Relevance of Film in 21st Century

Did mine too!

I've done BW photography for years off and on. Started when I was in the 5th grade. It's been about 10 years since I processed my last roll of film. Fun catching up on everything here.

Just discovered this group and going ape wild trying to read and absorb all the knowledge on it! Wonderful.

I like digital, but I L O V E film.

Wish I'd bought that Jobo back when I orginally wanted it.

Film Forever.

Kodak's next report is due out soon. I think that we should wait to see that and also compare it to Fuji's sales figures.

It will tell us how robust analog product sales are WW.

Actually, Kodak's report was released three days ago.

I dared not post a link to it because I'm not permitted to do so on the relevant fora and didn't think it relevant here.

BTW, didn't you have some say in the matter of getting me off the Product Availability thread?

FWIW, the company returned a quarterly profit (for a change). Due in part in that digital sales were up a small, but respectable percentage over the prior reporting period:

This report does not break down the decline in analog sales b/w film, chemicals and paper products. But it does suggest that Kodak thinks the worst is over. But doesn't every interim report say that? :rolleyes:

They continue to hitch their future profitability to, in part, taking a significant share of the digital image printer market.

George;

I had nothing to do with your access to the product availability thread whatsoever. I am not a moderator.

You may want to look closely at the Kodak analog figures for this quarter.
