It is available in 50' rolls! Break out the bulk loader and be happy.

 

They only mention:

 

35mm 400 Core 8003675

35mm 1000 Core 8003667

35mm 2000 Core 8003741

 

Thats 400, 1000, and 2000 ft rolls.... A little large for most bulk loaders....

 

The only 50 I see is the ISO, ISO 50....

You are right, swamiji! When I went to the link I could swear it had pop-ups for various products, including the one in question and it was available in 50' rolls.

 

By the tech data, I was so very wrong.

 

Thanks for the correction.

That is why I have a bench winder and darkroom.

 

I suppose I could spool off 100` lengths.

 

If this is motion pic film, it has a backing that needs to be removed in process and labs set up to do it. I would probably make a mess in my darkroom.

I happen to use Vision 3 single perf 100' loads in my 16mm Eclair ACL (converted to super 16) with Zeiss primes. It's an amazing and wonderful emulsion.

 

Don't forget that Kodak sells a lot of motion picture film and their emulsion technology often gets passed on down to 35mm still camera film offerings. The new Portra 400 emulsion comes from their Vision 3 technology.

This is terribly ambiguous. I'm surprised their marketing people allowed this ad." Film is dead; so are we" is not the message they are trying to send. I hope they change this ad.

 

I think KODAK message is related to the rumors regarding their bankruptcy. On my own understanding also it's like a reverse message of "featuring KODAK VISION3 50D Color Negative Film, Who said film is dead?" :)

It may be, but the message is in the way it's received by the potential customer. Unfortunately, I see it as a negative message as far as Kodak is concerned. I don't want that. I want to keep being reassured that Kodak film is available.:):)

Just go out, buy some, use it. Stop worrying.

Is it available for Leicina cameras? Otherwise...:rolleyes:

 

Otherwise what? I don't really get your point, Jaap. I know you've virtually eliminated all discussion of every other camera brand on the digital forum, but the introduction of a totally new film? How is that not of interest to members participating on the film forum? As others have mentioned, the new Portra originated as motion picture stock.

Can't you take a joke? Or even read as far as Jaap's smiley if you hadn't previously realised that he was making one?
