    Kodak 100d vs e100

    ...Kodak black and white film stocks. Eastman Kodak makes, markets, distributes and sells motion picture films. Eastman Kodak makes the still films, and sells all of its production to Kodak Alaris, who shoulder all the costs and responsibilities to market and distribute those to local...

    Kodak 100d vs e100

    Yes, I have spoken to official Kodak distributors - they say direct orders and that's it. I've been meaning to make an inquiry directly to ei-order@kodak.com for quite some time - today I did. I ordered 5294 and 7294 (16mm 1R) - quick response from Kodak. It was not clear where they would be...

    Kodak 100d vs e100

    Problem in Europe is usually that the official dealers of movie film refuse to sell you Ekrachrome, except if it is for a production you can name. "Please ask for prices. Delivery directly to production only". Alaris seems to want to prevent anybody from rolling bulk Ektachrome. It is a pity...

    Wonderpan 400 - whatever next?

    ...Aerocolor IV which again is repackaged to buggery. Neither of these are generally available to the public, so the repackaging is legit. Kodak Alaris (separate from Eastman) market the rest of the Kodak line of films: Gold, Ultramax, Portra, Ektar and Ektachrome, Tri-X, and T-Max. Fujifilm...

    Two questions about Kodak

    Anybody using Ilford HC or other HC-110 equivalents? I’ve used HC-110 since forever and given the chaos that is Kodak/Alaris/Sino Promise/etc. it seems prudent to start looking for alternatives. Roughly I want one-shot chemistry concentrate that has a reasonably long shelf life; ability to do...

    Are there 120 films that are not numbered on the paper backing?

    Actually, that horse is quite alive and eager to be ridden. When Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris were working together to bring back Ektachrome, one of the design goals was to incorporate changes that improved the ability of the film to withstand the new realities of the distribution system -...

    Kodak Alaris were totally out of the photo-chemical business by the end of 2020 - where does the bottle say it was made?

    The State of Kodak/SinoPromise Chemistry

    I recently bought a bottle of the 'new' HC-110 from Glass Key in San Francisco. The bottle only mentions 'Kodak Alaris', no mention of Sino Promise. The expiry date is 2023/12 and I *think* the manufacturing date is some time in 2021, although the ink is a bit smudged on the bottle and hard to...

    Anybody buying Kodak B&W films nowadays?

    ...probably plays a part. The price difference between Kodak and Ilford may be less in some parts of the world. I live pretty close to Kodak Alaris Hemel Hempstead HQ but I don't suppose that makes Kodak any cheaper than if I lived in Scotland. It's not like I'm hundreds of miles from Mobberly...

    The State of Kodak/SinoPromise Chemistry

    Interesting. All I know is a bunch of their stuff effectively disappeared for over a month with "unofficial word" that they'd ceased operations, and now it looks like it's largely back, at least for the BW chemistry. So, I don't know. If I can order it and get it in, I will, as it sells quite...

    The State of Kodak/SinoPromise Chemistry

    To the best of my knowledge, neither Eastman Kodak nor Kodak Alaris can use the Kodak brand on any of the still photography chemistry - that right is still in Sino Promise's hands - unless (aand I have no knowledge of the exact situation) it is in the hands of whatever fills the role of a...

    Shocked at how much bulk TMY-2 costs

    Yeah, I realize that. But dispite what folks told me, it has been working out. Even if it’s only viable on a small scale. I get them by the handful from my lab for free, and I think most labs are happy to give them to you if you ask. I have 10 old Ilford cassettes that I use for personal...

    Shocked at how much bulk TMY-2 costs

    I applaud your efforts. I'm assuming though that you can appreciate that you and your customers are unusual, and sufficiently "rare" that neither Eastman Kodak nor Kodak Alaris would be likely to be able to base their business plans on your examples.

    Shocked at how much bulk TMY-2 costs

    If there was a market with decent volumes and associated cameras that used 1000 foot loads of T-Max and Tri-X still film, you would see it marketed that way. It would be through the Kodak Alaris distribution network though - not directly from Eastman Kodak.

    ...well pay you to do so. But those two "ifs" are big ones. The vast majority of users - the ones that Eastman Kodak (for cine film) and Kodak Alaris/distributors/retailers sell almost all film to, aren't willing to accept those risks. Comparing the cost of 1000 foot loads of cine film to...

    Shocked at how much bulk TMY-2 costs

    Kodak makes printers and supplies for the print industry. Kodak Alaris is a "data capture" company, selling scanners and entire "data acquisition solutions" to industry. Film is not something they really need to make or sell, anymore. It won't bankrupt them if they stop.

    D-76 Stock times for Tri-X (400TX)

    Well, if the instructions on the packages are understood to be referring to older versions of the same product, with their inane rearranged names and so on, there are not any discrepancies on any of the things we've looked at except between what's listed on the current D76 data sheet and what...

And as for Sino Promise, they got (and paid for) the business at just about exactly the same time...

    D-76 Stock times for Tri-X (400TX)

    Thanks, Don, for clearing that up. To be fair I think I can recall Ilford having a couple of anomalies in its sheets but finding the info from Ilford seems much easier. Unfortunately Kodak's situation in relation to those chemicals still labelled Kodak is that to most consumers wishing to check...

    And that datasheet is unchanged from before 2020, when Kodak Alaris hosted it, and was responsible for the distribution and marketing for D-76 and the other Kodak chemicals. That current datasheet is also the same - with respect to many of the films listed - as the 2002 datasheet that was...

    D-76 Stock times for Tri-X (400TX)

    The current D76 sheet hosted by Kodak Alaris is provided by Sino and it has the wrong times for Tri-x, Tmax 100, and Tmax 400. The correct times are on the individual sheets for the films. In the case of Tri-X, it would be 6 mins, 45 secs. I contacted Kodak Alaris.

    D-76 Stock times for Tri-X (400TX)

    I'm not sure about the "maintaining" part. The only changes effected by Kodak Alaris to the pre-2012 datasheets are the addition of Kodak Alaris' name, and the deletion of most references to no longer available Kodak branded products.
