fastest reversal

[8th Man]

Nope, it's closer to the slowest. I think the current fastest is Tri-X b/w at 200 ASA, followed by Ectachrome 125 ASA.

got me thinking. wouldn't it be super cool to have super8sound cut up some provia 400 or 1600 for us? there's no real difference between the motion picture reversal stocks and the slide film, right? and since they can process velvia, they can process provia, since they're both e-6 films. how cool wouldn't that be? i've shot lots of provia slides, and they don't seem very grainy for the speed, although i guess everything turns to grain when the frame is only 6 mms wide...

(yes, i know slide film is *expensive*)

Gentlemen,

Is Kodachrome 40 the fastest reversal available?

thank you,

So I'm still wondering if anyone shot their Super 8 Fuji Velvia.

I would like to know how it looks, especially the grain...

I'm starting to think we'll never hear how that stuff ever turned out. I think I would have shot a test roll within a week and I'd still be waiting since this stuff all has to be in at once for developing.I keep thinking it won't be all that different that Fuji single 8 but I could be very wrong.

I'm still mystified how Kodak can say they support Super 8 and never released a Kodachrome 200 super 8 stock (it was available in 35mm for slides), chosing instead to leave us with the pitiful Ektachrome Type "G" (for 'God-awful' or 'Grain', take your pick). While I've never been a fan of the Ektachrome high speeds for super 8, the Ektachrome tungsten at least had correct skin tones. Ooooo. Some K200 super 8. Now THAT's the ticket....

Roger,

Is it possible at all to push process cine film to increase the ASA or have i got the wrong idea?

not to increase the asa, but to control the density and gamma, yes. this is probably what you meant, but making an image brighter is not the same thing as increasing the asa of the emulsion, which is important to remember. detail not registered by the silver halide simply wasn't registered and can't be brought back.

i think dwaynes can push k40 if you pay them lots and lots and lots for it, and all other stocks can be pushed at least one stop by most labs for a moderate fee. pushing reversal can leave you with a roll consisting of mostly washed out grain though, so be careful.

regarding the velvia test rolls, they actually didn't have to send it all at once if understood correctly, so i'm really wondering what happened...

You can push most any film but the grain goes to **** . In my opinion, not recommended unless you are in dire circumstances.

Yeah, I don't think they had to send it at once exectly, but since they will process all the film at once I believe they planned on having all the cartridges back at Pro8mm by a certain date. But when?
Has anyone ever shot K200 in 35mm? How would the grain be in S8?
It seems all too logical that this would've been sold by Kodak, but it's not like they used to offer it and now it's been pulled.
If there were enough orders, would kodak do a run?
And since K25 DS8 is in the catalog this spring, does this mean it's not doomed?
