Remembers 5 existing rolls of slide film, and remembers the need to find a lab for that purpose...

Any idea if it will be the E6 process to develop? I'm just assuming we'll be able to do it ourselves like the original Ektachrome. I need to send a couple bodies off to Eric for a CLA.

Of course it's E6. It isn't a new film, just a re-release. And Kodak never stopped making the chemicals.

Doesn't the E in E-6 stand for Ektachrome?

Maybe in the next couple of months we can get our grubby paws on some!

I assumed such, but wasn't sure with all the development time to start production again if there was a change in the chemistry or it just took this much to get all the pieces back in production.
