I don't hate Kodak. I simply ignore them. I don't buy anything made by Kodak today.It is an "I hate Kodak" narrative from Alessandro. We all know, because Henning has made it very clear, that Kodak cannot manufacture enough film to fill demand. In particular colour negative film but also Ektachrome. Additionally, anecdotal evidence from various posters around the world confirms that these films are often out of stock with retailers unable to get hold of it. That's not because Kodak are evil, it's because they didn't anticipate the revival in sales and can no longer make enough for the demand. Fuji also has issues with C200 and NPH400. It's not conjecture, it's not opinion.
Unless you are calling Henning a liar. In which case just say so.
And honestly comparing sales in the first half of 2020 with 2019 when much of the world was economically shut down for months in 2020 and claiming there is no revival is beneath contempt. Film could not be manufactured, or distributed....some consumers couldn't buy because they were in "lockdown" and it was freakin' illegal for them to visit a camera shop and the online distributors hadn't yet sorted their deliveries out in lockdown conditions.....some lost their jobs and/or were temporarily laid off in countries that weren't generous with furlough schemes and couldn't afford to buy film. The whole world economy was phracked in the first half of 2020.
Simpler, better, cheaper.
I have my opinion, Henning has his opinion, everybody is entitled to have their own opinions. You don't agree with mine, fine. I just don't care.
