what the fuck is this nonsense. was it toooooo bad that one STANDARD roll that lasted for 80 years they needed to invent this MARGINALLY SMALLER retarded roll? no wonder film fucking died.

got me this """advantix""" camera, now, are these cartridges reusable? can i load it with say some fresh film?

fucking kodak fuck.

If you lived in a world where digital wasn't really on most people's radar and one of the big complaints about photography was that the little 35mm rolls were annoying to deal with, APS makes total sense. Much easier to use, smaller cameras, smaller optics, cheaper, almost the same quality, and really serious photographers could just use medium format anyway.

Just that digital came along and curb stomped the entire film photography industry almost immediately after it was released.

What makes a lot more sense to be pissed off about is things like 620 film. "Exactly the same film as 120, but on a marginally smaller spindle so they're mutually incompatible!"

The cameras were ridiculously tiny ergonomic marvels, the film area absolutely big enough to offer good consumer prints with how state of the art film stocks have become.

wow it sure looks like shit.

from what ive gathered, only 10 yo expired APS film goes to garbage. have in mind you can shoot 20yo gold and itll look most of the time excellent.

i shot few rolls back in time and liked the concept. image quality wasn't as good as 35mm but cameras were small and rolls could be taken out and put back in camera at any time. there were even possibility for saving "exif" data.

My first non-disposable camera was one of these. It was perfect for a kid - fixed focus, auto exposure, cheap, and you couldn't mess up APS loading. My Dad bought me a big box of film the first summer I had it and I took photos almost every day. I have an album of 4x6 prints from that camera and they look a lot better than cheap digital point and shoot images. It fit in my pocket and it was hassle-free. For the average unskilled photographer who just wanted to take decent snapshots it was a great format.

at the time they thought they could charge americans more for 1/2 the amount of film on a roll.
had cheap digital not come along it would have been a major boost in revenue for Kodak.
Remember a 2mp digital camera was around $1000

I used to have an aps camera. It was fun for snapshitting with. Being able to swap a roll halfway and continue with it later was fucking awesome. Picture quality was good for small prints.

But yeah, after I got my first digital compact I never used that thing again.

That was the problem. Anyone could make the standard roll, you couldn't lock the users and minilab operators in your own system.

Wait what? Did they change the emulsion? I was just about to order some e100 to try it out, I've never shot ektachrome before.

They had to change it because some of the chemicals were pretty niche to film and are no longer available/manufactured in bulk.

Those scans you posted will only look okay at 6x8 and below. Although lower-ISO film should've been better.

Part of the fun is taking something that has limits and pushing (or pulling) it. Wouldnt expect a digitard to understand that when 99% of your skill comes from how much you spend on photoshop

You guys shit talking Kodak know nothing about the history of photography, nor George Eastman. HINT: he invented, dry glass plates, ROLL FILM, brought photography to the masses, etc. The man was literally a business genius, it was only after he died that it turned to shit.
