DS8 7285 100D Kodak order

[mr8mm]

Kodak has agreed to to make one last run of 7285 DS8 400ft cat#1861681. This is the last DS8 100D until the end of time. If interested in ordering 100D ds8, please let me know and I will include with my order.

That means no more 100D in DS8 in the future?? bad news for doublesupereighters...

[mr8mm]

Not totally. Both Wittner and I will stock a sizable amount but Kodak will make no more after this run. And when Wittner is out that will be the end.

According to Wittner statements the film-material needed for Super-8 cartridges will remain available as DS-8 long rolls as these are the basis for filling Super-8 cartridges.

S8 is never perforated in one run of 8mm with S8 holes. First it is DS8 which will be slit and then routed into S8 cartridges.

Based on that statement I decided to invest in a DS-8 camera ALthoug I would appreciate something less light-sensitive. 100D is too much and DOF sabotages every attempt to play sharpness zones. Of course ND's help a bit.

One would hope that some other film business would dedicate itself to film somewhat more.
FUJIfilm? They still are strong in the market and even have a full range of instant-film products.

Considering that this was always a niche format its incredible that its been around this long. But doesn't Fomapan offer a B&W reversal stock in DS8?

[Mana]

Yes, there is still Foma, Orwo, and Kahl offers both color and B&W stocks. To bad the dollar sucks. I'd be buying a lot of film from the EU.

Funny, when I first saw the title of this thread I thought John intended it for me, as I had just ordered (yesterday) 400ft of 100d DS8! Glad to here it is not from the last batch.

Cheers

John,

How much U.S.D per 400' if I want to piggyback?

[Mana]

400ft roll of 100D DS8 is $149 from John.

FUJIfilm? They still are strong in the market and even have a full range of instant-film products.

And instant cameras! Two days ago I saw these in a shop, in a wide range of colours.

John,

Any information on Regular 8mm?

That last bunch I bought from you should last me a little but if that is going away I would buy more...

You should see what they have in stock in every average photography-shop in Japan itself. Unbelievable. Too bad EU photography-shops are near extinction and only help this process by going fully-digital. Competition on the digital-products market is so plentiful that margins are too thin to make a proper profit from your work.

And there is no news otherwise considering E100d in S8 on their website.

So DS8 stays too.

I'll have to order some for my Scoopic soon. Nice camera and the images are a bit sharper than S8.
