Voting Result

the result of the last poll was rahter surprising for me. i expected that digital is the preferred capture medium but it was a draw. so film isn´t dead yet.

last fall imaging dinosaur KODAK released a new film emulsion called EKTAR 100 in 135 small format. in earlier times the ektar family was a kind of film that was very sharp, very saturated and had very fine grain-structures but it was very slow, like ISO 25 or 64. the new EKTAR 100 implements technologies found in the kodak motion picture emulsions. the new film is said to be able to capture high contrast scenes with ease and is much faster than its predecessors while still incorporating the old virtues. it seems there is still a lot of money in the film business as kodak has now released the EKTAR 100 also as 120 rollfilm. can´t wait to feed it through my Mamiya RZ and the Contax 645.
