Original Coupon Deal

Not sure why the code works as it is meant for auto parts? Anyway, it brings Kodak Ektar 100 down to $19.20 per roll.

Being the finest colour negative film it preserves stunning details and vivid colours.

Here is a nice exposure guide/review for this film. I highly recommend watching if you do manual metering to make the most of its exposure latitude.

      Seems they have a stockpile of unused film.
      Guess the business isn't getting enough exposure.

        Not sure if this deal is good, so I will see how it develops.

          It’s captured my interest

          Posting it on this site has given it good exposure

    • Cluster on 09/09/2024 - 14:47

      There is no film expiry date in the listing

  • Porker on 09/09/2024 - 15:02

    Off question - What's the craze or drive to bring back film?

    • DevilsInDetails on 09/09/2024 - 15:13

      For 35mm it’s mainly for fun. For medium formats or larger I guess it’s due to the crazy price point to get into any decent digital systems?

      So many used medium format film cameras/lenses available in the market.

      Same reason LP records are now popular.

      Madness.

      Film, LP records, VHS, DVD and indeed all physical media are obsolete rubbish that will never come back. These are now fringe contrarian hobbies.

        How much movies and music do you own? "Own" it digitally? Well you don't

        • DevilsInDetails on 09/09/2024 - 16:24

          Reminds me of how some online streaming platforms DELETE the movies/series that you “bought”… Best practice would still be getting discs or at least local file copies.

          • HaydosK on 09/09/2024 - 17:10

            @DevilsInDetails: Yes exactly. Everyone should be buying discs for movies and series they like and like you said ripping them to use them locally. You don't even need to use piracy for all the ones that have the best quality available for purchase but you will for streaming exclusives (I hate that they give you no opinion but whine about piracy). You will never need to worry about Amazon removing your purchased shows and streaming services removing exclusive content like Disney+ and HBO Max has done

      Some people lack focus.

      The two things that really drew me to film: the inconvenience and the expense.

      Art is suffering.

    • Cluster on 09/09/2024 - 15:32

      People like the colour, grain, and visual appeal of film. It can of course be reproduced with Adobe, but some people want the full analog experience. It's like LPs. The sound is distorted to sound 'warmer' but some people like it that way.

    actually ..not a bad price at all. I kind of remember paying something like that price even 10 years ago when I worked at a small camera shop in brisbane that was importing/reselling film from b&h using airfreight.

    love ektar 100 - though these days i really just prefer to shoot digital and stuff around with vsco/RNI presets

    • DevilsInDetails on 09/09/2024 - 15:18

      Just curious, how does Ektar 100 in 35mm compare to a 20mp digital in terms of resolving power? I understand Ektar is designed to be scanned, right?

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 09/09/2024 - 15:29

        I never even bothered to look that far into it tbh - I remember a rep coming through when I was working camera retail who went on basically a rant, how you can’t compare film to digital resolving power (something about quantising?) but as far as I know, digital sensor tech has come far enough to already well surpass film, at least on paper stats anyway.

        Plus, short of getting a proper film lab setup to scan, high detail scans take ages… though again , it’s prob been literally 10 years since putting my epson v700 into storage because I just could not be forked stuffing around with it. Computer performance has come a long way too so maybe scanning is less pain in the ass now…. Cept I haven’t bothered printing larger than a1 prints in many years…

          Thanks mate. And wow that rep even mentioned quantising?

          Digital camera sensors mostly rely on a Bayer filter to record colour, but the results we see are in fact a consequence of de-mosaic algorithms. For a standard Bayer filter sensor, the real resolving power for either R or B is approximately 1/4 of the whole pixel count, while G being 1/2. Colour corrections/algorithms are done either in-camera or by post-editing softwares if shooting RAW. I guess that makes some people feel that digital’s colour isn’t “real”, bringing the discussion down to a philosophical narrative.

          Ironically, Bayer filter array was introduced by Bryce Bayer of Kodak Eastman.

    Is there anywhere left to get it developed?

    • DevilsInDetails on 09/09/2024 - 19:51

      In Melbourne there are more than enough labs.

  • Ozymandias on 09/09/2024 - 20:04

    Great deal, just wished I liked the feel of Ektar more. I'm a sucker for Portra 800.
