I just ran across a reference to this emulsion on the web... is it still available from Kodak? An asa 400 daylight reversal film?

 

Has anyone used it in 16mm?

 

From Kodak's site...

 

"EASTMAN EKTACHROME High-Speed Daylight Film 7251 (16 mm) and EASTMAN EKTACHROME High-Speed Daylight Film 2253 (ESTAR Base) are very high-speed, color reversal camera films that are intended for photography under very low-level daylight illumination or under other light sources using proper filtration. They have a medium degree of sharpness. Among their many applications are color news photography, sporting events, industrial photography using existing light, and color instrumentation applications. The processed original camera film is ready for projection; and because it is balanced for projection at 5400 K, it is suitable for television broadcasting. Also, color duplicates can be made on EASTMAN EKTACHROME Print Film 7399."

I believe 7251 has been discontinued.

I have used it in sports filming back in the 80's.The high speed was nice for overcranking, I found that the daylight balance worked out well for a variety of lighting conditions in sports.Mercury vapor and sodium type lights.

 

Don't suppose there's much use for it now.It's not a pretty stock.
