Kodak allegedly releases new Kodacolor 100 and 200

[MNS]

I say allegedly, as no official press statement has come out of Kodak Alaris or Kodak Eastman.

There's a landing page on the Kodak website which shows both film types but no technical details or datasheet currently available:

kodak.com/en/still-film/home/

KODACOLOR 100 is a low-speed daylight balanced color negative film. It has fine grain, saturated colors, high sharpness, wide exposure latitude, and consistent color reproduction making it suitable for general picture taking situations. This 100 speed film does well in brightly lit scenes while still providing good shadow detail.

Look for KODACOLOR 100 at your favorite photo retailer in store or online.

KODACOLOR 200 is a medium-speed daylight balanced color negative film. It has fine grain, saturated colors, high sharpness, wide exposure latitude, and consistent color reproduction making it suitable for general picture taking situations.

Look for KODACOLOR 200 at your favorite photo retailer in store or online.

You'd think they would make some sort of announcement.

Thanks for the link @d_c. 🙂

Both are available from B&H. Ordered one of each to try…

Freestyle sent me an ad: $9,99.- a roll.

New - and improved! 🙄

Got the same ad... Thanks, but no thanks. At $75-$80 per 100 ft roll, I'd be tempted. 🙂

I think it's great that Kodak has gone back into production. But ... I only shoot B&W film.

I like the packaging

Let’s see if it is new or just a rebranded Color Plus or something. In any case it is nice to see they are doing something.

$8.99 at the FPP store, but they're already sold out.

The point about Alaris is interesting and probably just speculation - perhaps Kodak are doing well enough to extricate themselves from the pension fund. Hopefully, more information to come.

Any new film is good news to me. I'll give it a try.

I saw a video last night in which the complexity of 'Kodak' from a company point of view was well understood and the woman stated that this is an Eastman Kodak new product for still photography, that company still engaged in making cine film. Alaris might be distributing, but it's meant to be a new film from a film manufacturer. It is the only Still Film product listed, ISO 100 and 200 options.

This is from the Eastman Kodak web site:

KODACOLOR 100 Film

This low-speed daylight balanced color negative film has fine grain, vivid color, and sharp detail—ideal for bright scenes.

And here's Eastman Kodak Company's web site "Statement Regarding Misleading Media Reports."

Statement Regarding Misleading Media Reports

Kodak clarifies it is not closing or filing bankruptcy; plans debt repayment and pension fund transaction for a stronger balance sheet in 2025.

Just wondering if they keep Kodak Pro Image 100 alive, or replace it with this new Kodacolor 100. The color of the base (should be a bit darker amber than 200) will tell you if it is a true C-41 100 ISO film, or a rebadged 200 ISO emulsion that can be shot at 100 without any problems.

True film stocks become rare. When a 'new' films comes out, it is usually repacked and rebranded.

It's a big seller in Asia, not in the least because you can stock it outside a fridge long-term.

I ordered a couple rolls today.

I bought a roll of the 200 at Roberts Camera yesterday, haven't shot it yet. The gentleman who sold it to me said that the 100 speed film is actually Pro Image and the 200 is Color Plus, but he said they're indeed being manufactured by Eastman Kodak rather than Alaris.

Alaris doesn't make film. They only handle distribution and sales.
