Cine Information website updates
There have been some big updates to this site just recently including a new downloads page, new video pages and some updates to the design.
If you have left any comments on this site before the design changed and wondering where they went they were unfortunately in the update but if you post your comments again they should stay forever now.
There are still a few small updates left but hopefully now more information will start being added to the website again.
Two new books added to the downloads page

New Kodak 100D super 8 film
Kodak announced on the 6th April 2010 that they are releasing Ektachrome 100D for Super 8.
From the Kodak announcement:
KODAK has introduced a new Color Reversal Film available in the Super 8 mm format today. KODAK Ektachrome 100D Color Reversal Film is a daylight-balanced 100-speed film, incorporating bright saturated colors and fine grain with excellent sharpness.
The full announcement is available to read here.
Both Wittner Cinetec and Pro8 have been packaging Ektachrome 100D into super 8 carts for a while now, so this film stock is not new to Super 8 but hopefully with the Kodak release it should become slightly cheaper and easier to obtain.
Kodak have also announced that they are discontinuing both Plus-X and Etachrome 64T.
