    First roll of Harman Phoenix photos up!

    The Alaris setup works in some ways and not others. EK cannot choose distribution partners that might be better in some areas than Alaris are. I live almost literally down the road from the KA offices in Hemel Hempstead. 20 minute drive. But the local shop can't get hold of much Kodak film...

    First roll of Harman Phoenix photos up!

    Kodak film is sold through a much larger number of outlets, spread throughout the world, than Harman/Ilford products. The Alaris structure was designed to mimic that structure, after the model previously offered by Eastman Kodak. But that means that the availability is diluted, when it comes to...

    First roll of Harman Phoenix photos up!

    @pentaxuser With demand for C41 film, particularly amateur film, still increasing.....and with Kodak still struggling to match demand....and with Fuji apparently only vaguely still in the game.....there's definitely room for another player in the game. People might choose Harman over Kodak for...

    Adox XT3 Performance in 1L Packaging

    I see what you are saying. If I understand correctly, the name Kodak no longer means retail, as in home users? Just wholesale for giant users? At least that's what it sounds like to me, anyway. Yes, the Photrio crowd might be small, but they would be a good indicator as to what the "home...

    ...and availability that Kodak branded chemicals used to enjoy. That availability will probably be much less than even at the end of the Kodak Alaris photo-chemical era. Photrio is not the subset of the market to check - it is far too small and un-representative. Even if everyone here would be...

    Adox XT3 Performance in 1L Packaging

    Sino Promise has given up the Kodak branded still photo chemical business. US based Photo Systems now has obtained the rights from Eastman Kodak. Photo Systems were previously doing some of the contract manufacturing for Kodak Alaris, followed by Sino Promise.

    Kodak-branded chemicals - official news (they are returning)

    That's too bad. I wonder if the 'new' formula has the same longevity once opened that the original had.

    Unlikely - I don't think that Photosys have that manufacturing capability, and they have already indicated somewhere that it is the version they have been contract manufacturing for first Kodak Alaris and then Sino Promise since 2019.

    What exactly are the Kodak made Lomo stocks?

    ...Color Negative films are not new at all, they go back to 2007-2008 with Kodak still having strong manufacturing capabilities and before Kodak Alaris creation. Nowadays I don't think Kodak will even consider anything that it is not within the current film portfolio or very similar for a...

    Ilfotec DD-X formula?

    I can confirm that Sino Promise had officially shut down production at their factory in Wuxi, China and I bought a 5L bottle of TMAX-RS they had in stock.

They were actually, beginning in 2019, the ones doing the contract manufacturing of most of the Kodak black and white photo chemicals for Kodak Alaris (initially) and then Sino Promise.

    Harman Technology vs. Ilford Photo vs. Ilford Imaging...what's in a name?

    Personally this is a confused mess. Marketing won't change the name because there is zero brand recognition outside the film shooter's niche and even inside, many buy on price and their own experience - not some virtue made abundantly clear by marketing. Rebranded films by other people come and...

    New ortho 120 film from Foma

    FWIW, the reason that Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris limit their reciprocity data to shorter than pinhole times is because the related industry does not manufacture a sensitometer that reliably and consistently emits and measures the extremely low level of light that would allow them to base...

    ...when its maker is happy to call it Ilford film, why would we call it anything else? Does anyone walk into a shop and ask for a roll of Kodak Alaris Tri-X? (Rhetorical question: I don't think we do. I certainly don't: I don't even use Tri-X. I use HP5, and I ask for 'a roll of HP5', without...

    I did notice that at least one product page mentions a data sheet, where the link goes to Kodak Alaris. the "about US" does confirm that they are proud of their former life as "Unicolor" (as frankly they should be.) And at the same time indicate they are the source of many of the CineStill...

    Kodak to Raise Prices on 135?

    Kodak doesn't have any meaningful competition in colour film segment. The pricing of their BW is higher than competition because they have no incentive to sell more BW film. They would need to sacrifice colour film numbers to satisfy higher BW demand at lower prices, but there is clearly no...

    Kodak to Raise Prices on 135?

    I've posted before that I believe Eastman Kodak can raise prices to Alaris to raise their profits at the expense of Alaris. Alaris has nowhere else to source Kodak film. On the other hand, even Eastman realizes they can only go so far without killing the goose. I've researched and still don't...

    ...article. But it seems clear that the pensioners will be getting less than they use too. The fund is £1.5bn short. I assume markup and profits of Kodak Alaris effect what they get so they're an incentive to raise film prices. Other film manufacturers don't have this pension issue to contend...

    Kodak to Raise Prices on 135?

    But there are apparently two levels of distribution for Kodak film. Alaris and the other distributors. So, Alaris adds one more level of markup that other film manufacturers don't do raising the price of Kodak film higher at the retail level. Plus, distributors for non-Kodak film don't have...
