Isn't Vision 3 mainly for movies? Why would you use it for stills especially because of the remjet problem?
400ft of Ektar would be awesome. What the heck, 400ft of TriX400 too.
W ho is co-ordinating all these responses and sending them to Kodak or was that not the point of this thread?

Film wise I would like:
1) Fast slide film like Ektachrome P1600
2) Bulk load of their 3200
What I think Kodak is doing wrong as a business is a lack of branding and outreach. If you go to reddit and search r/analog, I would say 90% of the photos posted are taken with Portra or Gold. Their demographics are young people who want to be engaged and feel like a part of something. Not the old farts like us. They are basically boomer marketing and merchandising the company.
It boggles my mind how Kodak does not market themselves like Ilford. compare their twoish websites. Ilford has tutorial videos, videos about photographers, articles, products. All of this is easy to access and find. I;ford wisely seperated their other products from the film site.

Look at Kodak's site. Everything that Eastman does is all there. Hard to find and no how to videos, spotlight on photographers. Nothing about their history and who used their products?

They do have a film club but that website is impossible to find and hasn't been updated in a bit. All of the "club" activities take place in Rochester.

In 2003 an exhaustive Kodak marketing research project showed that sponsoring the 2000 Summer Olympics and the 2001 Winter Olympics and additionally paying for massive advertizing, did not influence their sales at all.
Then again, 'branding and outreach' are not quite the same as a massive advertising campaign. While the latter can be an extension or part of the implementation of branding, they're really very different things.
Having said that, I don't quite agree with the original statement that there's a lack of branding and outreach. Well, at least in terms of branding - I think Kodak is still one of the most recognizable brands on the planet, which is very disproportional to its economic impact. Outreach is a different story; while they do appear to try quite a number of things, one can always wonder how well concerted the approach is.

It has been a while since I bought a roll of Kodak film. Are there no longer box ends for the memo holder on camera backs? Just curious. I never used them. If there was any doubt in my mind what film was in my camera, I looked at the ASA dial.I want the little box ends for the memo holder on camera backs. Ilford still packages single rolls, so the box tabs are readily available.

I'm not going to be holding my breath for this wish.

No one. Everyone one stating wishes is just venting.

The small tabs are on the boxes of five rolls.
In 2003 an exhaustive Kodak marketing research project showed that sponsoring the 2000 Summer Olympics and the 2001 Winter Olympics and additionally paying for massive advertizing, did not influence their sales at all. So your thoughts in this case do not align with the facts. Why do people think that the Kodak employees are totally unaware and never had an original thought in their lives?
The toilet had just been flushed at that point. Their sales were spiralling the tank and about to vanish from sight. Throwing a bucket of money in there may have slowed that down a tiny bit but there was not going to be a net positive at that point in history.
Their stupidity was in never trying to convince people that film was actually good.

Scanning through this thread, I'm surprised at the lack of calls for Kodachrome. I know it's not going to happen, but I want my Kodachrome back!!
Me and Paul Simon, that's two of us...
