SHOULD I STOCKPILE KODAK FILM NOW?
Thanks for correcting me. The correct info is that Kodak policy is to announce 6 months or 180 days in advance. This info is from an ex Kodak manager who knows the policies and believes them to still be in full force. I should have said "6 month notice from Kodak," NOT "3 month notice."
MY conclusion is to CHECK for notices of discontinuance every 3 months, near the beginning of the month, to make sure to have a chance to get some remaining product for my freezer. Sorry for the typo/garbled line.
Note that these are NOT mass media notifications. They are notifications sent to dealers which I was told will also appear on the kodak.com web site. Discontinuing all film production would surely be on the TV networks nightly news. Discontinuing one particular film almost certainly would not be. I don't want to be blindsided.
