Super 8 is Dead - Long Live Super 8
Like the demise of the slide projector, Kodak announced they will discontinue sales of its S8 KODACHROME 40 film.
All is not lost to those who favour the retro, in the place of KODACHROME comes the "super-saturated, fine grain KODAK EKTACHROME 64T Color Reversal Film 7280." It should be available in August 2005.
"Introduced in 1965, Super 8 film has found new life with each new generation of filmmakers that continue to embrace the format," said Bob Mayson, general manager and vice president for Image Capture products, Entertainment Imaging division at Eastman Kodak Company. "Forty years after its introduction, this small-gauge film still provides an easy, inexpensive way for students and enthusiasts to work at film resolutions and color depths as yet unmatched by the latest digital technologies."
