Kodak were still trying to sell Kodachrome to dealers in the UK after Dwaynes had stopped processing it. Some in their sales departments don't understand film.
I have vivid memories talking to the national salesman of Kodak here in Australia about Kodak Portra NC160 in 120 format and having him ask me "Is that product film or paper?".
Someone mentioned the 'new' Kodak, where the marketing and sales of film was bought up by the Kodak UK pension-plan. They will be selling to wholesalers and national distribution chains, not delivering stock to customers. This is a foolish and/or incompetent distributors error.
C'mon guys, Kodak is better than this - and we all know it. Can we get a more appropriate thread title?
AgX, that would be Kodak Australia - the pension-plan didn't buy national distributors, did it?

Decades ago I spent a few years working in a small commercial darkroom. When the local Kodak sales rep would stop by he'd sometimes wander in to talk shop for a bit while I was working. As I recall, I could ask him just about any technical question regarding Kodak's products and he invariably knew the answer. Never had to "get back to me." And his answers were always correct.
