I feel like if this was a new emulsion Kodak would be shouting that from the rooftops. So, the real question, is it Pro Image 100 & ColorPlus or some version of their new AHU cinema films packaged for C-41 processing. Either way, it’s exciting that Kodak Eastman is putting out 35mm film directly.
I don't think it's cinema films. I compared the thickness between that and a CineStill, and it's not as thick. CineStill is thicker because of the resistance it needs to have by going over the sprocket gears when moving film fast (motion picture).
Indeed, I was going to write about the Eastman thing, but preferred to stay with the technical part and the photos. But I think this is a win for us, consumers!
The film revival perfectly mirrors our burnout with digital perfection, much like the vinyl record boom resists streaming's ephemerality. People are yearning for slowness and tangibility.
Considering this growing desire for analog resistance, what 'old-fashioned' technology do you predict will be the next major trend among teens and millennials?
I woke up early, placed an order at K&M in Manhattan, bought the film with my own money, rushed to photograph two rolls, developed, scanned, converted, and wrote about it. Rest assured that this is not the case here. I did all that today.
Thanks my friend! I also hate when companies do first release to "influencers" first (which I am far from being one). I think that every serious content creator should be inspired and do what I did today, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That reminded me to update the post. I added a note at the very end saying that I bought using my own money and writing posts like this require a huge amount of dedication, and of course, asked if people can be a paid sub : )
Such a thorough write up!

Oh, that makes a lot of sense, never thought about that!

Definitely a win!

Cool, I look forward to the results. I hope to purchase some tomorrow or Monday. I’m excited to try it.
