Jen, what's in it for us?
I agree with Jeremy, my presence there will be plenty. [Wink] I could be a Film-Tech correspondent and make a complete fool of myself on camera for all of you guys. [Big Grin] Brad, what do ya say?...

Judging from past evidence, you'll have plenty of stiff competition in any "fools on camera" category Jen. Lots o' people tripping over the pattern in the rug at Bally's. [Big Grin]

Hide your cheese....It looks like I'll be there this year too!

As Ian pointed out....Vegas is PACKED this year with other shows. Hotels are VARY scarce and you will be paying top dollar for any particular hotel. I'm actually having to split my stay between two hotels.

Since I'm now spending lots more time working on new camera films, it's unlikely that I will be attending ShoWest this year. [Frown] There will be lots of Kodak Digital Cinema folks, however. [Smile]

The Film-Tech Drink will be on Wednesday evening as usual, from 7pm to midnight at the Summer Bay Resort (100 Winnick Ave). This is right behind Ballys (3645 Las Vegas Blvd).

Extra special thanks to Lighting Images Technology and Dick Niccum for assisting us in getting this location. [Cool]

The actual room number will be posted by Monday evening here. We will have our normal snacks and bar...plus of course cheese for Steve!

Actually, that location is across the street and a couple of short blocks north of Bally's, next to the monorail station that serves the Flamingo Hilton and Imperial Palace. Be careful if it's raining that day. Winnick is the street all of the news crews shoot every time it rains here--the torrents coming out of the Imperial Palace parking structure always make for dramatic swift water rescues and great pictures.

In the meantime, what have you done with all the 100 ASA 35mm still camera negative films, John Pytlak?

In the last month, they seem to have been dropped from drugstores, Wal-Marts, Targets, CAMERA STORES (like Ritz), leaving not an outdated box behind! on the fly, if you're looking for film, 200 ASA is apparently the slowest to be had normally stocked now in MS, AL, GA, & LA.

I would hope that in the barbaric outer lands of snowy wastes, 100 ASA is still available around ski & touristy areas.

I am working on the MOTION-PICTURE films. Kodak still offers a variety of color negative still films, but dealers may not carry all of them, especially the "discount" type stores:

John's long link

quote:
KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Film is the number one choice of professional photographers. Its unique T-GRAIN® Emulsion technology delivers smooth, natural reproduction of the full range of flesh tones, plus exceptional color saturation. And it’s designed to give you consistent results across all PORTRA Film formats and speeds for beautifully matched prints.

From candid to posed, indoors or out, in flash or daylight, PORTRA Film is the consistent choice for natural skin tones and ideal color.


Another long link

quote:
COLOR THAT LEAPS OFF THE PAGE.
ULTRA COLOR Films.

Introducing KODAK PROFESSIONAL ULTRA COLOR Film, with color saturation unsurpassed by other professional-grade color print films. So no matter what you shoot, you'll get deep, rich colors you can practically feel.

• Vivid colors that go beyond your imagination
• Unsurpassed sharpness for amazing clarity
• Extremely fine grain—ideal for enlargements
• Natural, pleasing skin tones
• Wide exposure range for ultimate flexibility

Ultra Color is a family of films for serious photographers who expect spectacular color.

ULTRA COLOR 100 Film - Rich color and outstanding image structure go hand in hand, thanks to KODAK PROFESSIONAL ULTRA COLOR 100 Film. Since lighting may not always be perfect, ULTRA COLOR 100 Film will give you more control to consistently provide incredible results over a broad range of exposure conditions. ULTRA COLOR 100 Film also boasts extremely fine grain and razor-like sharpness. You'll get exceptional images with extraordinary detail in highlights or shadows, even without a tripod.

ULTRA COLOR 400 Film - A faster film for low-light conditions or motion shots, ULTRA COLOR 400 Film gives you spectacular colors well-matched to those of ULTRA COLOR 100 Film. So if you need the flexibility of using both films, you can do so knowing that every print's colors will have a consistent look. And extremely fine grain lets you see every feather, leaf, and drop of water.

Yet another long link

quote:
No matter what you're capturing,
Kodak has the right film for every occasion, from the MAX Versatility line for all-around picture taking to High Definition for enhanced clarity.

Have you ever tried spooling up some EASTMAN EXR 50D Color Negative Film 5245 for those sunny day shots?:

And one more for the heck of it

quote:
When your assignment requires the utmost in image structure, there's only one choice - EASTMAN EXR 50D Film. With ultra fine grain and ultra sharp resolution, it allows you to capture rich, natural colors and helps you pull out every last detail from any daylight scene.

EASTMAN EXR 50D Films 5245 (35 mm) and 7245 (16 mm) are low-speed daylight-balanced color negative camera films with microfine grain, very high sharpness, and high resolving power. They feature wide exposure latitude and accurate tone reproduction. The emulsion contains a colored-coupler mask for good color reproduction in release prints.

Because of the carbon rem-jet backing, you must process it in the motion-picture ECN-2 process, and NOT in the C-41 process.

Don't try to hide behind the dense, web-like Kodak corporate structure! It has been apparent for some time that you are controlling the entire organization, down to its minutest function. It's not even amusing among us here any more to winkingly pretend otherwise to keep the gag going in case tourists stop by. The secret identity bit has worn out & isn't fooling anyone. It was silly, anyway.

quote:

Really, I rarely shoot anything where there's light, so I don't order 100 ASA film & just piick some up when I need it. In the last month or so, 100 ASA Kodak has vanished from the shelves everywhere, & only 200 is available.

I tend to just order 800 & pick up some 1600 Fuji for insurance.

quote:
ULTRA COLOR 400 Film
UC400 has begun to show up in lots of places, but I don't really use it. I've got a bunch of un-shot rolls now! I'm either shooting in a light-scarce hole, or somebody asks me to take a picture of something outside & I'll do better with 100 ASA. 200? Is this for people who can't decide between 100 & 400 or what? Maybe studio or wedding photography, bRRRRRRr...

That would be fun, & would be a flashback to the 50 & 64 ASA days, but my needs for slow film are pretty much extemperaneous, & I need something I can grab quick off a retailer's shelf rather than something I've ordered & have rotting in a box or picking up smells in the fridge. I'll order some anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

Make that Perfect Touch print process available in prints larger than 5x7, photochemical Dr. Mabuse!

Put out a hit on that guy at Target who lost my Mardi Gras concert photos instead of sending them to the Kodak lab! Are you serious about ensuring customer satisfaction, or what?

John and William, you two should get a room... your comments have NOTHING to do with the FT Drink or ShoWest! Move on and start your own thread! [sleep]

Anyway, I have a place to stay for the duration of ShoWest but no tickets this year for the equipment show.

Do any of you honest and sincere people that expect NO sexual favors in return have any extra tickets?

Ok OK OK... if not, then let's talk sexual favors! [evil]

Please email me... [Wink]

Me too! Looking for a one-day exhibit pass. Please?

I know, I know, I'm shameless.

Can't promise any sexual favors. But how 'bout a ride in my school's brand new $150,000 Frasca flight simulator??? [Big Grin]

[Edit]My first paycheck for the semester just arrived--a month early! Any chance I can join in on the Quark's get together???
