More Kodak News

It looks like regardless of all the wringing of hands over the potential for Kodak film to disappear, it was the digital cameras that ended up getting killed.

what t00k them so long?
for something to be done a decade ago....

Kodak as a company is SLOW to change....its a culture there.

The guy in BJP has it right -- people want film from Kodak, not any of the other stuff.

Their early digital cameras, in the '90s, were groundbreaking and moved professional film users into digital.

Well, seems that I'm placing that film order I had stored in my B&H cart some days ago... and will remove the Fuji products this time. Let's help them out and buy their stuff!

Agree Francisco. I'm going to place my spring bulk order this week! Tmax400-2 in all sizes and a bunch of chemistry 🙂

I hope they can do it............

However, the firm has moved to reassure film photographers. "Kodak's continuing consumer products and services will include the traditional film capture and photographic paper business, which continues to provide high-quality and innovative products and solutions to consumers, photographers, retailers, photofinishers and professional labs," it says in a statement.

Good luck Kodak!

Kodak is the ONLY company that gave me 10 rolls of expired, but FREE Portra 160nc as well as 1 FREE roll of the new Ektar 100 film. I hope the best for Kodak. They should buy a sponsorship here on RFF.🙂

Kodak (very briefly) had a great line-up of consumer digicams, too, when they purchased the Chinon plant in Japan and renewed their lens partnership with Schneider. But then they let their bean counters convince them to outsource it all, and their digicams became trivial garbage...

Got my 70 rolls of (tri-x) Arista Premium 400 from Freestyle today. Ordered a couple days ago. After duty, delivery it's $3.57/roll. $1 more than a year ago, but still worth it. But I do have to buy less.

+1.

I will continue to support Kodak by buying my favourite Kodak films, especially Ektachrome E100G and E100VS / Elitechrome 100 ExtraColor (Kodak's best colour films).
And TMY-2, BW 400 CN.

But I will also continue to support Fuji, Ilford, Agfa-Gevaert/Maco and Adox.
We need them all, we have to support them all.
