Kodak still on track to bring back to life EKTACHROME film

By PR admin | Published: November 17, 2017


Despite the reported $46 million loss and recent layoffs, Kodak is still on track to bring back to life EKTACHROME film in 2018:

“The process is coming along really well,” Kodak says. “We’ve been busy testing and making sure it meets all the expectations that exist in this passionate community.”

Kodak is using “all new equipment” on a much smaller scale to make the film, bringing costs down for smaller manufacturing runs. Continuing to produce the film had been cost-prohibitive before, but now that’s becoming less of a factor.

Kodak is aiming to reassure fans that “this is the real deal” — the actual return of Ektachrome and not just a poor imitation with a catchy name.

Technical drawings of not yet released Fuji mirrorless camera (Fuji X-A5?)

By PR admin | Published: November 15, 2017


Fuji has at least two upcoming cameras that are expected to be announced in the next 1-3 months. The drawings of a not yet released Fuji mirrorless camera were recently submitted to the FCC. The camera will have a new communication module TYPE 1 FJ (wireless standard: WLAN 802.11 b/g/n + Bluetooth). As FujiAddcit noted, this could be the Fuji X-A5 that is expected to replace the current X-A3 that was announced in August, 2016:

"Because the communication module differs from X-E3 (and FF 170002), it seems to be an illustration of FF 170003 registered in another certification body. Judging from strap fasteners and dial placement, it is the rumored X-A5"

Here is the side view:
