I missed out on getting a few rolls when it first came out a few months ago. A store in North Jersey had a few rolls but by the time I got there they were sold out !
So what’s the verdict ? Anyone shooting with it ? Curious to know if it’s like the original film , and is it worth the price ?
Thank you.

One of those "chromes" can no longer be developed.

Most online retailers have it in stock. The price is about the same as Fujifilm Velvia & Provia. From what I’ve read it’s nothing much to get excited about. Kodachrome couldn’t compete with Velvia-50, and the new Ektachrome doesn’t seem to be much different than Provia. I’ll try some if they make it in 120 though.

The new Ektachrome is E6 but I don't think Kodak sell E6 chemicals.

I would check the chemicals on unimportant shots first. It may be actually expired as well as being Waaaaay beyond its expiry date.

I have other sources for E6 chemicals, cheaper than Kodaks own packaging.( Fuji )

The reviews are all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Apparently Kodak got it right.
Thanks again.

Is it actually Kodak that is providing this film or has some other company acquired the rights.

It might be a good Ektachrome, but IMHO, EPP was the pinnacle of the Ektachrome line. I am mildly disappointed that it was not resurrected...
