    Defective Darkroom Supplies Galore

    This makes sense. Chemistry and paper was/is a division, no mention of a separate black and white chemistry division. God forbid Alaris sells the still film business group to China. That would be an end, for me of a lifelong relationship.

    Thank you for all of that info! I need to find a chart or something to explain the differences between developers. I keep hearing about certain developers for old emulsions vs others for new emulsions, acutance, and still too new to this to know what any of that actually translates into in terms...

    Look at Unique photo in New Jersey, they sell less than case quantities of Kodak Flexicolor chemistry, it's made by the China based company that just purchased the color paper and chemistry. It's been coming from China for years so no issues. I reuse the bleach and replenish, but only the...

    ...amazing color films, I wouldn't look towards Kodak for anything. Sure they also have great B&W films, but so do others. The Kodak/Kodak Alaris relationship never seemed healthy to me: technical savvy in one place and marketing in another. It seemed like Kodak Alaris never knew what to do...

    Arista is Freestyle's brand. They are the distributer for it. I think that the Kodak Alaris packaging issues for the powdered chemicals have been basically resolved, save for some retail unhappiness about the format, but there is some product from affected batches still in the pipeline. And I...

    Obviously I don't know exactly what Ilford is doing right now, however, it seems that Ilford has managed the Tetenal issue with no problems. As to Adox. Adox has a new, perfectly sized facility for manufacturing, confectioning, darkroom chemistry. It's not clear that Adox is making every...

    If you want to make your life simple, until the Kodak Alaris black and white chemistry mess gets straight, buy Ilford fixer, stop bath and one of their film developer formulas. Even easier, buy a bottle of Adox Rodinal and a small 25-50 mL plastic graduated cylinder. Rodinal has been around...

    Delta 3200 rated at 800 ISO in D76?

    Thanks, I'm going to toss it and I ordered more. B&H, Adorama and Freestyle Photo are all on backorder, Samy's Cameras is sold out...maybe that's why companies like Mel Pierce are selling oxidized garbage online (for double the price). I found another seller on Amazon, so hopefully this batch is...

    D76 - Brown In Envelope - Gone Bad?

    You should contact Kodak Alaris, tell them you've got one of their bad batches of D76, and get them to replace it. Assuming you've got one of the bad batches. :) You'll need the envelope with the production details on it. https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/kodak-d-76-issue.178252/

    It is a shame, but presently some Kodak chem has QC issues, reportedly paper and chem section owned by Kodak Alaris (Not Eastman Kodak that manufactures film) was sold to a chinese company and perhaps they hired Harry Potter, or Mr Potter was hired by Alaris, who knows?... I feel bad when I...

    Ilford delta 3200 development

    I'd process a test roll, exposed under similar conditions, first. (EDIT: I noticed Kodak Alaris is giving an ISO speed of 1000 in the PDF file so the below is not up to date) To be nit-picky, only a manufacturer can determine ISO, because the developer is to be established by the manufacturer...

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    Kodak Alaris/Sino. Eastman Kodak is a printing services company with a small division that manufactures photographic film and markets the motion picture portions of that production. They have absolutely nothing to do with the other products that Kodak Alaris/Sino sell.

    Don't forget in most EU countries there is VAT/sales tax in the region of 20%, so that will bring up retail prices.

    ...reasonable approach, but I would suggest that one-shot use of D-76 1+1 is more reliable for someone starting up again. Be cautious about the recommended developing times for D-76. Kodak Alaris doesn't have a current data sheet up on the web right now, because this older version requires...

    ...9.90€ is roughly $11.99 right now. $18 for a single roll. $17 ea. when bought in a 5 pack. I'm not entirely sure how you can blame Kodak Alaris for Fuji's prices, but still. The real problem seems to be ars-imago's pricing-- which may be the result of the EU market, or it may just be...

    But we can run around like chickens with their heads cut off screaming "We will all be killed", and that is ever so much more fun than waiting for this to work its way out. Besides there is really nothing we can do other than bitch.

    As Matt explained, we already still do not know the details of Kodak / Kodak Pension Plan / Kodak Alaris contract, and we even less know on the current contract with Sino Promise. Instead we are going circles since this discussion came up in July.

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    I expect that the mechanism is that Kodak Alaris holds (held?) the IP, after it was assigned first by the bankruptcy trustee to the Pension Plan trustees, and subsequently re-assigned to their asset, Kodak Alaris. But there are too many inter-jurisdictional complexities for me to know with...

    Thanks, Matt. I presume all the manufacturing is done under license to Kodak (or to the Kodak pension plan, but somehow formulas get controlled/verified)?

    No, they own those products now, and are entitled to use the Kodak name on them - that is what Kodak Alaris owned before the sale. All manufacturing is/was done under contract by generally un-named third parties, although the paper is being produced in the Carestream facility in Colorado. At...
