Advertisement Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Hi stunsworth, Take a look here Kodak to discontinue Elite Chrome. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

gyoung Posted November 6, 2011 Share #3 Posted November 6, 2011 Apologies if it's already been mentioned - mods, feel free to delete this thread if that's the case.. Details here... KODAK 35mm Slide Film Thats the amateur film going, just like Fuji Sensia I suppose, the 'Extra' still seems to be available if you like that sort of thing, and the 100G which I like much better. They don't have a fast film available anymore either, 200 went last spring, leaves the field clear for Fuji. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted November 6, 2011 ?..the 'Extra' still seems to be available if you like that sort of thing... One of the worst films I've ever used. Makes Velvia look low contrast and lacking saturation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted November 7, 2011 Share #5 Posted November 7, 2011 Not my experience. I believe it is the amateur version of E100G. A shame. I hope there will still be some slide film available for the foreseeable future... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamey Posted November 7, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 7, 2011 Hope this doesn't continue with other films, just love shooting slide film. Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted November 7, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not my experience. I believe it is the amateur version of E100G David, I was referring to the high saturatyon extra colour version of the film. I never shot much 100G, but was impressed with the results.

NZDavid Posted November 7, 2011 Share #8 Posted November 7, 2011 Ah yes, I quite agree. They can get rid of the Extra Color by all means! I think manufacturers need to keep with a good allround medium speed slide film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarnman Posted November 7, 2011 Share #9 Posted November 7, 2011 Though not color, I like the fact most all B&W negative film can be reversed processed. dr5 CHROME - Black and White transparency process + THE ONLY RELIABLE SCALA PROCESSING WORLDWIDE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveYork Posted November 9, 2011 Share #11 Posted November 9, 2011 Too bad. It was similar to ektachrome 100g. And it was more affordable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clickie McPete Posted November 10, 2011 Share #12 Posted November 10, 2011 I hate to see ANY film discontinued. It's bad for everyone whether it was your favorite film or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Posted November 10, 2011 Share #13 Posted November 10, 2011 It’s been many years since I shot film. Is it possible that some of this film has been discontinued in consumer canisters and still availabe on large roll? I used to load my own canisters years ago from bulk film rolls.

AlanG Posted November 10, 2011 Share #14 Posted November 10, 2011 If Elite chrome is aimed at amateurs I don't know why it is called "Kodak Professional Elite 100 Film." I always assumed that pro film was held to tighter standards and more rigorous storage than amateur and hobbyist films were. I looked at the technical product sheets for Elite and E100G and they look to be pretty much identical to me. (Maybe I missed something.) The E100G does state that it should last 80 years in dark storage and I didn't see any statement for Elite. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/documents/bf/0900688a80316bbf/E7014e.pdf http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/e4024/e4024.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarnman Posted November 11, 2011 Share #15 Posted November 11, 2011 I always assumed that pro film was held to tighter standards and more rigorous storage than amateur and hobbyist films were. It's been my understanding "professional" film is manufactured at the rated ISO and kept at that rating as long as it's refrigerated. It's for consistency professionals need for an expected results. It's also my understanding "Consumer" film's ISO rating is manufactured with the intention of a "self" life. Over time, that film's iso rating would eventually match the rating on the box OR be close enough to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted November 11, 2011 Share #16 Posted November 11, 2011 More or less, but generally applies to other characteristics as well, such as colour balance, etc. Pro film such as sheet Ektacolor also came with a sheet giving actual ASA for that batch, nearly always slightly slower as far as I remember! The cynical thought is that the 'amateur' films were merely batches of the pro emulsion that failed to reach spec. We always thought this 'sales technique' happened with Ektachrome 200, which seemed to have no finer grain than the 400. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
myshkine Posted November 11, 2011 Share #17 Posted November 11, 2011 Too bad. It was similar to ektachrome 100g. And it was more affordable. I agree. It was not a bad film. And also agree with those who express regret any time a film is discontinued. And in any case I really hope Fuji is not left alone in the field...
