B&W seems like a simple thing. Maybe not.

Reversal camera films designed to capture the full range of contrast and more of the subtle gradations between full, rich blacks and crisp, clean whites. From minimization of grain and the addition of EASTMAN KEYKODE Numbers, to higher speeds without grain penalty, our new films are better than ever. They're designed to reduce static, resulting in cleaner images from origination to print. And an improved bleach process eliminates use of heavy metals and creates less precipitate in the tank. Making the film more environmentally friendly and easier to maintain.

There are only a handful of labs that still process KODACHROME film.

The color reversal motion picture films being discontinued are the VNF films:

This decision has not been taken lightly and is brought about by two fundamental reasons. Kodak’s proactive
environmental strategy calls for the elimination of several component parts in these products and falling sales
volume due to lack of demand. Unfortunately, this combination of factors prohibits our ability to enter into a
research and development program to re-engineer these products. You can imagine, we are very disappointed to
have to make this decision.

KODAK EKTACHROME 100D - 5285/7285
Now you have a 100-speed color reversal motion picture film designed for daylight. Whether you're shooting ads, music videos, documentaries, television, or features, it delivers intensely saturated color, plus a neutral gray scale and accurate skin tones. All with a sharpness you won't find in any other 100-speed reversal film.
