Kodak stops production of Ektachrome 100D

Double-perf in 16mm eh ? That's interesting. So it's theoretically possible to get those old magazine cameras running the stuff. Also some effects could be easier.

I don't see Regular 8mm on that list! I thought they had the tool made so they could supply it.

They are starting from 16mm and super-8 and quite probably will be bringing it to DS8 and 8mm (and single-8?) a bit later.

Hey grainy, you've obviously never seen a quality 8mm to 16mm if you believe the digital version looks better. I normally would ignore such a statement, but trying to kill time during an upload. For those interested , digital does look good if properly scanned, see Brian Fryes new film, "Our Nixon", beautiful super8 to digital, but he would and I, digital doesn't compare to an optical blowup to 16mm. I've been doing such for ten years.and there is a reason why I continue.

Robbie, you are right and I take back everything I said except for the part about digital looking good. I was typing between thoughts and have spent so much time explaining to people how super 8 IS a viable projecting medium (because of digital) that I veered off course and said something that was wrong.
The one obvious benefit of digital OVER a 16mm blow-up is that most theaters can project digital very well now, whereas finding a theater with a working 16mm projector is difficult.
