But I found it just "ducky" (from two years ago)
But I found it just "ducky" (from two years ago)Plus-X was nothing magical. General purpose medium speed film. People tend to glorify and romanticize anything they used which no longer exists.
See those tones in the duck feathers? Only Plus-X can do that.
As I posted elsewhere, HIE.
Speculation, but not entirely unsupported speculation.
That´s the biggest nonsense i´ve heard this year. Not only is this an uniformed rambling but it´s insulting to everyone working for Alaris and committed to film. You know, many of those working for Alaris worked for Eastman before and ust transitioned into the new company in 2013. Andy Church, the guy in the video works for Kodak since 1988 and now works for Alaris.Not a fitting analogy, sorry. Alaris is more like 7Eleven than AMD. No manufacturing, no designers either. I am also renaming them back to Alaris in 2021, so there's only one real Kodak.

I would be fine with that.... maybe Kodak Ektar 1000?... But it'll probably be some 35mm consumer grade colour films... High speed maybe?
TMZ in 120...Plus-x
It was before I was interested, but how did Plus-x compare to FP4?
Do you think it´s not worth engaging with? Not meant in any attacking way, I´m just curious. I mean, it´s the only magazine of its kind currently, and it´s a lot of work and comittment publishing a quarterly 100+ page print mag like that, that´s not only filled with portfolios but proper articles, documentaries from all over the world with a perspective on the bigger picture.I for one was impressed that a relatively large company like Kodak Alaris are prepared to engage with the Silvergrain Classics magazine. They can hardly reveal trade secrets via Zoom webinar but the effort is much appreciated.
One previously available film may be brought back into production
Perhaps Plus-X? I'd bet that would sell well...
Actually, Verichrome Pan might be a better choice, it was made with an extended exposure range to work with Box Cameras, and that might just be an advantage oif you knew how to utilize it.
More accurately, worked for Eastman or one of its international subsidiaries, like Kodak Limited (UK) or Kodak Canada or ...You know, many of those working for Alaris worked for Eastman before
In its last years, it was Plus-X emulsion on 120 or 620 base, with less effective anti-halation than that used with normal Plus-X.Actually, Verichrome Pan might be a better choice, it was made with an extended exposure range to work with Box Cameras, and that might just be an advantage oif you knew how to utilize it.
You might be both happy and unhappy, because I would guess that 35mm only is a real possibility.I would be thrilled if this were true!
For Ektachrome, it was KA, but the opportunity to also make it in Super 8 for EK helped with the viability issue.I would be interested to know if the driving enthusiasm for new films comes from the EK side or the KA side.
That business, or at least support for it, is now owned by Sino Promise Group - Kodak Alaris just sold it.Maybe have 5 or 6 labs in the USA and Canada, run by Eastman Kodak that would offer the kind of processing that disappeared when Eastman Kodak stopped their processing labs.
