What do you know of that has become cheaper and easier to get in the last 3 years? I can't think of anything.
Anyone know if Kodak sources their triacetate from the same ex-ORWO plant (IPI Industries) that everyone else in Europe does?
That means any time they are not making color film, they are losing money
The weird thing is that since confectioning is a bottleneck (supply issues, not enough lines), you’d think they would want to sell more bulk product.
Supply of raw materials is the problem. What do you know of that has become cheaper and easier to get in the last 3 years? I can't think of anything.
Nope.If film interest diminishes, they will stop making film, not lower prices.
They are making a lot of money.
Nope.
They will reduce prices to encourage people to buy more film.
They are making a lot of money.
About 2% - company wide.
1/10 of their revenues come from film and chemicals.
9/10 of their revenues come from their other, mostly printing industry related businesses.
They have publicly accessible financial statements.
It is fine to
If you think an American business that becomes a monopoly
Kodak has a monopoly on black and white film? I guess the guys at Ilford, Fuji, Foma need to be told they don't actually make film.
Here is the deal:
If what everybody is saying in defense of Kodak is true the price of Cinema film will go up as well. Well it does not.
Proving they price gouging film photography users.
The same goes for bulk, loading film.
I prefer to stop shooting color film to feeding some monopoly [...].

The raise is a lot lower.The just released (February 15, 2023) Kodak motion picture product catalogs include some significant increases. 400 feet of 5222 is up to $421.02 CDN - about a $40.00 increase.
Here are the links to the respective catalogues: https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/page/order-film
For ease of comparison, here are the prices as of February 2023: https://www.kodak.com/content/produ...nge-Bulletin-eff230215d-Select-Films-Cans.pdf
And these are the prices as of one year earlier - February 2022: https://www.kodak.com/content/produ...e-Change-Bulletin-eff220204a-Select-Films.pdf
MOD BREAK: expressing discontent is fine. Foul language is not.
The raise is a lot lower.
Also price per feet is wayyyyy lower.
Proving that they are gauging still film shooters.
Also I assume other countries pay more for stuff. We still live in a unipolar world for a reason.
