Kodak has come out with a new super fine-grained film to replace UC100. Has anyone tried it yet? From the few samples I've seen, it looks great for landscape work and still-lifes but portraiture might be a bit problematic due to the high contrast involved. |

It was scheduled for release this month but as yet I haven't found anyone in the UK that stocks it.
There is a FAQ on the Kodak site about it and which states that Kodak don't recommend it for portrait use.
I shot Ektar 25 years ago and was looking forward to trying this film to see how it compared. I will definitely be getting a roll whenever it appears on shop shelves though. |

Nobody over here appears to have it yet Bill, or if they have, they're not saying.  |

I just got a whole bunch film off ebay including one roll of Kodachome 64. I
don't know where I would send it to have it developed, though. These guys
ran out of Ektar in 2 days:

Still want to order some, but at the moment have plenty of Kodak 100. |

I still have two out of three K64s to finish. I sent the first one off to Lausanne as instructed and got the slides back from Dwaynes after about 3 weeks. I'm going to try sending the next one to Dwaynes direct. I was a bit unhappy with the slides too - still the old Kodak cardboard mounts, but they weren't numbered or dated like they used to be, and they came in a cheap and nasty thin cardboard box, not the familiar handy yellow plastic box.

Thanks, Bob, sounds like an elongated/extraneous bullshit process. Any
one want a roll of K-64? |

I have a few rolls, but haven't burned it yet. I gave some to a buddy, he burned, scanned and printed some of them. It looks to be VERY good.

Since Kodak announced the discontuance of 400UC, I went out and tried the newer Portra VC film. It's really good. Now I don't feel so bad about losing the 400UC film.
