Kodak releases Kodacolor 100

According to Petapixel

Kodak has quietly launched a new color 35mm film, Kodacolor 100. It joins existing Kodak film, including Kodak Ektar 100, Gold 200, ColorPlus 200, Portra 400, UltraMax 400, and Portra 800.

Good to see Kodak taking an interest in film again.

I'd love to see them release a faster cheap colour film - I think Lomo 800 is Kodak Gold 800, as used in disposables? If that were cheaper it'd be great.

According to various sources the new Kodacolor is to be sold through Eastman Kodak rather than Kodak Alaris. I wonder if the Kodak pension deal that spawned off Alaris has reached some sort of break point? There was also talk of Eastman Kodak releasing some of the Vision 3 films without remjet. I believe they're also repackaging Kodacolor 200 in the same packaging as the new 100, but the 200 appears to still be the film we've had for a while.

Someone on Mastodon was saying, if they really want to get back to selling still photographic film, an easy way is by offering us Double X packaged for still rather than cine. That would be nice! I've liked the XX I've trid (except for the RefLX films that were heavily scratched). Both this and the Vision 3 thing might be snagged by contract details with Cinestill...

Where does this fit in with Colorplus and Gold? Is it too much too hope that it would be cheaper than either of them...

Lomography have just released a 200 asa colour film interestingly so I wonder if the 200 version of this Kodak is what Lomography have released? That's on pre order.

The 200 film is Colorplus according to the reports I've read. The 100asa film is possibly Kodak Pro Image, or possibly the VR film that Lomography sell as Lomo Color Negative 100.
