    China Lucky to resume color negative film production in 2024

    This is true re the cost being the thing that switched people right. Once labs caught wind of ecn2 processing being a need, a remarkable amount invested in addition machines like the Jobo ATLs and modern versions. All to ensure they could adapt and offer ECN2 for the new film. The shortages in...

    Printing Ektachrome

    The Alaris and Eastman Ektachrome have slightly different antihalation and other filter dyes in the film. If you develop these films, you will see that the movie version will color the water dark green, if a prewet is done. It will then color the first developer magenta. Alaris stock will just...

    Printing Ektachrome

    We still photographers seriously need slides. But Kodak is Kodak, and their connection to the movie world is well known. It is much less used than Vision3 in motion picture, but reversal stock is still used.. What i find strange, is selling Alaris 135-36 version for about 28-30 € a roll, when...

    Printing Ektachrome

    Kodak Alaris actually initiated the process of bringing it back, and the differences between the films only relate to the distribution, the packaging, the edge printing, perhaps the perforations (I'm not sure about that) and the instructions to motion picture labs about the differences when...

    Printing Ektachrome

    I do agree. But as the photofinishing industry went to scanning, and printing with a laser or LED to negative paper, positive paper became obsolete. The prictures can be easily inverted to negatives when printing digitally. Also, in some countries, inkjet printing is popular (USA). In Europe...

    New Cinestill 400D film announced

    China Lucky to resume color negative film production in 2024

    When Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris came to the mutual decision to bring Ektachrome back, they took the opportunity to design in some changes. Some of those changes related to changes in availability of some of the constituent ingredients that come from 3rd parties. Some of those changes...

    Thanks Your explanation of what the poster said may be a more balanced way of defining the theoretical effect of pressure on price but as yet he hasn't replied so we don't know if any evidence in his experience exists I haven't see any as yet and while in theory more makers = more downward...

    China Lucky to resume color negative film production in 2024

    I'm willing to bet that they do know, and that the answer is "virtually nothing". Not all that much Phoenix has been distributed so far so logically, it wasn't even possible to put a dent in Kodak sales that way. If there's going to be a price effect, it'll manifest itself once a (truly)...

    China Lucky to resume color negative film production in 2024

    It was probably meant in the way that every additional supply of the goods will ease the pressure on price. Alaris or resellers didn't lower C-41 film prices because of Phoenix, but we also don't know if there has been less of a demand for Kodak films because of Phoenix. I'm pretty sure even...

    Poor quality Kodak Portra400: Does anyone have the same problem

    Apparently we're now looking at a batch of Portra 400 that went through a different (unofficial Alaris) distribution channel.

    Poor quality Kodak Portra400: Does anyone have the same problem

    Actually, the quality problems started out when it was in Kodak Alaris' hands and their contract manufacturer Tetenal suddenly went bankrupt. The rushed attempts to replace Tetenal with mostly USA based manufacture did not initially go very well.

    Hello, a few questions about TF4 alkaline fixer and stop bath

    If we are citing manufactuers' film tech sheets as the source of advice about stop baths, there may be reasons to question that. It is possible to go overboard in viewing tech sheets as sacred texts to be followed to the letter. Although neither Ilford nor Kodak says it, there are people who...

    Where to find Kodak Flexicolor?

    I was looking around the other day and I thought I might give Kodak Flexicolor a try since I have only used Tetenal kits for C-41, but I can’t seem to find any online shops that sell it in Germany. Is there any website to buy it and not bother with Kodak Alaris?

    Which actually means PhotoSys needs to, as neither Eastman Kodak nor Kodak Alaris have any involvement any more with still film photo chemicals, other than (Eastman Kodak's) licensing of the name.

    T-Max RS Developer

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

    Not necessarily; after all, Alaris has the exclusive distribution rights to Kodak camera film and we seem to be surviving despite that situation. Keep in mind that Cinestill's role in bringing back Kodak chemistry has most likely been crucial, in the sense that it wouldn't have happened if...

    First roll of Harman Phoenix photos up!

    This doesn't say anything about how well or poorly the "Alaris setup" works. It's a given that the output Kodak C41 film is insufficient to fulfill market demand, so regardless who does the distribution, someone will be without film. Moreover, your argument implicitly assumes that your personal...

    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...

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...

Photrio is not the subset of the market to check - it is far too small and un-representative. Even if everyone here would be...

    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)
