we’ve created a film that helps the photographer capture unprecedented detail in remarkably vivid colour. This film continues a Kodak tradition of providing photographers with the highest quality films that expand the range over which they can create outstanding images.”
EKTAR 100 Film is the ideal choice for commercial photographers and advanced amateurs for applications such as nature, travel, fashion and product photography where the emphasis is often on colour. The new film incorporates KODAK VISION Motion Picture Film Technology to achieve its unparalleled fine grain. It’s perfect for photographers who prefer the ease of working with 35mm, and who look for extraordinary enlargement capability when scanning and printing.

Not everyone is a "spray and pray" photog (edited when I realized who the other poster was ) Added to what Jeff said, why did you think that they make film backs? I know a film shooter (wildlife) that brings back a couple of hundred 36 exposure rolls from his shoots.
Personally, I think that shooting film helped me be a better digital photographer.
Speaking of film... Wayne... tap tap tap... where are the images???? |

I know a lot of film devotees will pooh-pooh this, but from what I've read it gives a real film look to digital files, and it's supposed to be really good at it. http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/

I'm not sure the emulsion on the film would be very absorbant. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode | |
