    New Kodak Film in 2021?

    They have all 120 stock they wish, C-41, E-6 and B&W. Their problem is; need to have too many choices. They cannot stick to one product no more than two weeks, starts itching; we need more, new labels, new names, and better be cheaper otherwise we cannot afford the newest smart phone and look...

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    There's a bit of a difference in this time. Kodak Alaris has sold the entire photo chemical and color negative paper division to the largest distributor of these products. All color chemistry is manufactured in China, I believe that the manufacturing of ALL Kodak labeled chemistry will come from...

    New Kodak Film in 2021?

    I think you miss the point. You couldn't care less. Likely most people here on Photrio couldn't either. But we are the outliers. Let me tell you, the people who want to buy colour film in medium format aren't shooting Hasselblads, Fuji 6x7 or even Pentacon 6......they're shooting Holgas and...

    ...and colour chemical production (and colour paper production) were divested to the Kodak Limited pension plan, which incorporated Kodak Alaris to hold and run those businesses. Kodak Alaris just recently sold the Kodak branded photo chemicals business and the colour paper business to Sino...

    I've just replied this lunchtime to Kodak / Alaris / Sino Promise, so will report back with developments.

    ...never the same because it was run by suits. Oh, the company today is huge and does wiz-bang business that I used when I was running a university research laboratory, but it isn't a company to be loyal to. Kodak/Kodak Alaris/Sino Promises stopped being the Aldrich Chemical Company a long...

    Matt as you know I'm a little slow. I think it's my looming 65th birthday in 11 months and way too much CP-5 Formalin fixer in my formative years. Playing with Mercury from old thermostats probably didn't help :cry::redface::blink:

I bought a crappy batch of xtol (first purchase of xtol ever) and while I don't regret it, I am also over the...

    Arista is Freestyle's house brand. Sino Promise Group bought Kodak Alaris' photo chemical business.

    That's great. These two developers are a commodity in the United States. Point I'm trying to make is, if Arista can produce quality products, in volume to replace the Kodak's screw up. Don't expect to come in at twice the price. Foma makes beautiful paper but I've never considered their...

    ADOX Fotoimpex is donating their time to help us, so how about stopping posting wild speculation and conspiracy theories and letting ADOX spend their time supporting us.

    With its present troubles, there would seem to be no better time to bring out a replacement for Xtol which another video said you were working on. Can you say what the progress is on your Xtol equivalent? Thanks pentaxuser

    We have never produced for Kodak Alaris. All powder chemicals made by ADOX in the new factory can be identified by the aluminum bags with oxygen barrier. Apart from this we have a chemical and photographic QC on all outgoing batches.

    New Kodak Film in 2021?

    Reversal film makes sense in a world where everyone scans. It's unforgiving. But when you can buy a Nikon F5 in good shape for 300 bucks, you can let the camera do the thinking. Infrared makes sense because they could charge 20 dollars a roll for 35mm and have ZERO competition. Kodachrome...

    New Kodak Film in 2021?

    I doubt Kodak is after to re-produce the exact same look of Kodachrome. However Kodachrome is too important brand to be just like that flushed and lost in past. I'd bet £10.000 on the re-introduction of (according to the new age) well saturated Kodachrome 25 ASA as E-6. The guy from Alaris made...

Oddly there is this in the e-mail: [CAUTION: This email originated from outside of Kodak Alaris. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is...

    at least they responded ! so far they have alerted the general public of a faulty product so they don't have potential troubles and they have responded with a well crafted email. It sounds like the users of their products are in good hands.

    I sent an email to <ProPaperChem@kodakalaris.com> on Jan 1, 2021 and got a Reply on Jan 4, 2021. The Reply asks for my phone, email, mailing address, and where I bought it - and promises to send a replacement to me by mid-February. There was no request for proof of purchase, and no request for...

    ...release the tight but unusual phase 'trade concern' in a sea of gibberish means that they don't want us to know what the problem is. Has anyone heard back from Kodak Alaris about their 'trade concern' Xtol, yet? Even a 'thanks for your email, more details are forthcoming' type of response?

    It would be extremely helpful if Kodak Alaris would give some indication of what the problem was or is likely to be.

    New Kodak Film in 2021?

    The super 8 camera is still listed on their web page and as recently as 2018 there were prototypes being tested in the wild. It is plausible that the pandemic halted work on this, as Kodak weren't actually manufacturing it themselves. Wasn't it Logmar? We do need a basic understanding of how...

    Hold up... we haven't heard about the elusive new S8 camera for years. Pretty much everyone accepts it as something that died... silently. Kodak just stopped talking about it. Last thing I saw were some skateboard videos from 2018 I think. Can you tell us anymore at all? How do they perform? Is...

    I'd take gold 200 in 120 in a heartbeat, though I'm doubtful as outside of Lomography, they haven't had any consumer grade films in 120. BW would be easier to get to 120. I'd take P3200 in 120 in a heartbeat as well, HIE would be nice, as would plus-x. I'd love to see P3200 in 4x5 sheet...

    Matt, this makes even less sense to me. Sino Promise, unless they plan to ditch their new Photo Chem purchase, would be the ones most likely to reassure customers. They are the ones with skin in the game, not KA. I don't believe after purchasing a photo chem division Sino Promises doesn't...

    ...is simply that they would be less likely to understand the import to the end user of what they included in the cryptic December 22, 2020 Facebook post. Someone from the photo chemical division of Kodak Alaris would have been much more likely to either warn or reassure users of film developer.

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    yea I can see that... but would it have really been better if they made an announcement that they received emails and concerns from a variety of sources that the developer's chemical formulation has been compromised due to shipping or packaging issues or mixing which in turn produce lackluster...
