Not sure about colour Kodak film, but the black & white stocks have been in short supply here in the UK for a while.
ColorPlus 200 has been out of stock since late summer.
Yes, I can see how the only supplier on this planet with a full range of professional films is making it more difficult than it needs to be.Kodak sure is making it hard to shoot color film as an avid amateur. I like photography but I can go either way on color.
Hopefully when the dust settles we'll have more idea of product availability and pricing.
I don't really think you have an alternative, considering Fuji's film range, or what's left of it. And even then, Kodak is cheaper, at least I Europe.Kodak sure is making it hard to shoot color film as an avid amateur. I like photography but I can go either way on color.
Alternatively, to pay off their debt and buy KAThat's fine by me, if they plan on using the profits for R&D, and perhaps to bring back more emulsions (HIE) from the past!!
, and the Lomography colur negative films are out of stock in several places - that's believed to be Kodak stock too./QUOTE]
Kodak stock? That can't be right can it? According to Henning Serger the latest Lomography Metropolis c41 film is a brand new film. He has been to the factory and spoken to the engineers. Could he have meant the Kodak factory and Kodak engineers? Surely he would have said so, wouldn't he? I have asked him to clarify his #85 in the new Lomography film thread but have yet to hear from him?

I can almost guarantee you that ilford will follow suit with prices..Kodak need to take a long hard look at themselves and their markets.
Supply and demand is fine, providing you don't price yourselves out of the market.
I'd love to keep using Kodak B&W film but Ilford B&W film is much cheaper, especially in the UK, and the difference does not justify the higher prices Kodak charge.

At this point I simple want good quality control from a film, reliable results. Particularly T-Max 400 is a very useful film that isn't exactly comparable to other 400 speed films, as much as HP5+ and Delta 400 have their place.
I haven't managed to get close with anything else.
