11x14 E6 may be available

[Richard Fenner]

I recently asked a well-known and reputable US dealer about the possibility of getting some 11x14 E100VS from Kodak - this is my preference to Fuji's Provia 100F and Velvia, and you might recall that it did well in comparisons in View Camera magazine. I mentioned the usual figures quoted - minimum order of $10 000 and about $190/box. Although no figures can be provided at this stage, it doesn't sound too difficult for us to arrange this - for now at least, there seems to be a little window for us to take advantage of, and freeze the stuff! I would make a considerable dent in the minimum order, but would need some other people to be willing to buy some as well. I'm not sure it would work for people to take a box or two - unless we're inundated, people would probably have to be willing to stump up for at least a few boxes.
This would be arranged with the dealer themselves, not through me.
If enough people indicate their willingness, here or by email to me, I'll name the firm here.

Why? Hasn't Kodak stopped making their Coloramas?

You should post this over at APUG as well if you haven't already done so.

How many in a box for $190? 10? If so, not a great bargain for cutting down to 5x7.

I'll buy a few boxes, I am actually in the midst of buying a 11x14 camera and if this film becomes available then I will definitely buy this camera and film!

I too am curious about 11x14 format... if this EV100 deal does not go through, what color film is available in 11x14? My guess is, it won't be for long, as the recent struggles this list has seen just getting 8x10 Velvia...
