Subject: Ektachrome 7399 (VN622) Print Film [WAS:Re: making a copy of  
kodachrome]

This (VN622) is the perforation or format code for 7399 Ektachrome  print
film in double super-8. The 1-4 means the perfs are on both edges  of
16mm width film. (Some print films were made in 1-3 which means  they
were made for duplicating both halves in the same direction at once,  so
it would not fit a regular camera.) It is not sold pre-loaded  into
super-8 cartridges.
 
7399 should have the data sheet posted at the Kodak web  site.
Essentially it is a low speed film, made for duplicating  existing
Ektachrome dye images and not photographing real life. The color  balance
is made for exposure in a film printer using about a 2900K light  source.
The contrast is very flat, to accept the density range of a  contrasty
original film. It is likely to be quite disappointing as an  original for
direct projection because of the low contrast and low  saturation. It
could be usable for transfer to video if you crank up the  contrast and
color with the twiddly knobs in the transfer machine. (The old  7387
Eastman Reversal Color Print "Kodachrome" duplicating film, now  sadly
long discontinued, was wonderful stuff for shooting directly.)
 
It is low in speed, no ASA rating being published since it is  not
intended for use in a camera. Depending on how you want it to  look,
figure about ASA 5 to 10 with the correct processing with reduced  first
developer time, or ASA 10 to 20 when "push processed" like  original
film. Some additonal light balancing will be required in daylight  in
addition to the usual No. 85 filter.
