    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    I freely admit to a lack of familiarity with corporate law in the UK where Alaris is headquartered. In the U.S., I stand by my observation. All the things you list are, here, nothing but PR window dressing. The corporate entity has a fiduciary responsibility to maximizing its shareholders'...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    I am reminded of the LAST time that Much Motion Picture stock was diverted to the still market, BUT the business cases were different them In the 1970s, Much TV production was filmed on Motion Picture film, think Star Trek, Hill street Blues, MASH and so on. that combined with Acuall Movie...

    If Alaris was distributing other manufacturers' films beside Kodak's, I think we would know about it. After all, they would be distributing to retailers and wouldn't want to keep it secret. Is anyone aware this is happening?

    Kodak didn't break out their profits from film so how do we know what margins they have?

    ...price increases are extravagant. The price increases could be unjustified, partially justified, or fully justified. And was it Eastman Kodak or Kodak Alaris, or both, who increased prices, and, if both, in what proportion? Yes, it is pure speculation or, perhaps more accurately, pure...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    Unless you have insider knowledge and are likely violating a nondisclosure agreement, you don't know that. I suspect, but don't know, that Alaris is prohibited from sourcing film anywhere except Eastman Kodak and then marketing it as Kodak film. What's unclear is whether the agreement...

    No - Kodak Alaris was put into serious, near business ending difficulty by the pandemic. The contract in place is a replacement of the one that was put into breach by the near shutdown, world-wide of all the markets.

    Uh, I disagree. Someone's pricing policy gave them this opportunity.

    COVID 19 and how it affected Kodak Alaris and its relationships with both its customers and its suppliers (Eastman Kodak and Sino Promise and others). We are still an immense distance away from the way things were before the pandemic.

    If Eastman Kodak have been collecting huge margins from Alaris then they have been lying in their financial reports. Which, I think, is illegal. They've improved their position slightly with increased quantity/price mix, but nowhere near anything as drastic as the price increase that the...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    Turning the expression, "what they can't make in markup they'll make up in volume" on it's head, Eastman Kodak probably is squeezing the highest prices they can from their sales to Alaris, since Alaris has to buy film from Eastman and nowhere else. How much attention Eastman pays to sales...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    It is hard to say where Eastman Kodak is making more money in total - the volumes to KA are probably still significantly higher that the sales of ECN-2 film not going into movies - but I've no doubt that the ECN-2 re-purposers are adding significantly to the Eastman Kodak bottom line. Who knows...

    Eastman Kodak selling the motion picture film in 2000 foot rolls to places like Analogue Wonderland, who pay some guy named Mr. Whatever minimum wage to spool that into cassettes and put a sticker on them. That's what makes all those "brands" possible - the fact that anybody can but a 2000 foot...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    Somehow I don't see this - perhaps because Eastman Kodak isn't finishing/confectioning any of the ECN-2 films being re-purposed for still use. And the costs and bottlenecks relating to finishing/confectioning play a huge role in the costs being passed on to Kodak Alaris.

    Not really. Kodak probably makes more money per roll of ECN-2 film that is shot in a still camera than from a "regular" C-41 roll it sells to Alaris. It's Alaris that is loosing (making less) money and with Alaris' pricing lately I kinda find it hard to sympathise.

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    The reason behind high Kodak prices of BW film is really simple. Kodak is limited by its converting line. They can make X millions of rolls per year (either C-41, E-6 or BW). They can sell (through Alaris) every roll they make. They have virtually zero competition in C-41 and E-6 segment so they...

    Kodak 100d vs e100

    That sounds more like suppliers who don't want to supply to small volume users. AFAIK Eastman Kodak is happy to supply motion picture film to anyone. There could, of course, be local restrictions imposed by government authorities in Lithuania that complicate access. Not according to my...

    Kodak 100d vs e100

    I just recently contacted Kodak and they sold me single units of the 5294 and 7294 - no questions asked. They sent me an offer (the prices are officially announced for Europe, but without VAT), free delivery in Europe. Everything went very quickly and smoothly.

    Kodak 100d vs e100

    The movie film seems to have different kind of filter and antihalation dyes than the still version does. It will produce a dard green color similar to Velvia 50 in prewet water if used. Also, the first dev and reversal bath will both turn to bright pink. This has on effect on chemistry though. I...

    You are never going to see any information about how much Eastman Kodak charges Kodak Alaris. And you are unlikely to see information about how much Kodak Alaris charges local distributors. A retailer might leak their cost to buy from the local distributors. That FINDLab post would only make...

    Is that priced by Eastman Kodak and if so priced to whom? To KA? Is it all films and what evidence is there that this represents a readjustment from Kodak Thanks pentaxuser

    ...Particularly ifrom Japan there is a soft, pastel and slightly cyan-green pallette that some photographers work with there. Kodak Alaris related, in the last couple of days FINDLab posted that the consumer (35mm) films are now priced by Kodak at "Less than $10". It reads as a general pricing...

    Is the digital photo craze dead? DPReview.com shutting down.

    Yes, I could speculate on that topic, but I will not. I don't think it would be helpful in any way. Only Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris know the exact terms of their contract. We have to accept that. Best regards, Henning

    Anybody buying color sheet film these days?

    If hospitals handled blood supply like that, we'd be in real trouble. "Nurse, give a pint of A+, quick." "Sorry Doctor. We're fresh out. Would B- three weeks old be OK?"

    B&H have to buy from a distributor, including Keith Canham. The distributors probably only order from Kodak Alaris when they have orders in hand.

    B&H Lists XTOl (5L) as Discontinued

    Kodak Financial Situation

    Since Kodak Alaris film sales of $30 million to lower level distributors would include the cost of their film purchases from Eastman Kodak, that has to make Kodak sales to Alaris something less than $30 million, what, $15 million, let's say. That's a small portion of the $75 million in total...

    Like most (all?) private corporations in the UK, Kodak Alaris are required to publicly report their financial statements, and they do. The numbers in that video are interesting, because the financial statements of both KA and EK don't break out the numbers for film. Of course, other than for...
