Film isn’t dead…yet. Film is fighting to stay alive as long as possible, and it’s nice to see Kodak hasn’t thrown in the towel completely. While Kodak did announce the discontinuation in June, of their popular and iconic Kodachrome 35mm color film, concluding a 74-year history, there are still several quality films still available. In fact Kodak released seven new professional films over the last three years including Portra 160NC and VC, Portra 400NC and VC, Portra 800, and upgraded T-MAX 400 and Ektar 100 films.
Shutterbug magazine recently took a closer look at Kodak’s Ektar 100 color negative film for Medium Format (120). Amazingly Kodak released the 120 version due to popular demand. It’s nice to see film still commands some level of power in an increasing digital world. According to Kodak the new Ektar 120 film is “the finest, smoothest grain of any color negative film available today.”
