It’s Back! Kodak to Resurrect ECKTACHROME Slide Film

At last CES, Kodak surprised the world with the announcement of a Super 8mm film camera. This year, they’ve doubled down on film with a plan to resurrect EKTACHROME slide film in the fourth quarter of the year.

The film, which was discontinued in 2012, will be compatible with 135-36x cameras. The film is developed using an E6 process and Kodak will update its Professional Film app with a list of locations that will be able to develop the slide film.

Beyond the still film, Kodak also plans to launch an EKTACHROME Super 8 film to support its Super 8 movie camera.

Pricing on the new films wasn’t announced.

“Film is our heritage and we remain committed to meeting the evolving needs of today’s film shooters,” said Dennis Olbrich, President – Kodak Alaris Imaging Paper, Photo Chemicals and Film in a statement announcing the new film. “We’ve been listening to the needs and desires of photographers over the past several years and wanted to bring back a color reversal film. In assessing the opportunity, EKTACHROME was the clear choice.”
