For European customers Frame24 is the closest (both in ease of use and pricewise) to buying directly from Kodak: Http://www.frame24ltd.co.uk
Re: Kodak Online Film Ordering is Open
I would wait and see what the next few months bring. The new camera, new lab in NYC, and new process/scan package deals have yet to be released. I'm thinking Kodak NYC might be a new worldwide hub for S8 film/process/scan... Just like Kodak Switzerland used to handle all of our pre-paid Kodachrome.kuparikettu wrote:For European customers Frame24 is the closest (both in ease of use and pricewise) to buying directly from Kodak: Http://www.frame24ltd.co.uk

Re: Kodak Online Film Ordering is Open
There is an European Kodak lab now in UK: http://www.kodak.com/us/en/corp/press_c ... efault.htm
It'll be interesting to see how these things develop. Considering that in order to join the Kodak's new super-8 network one has to live in certain countries (for example, Germany -- Finland isn't one of them) it might be possible that there will be several Kodak hubs spread in different countries: NYC, UK iDailies, Germany? While thus far there hasn't been any word on Germany, we do know that Andec is expanding its laboratory capacities, part of which is stopping E-6 processing...

Re: Kodak Online Film Ordering is Open
What's really interesting is how Kodak is changing their entire motion picture film business model with this lab. They used to just sell the film and the chemicals.
I guess they had to ensure that there was a lab left, but that puts those few remaining labs in a tough situation. For those labs to survive this long and then have Kodak put them out of business is tough.

I didn't realise that Andec are stopping E-6. That's bad news. They are really good at this. Where did you hear it ?kuparikettu wrote:There is an European Kodak lab now in UK: http://www.kodak.com/us/en/corp/press_c ... efault.htm

On Andec's website:
"Due to large-scale refurbishment works and increase of capacity of the laboraty section, we will stop processing of color-reversal at October 6th, 2016. Processing shall be done by Super 8 Reversal Lab Netherland (www.super8.nl). Delivery shall be appropriately extended. In case of urgent request, please feel free to contact directly Super 8 Reversal Lab Netherland. "
http://andecfilm.de/en/e_start_new.html
It's really no surprise though -- at the moment there are no companies producing new E-6 film. Wittner is selling its last batch of Wittnerchrome 200D and Provia 100F sold by Retro Enterprises is so expensive that quite few buy it.
However, what I have read is that should someone bring to market a new E-6 film next year, Andec will reassess the situation and could resume E-6 processing.

Re: Kodak Online Film Ordering is Open
Thanks for that info. Lets hope when Ferrania begin in earnest, Andec will resume E-6. Because I film in Ultra-16 I need very clean processing without any wear right across the width of the film, and Andec always fulfill this requirement. I've never sent any film to http://www.super8.nl and I didn't even realise they processed 16mm. Has anyone here had any 16mm results from them ?kuparikettu wrote:On Andec's website:
