My guess is that it will be a pricey service, aimed at archivists or those serious about their scans. Kodachrome has a reputation for scanning with a blue tint, so this service will be of use to those with lots of old slides.

New Multispectral Film Scanner Is a Breakthrough for Analog Photography One of few major photographic film scanning innovations of the 21st century.

Another Kodachrome article out today, about Film Rescue International, the lab in Alberta, Canada that processes old film, including Kodachrome (the latter in B&W). They built a hi-res scanner that they hope archivists will clamor for.

Kodachrome 25 K14 - My first and last ever 2 rolls and remembering the ContaxG Pages site Linc told me that the Kodachrome 25 was better than the 64, I've now no way of finding that out anymore. But at least I managed to shoot two rolls

Ah, Kodachrome. Much lamented, Ibraar Hussain reviews what little of Kodachrome 25 (ISO 25) film he had back in the day. K64 (ISO 64) was much more popular at the time, but K25 offered much more detail, at the least. #believeinfilm #analogphotography

Harman Phoenix II Film Review: Crunchy Pastels Harman Phoenix II is a new color negative film that is a significant improvement on its predecessor, but won't appeal to everyone.

Jaron Schneider gives a review of Harman Phoenix II on PetaPixel. Crunchy pastels, he says. The colours look natural to me, maybe not neon bright or saturated. Though not suitable for a half-frame camera due to grain? #believeinfilm #analogphotography

Hey #believeInFilm friends,

I checked 31 film prices across 8 stores in 3 currencies and compared that against data for the past 7 years.

Looks like film prices are up by 9% since the beginning of this year:

Dmitri gives the details on the new Harman Phoenix II film released today. Most retailers seem to have this film available. The 35mm variant ranging from $14 to $20 pre-tax. In the UK, around β‚€13 - which probably includes VAT. #believeinfilm #analogphotography

Hey #believeinfilm friends

Last year, Polaroid updated its B&W 600 chemistry.

Last month, I spent several packs of the new and the old frames, to determine what changed and whether this new film can be shot in UNMODIFIED SX-70 cameras:

Kentmere Pan 200 and a Contax 137 MA Quartz/ZEISS 50mm f/1.7 I had no nits to pick with Kentmere’s 100 and 400 films, but to my eyes, this 200 variant is better. Very nice tones. Relatively low grain

Eric L. Wood posted a review of the new Kentmere 200 B&W film on 35mmc. Lots of photos for comparison and he includes links to his own blog for even more pics. #believeinfilm #analogphotography

More AI slop. First, an update to the earlier posts about @aymenfilmm, an account that shares AI-generated images and labels them as film. They have disabled comments and quotes on their account. #editorial.

Dimitri is digging up more fake AI film photography in his feeds. In this case, a lab uses a generated image in promo material. The camera depicted is weird and lacks a back, even. #believeinfilm
