Can I stop panicking now? Should I switch to bitchin' that the film companies raise their prices so that they can financially destroy me? Why do these companies hate their customers so much?
"Dear customers,
We want to apologize for the temporarily not working websites www.foma.cz and www.foma.eu.
Unfortunately, there are some technical problems on the side of our supplier, who is now getting it to work again.
The web-sites of our e-shop are working without problems: www.fomaobchod.cz.
Thank you for your understanding."
foma.cz is up again.
I have strong feeling that their webserver & instagram were hacked.

That is hysterical, thanks!Can I stop panicking now? Should I switch to bitchin' that the film companies raise their prices so that they can financially destroy me? Why do these companies hate their customers so much?
But you know that Foma loves you, forever.
Poland, Slovakia, Austria and Germany...

Yes, maybe we will find Ukraine next to Tunisia and Libya one daySeems like maps are changing continuously. Hard to keep up.
Fortunately for Kodak, sales of Ferraris, Porsches and big luxurious mansions all set records last year. So the fact that your taste doesn't support such things doesn't matter to any of those product lines. Those who want and can afford Kodak film will buy it. No matter how much moaning and complaining happens on PHOTRIO.Kodak has too many Ferraris and Porsches and big Luxurious mansions built into their pricing for my tastes.

kodak’s pricing is way too polluted with non-related costs. Thanks to gross amateur mismanagement.
carlos perez did try to turn kodak into xerox, though. It was such a circus.
Yes, this makes sense, Lachlan. Can you give us what Foma said that leads to your conclusionCustom made organic chemical components can make a Porsche look very cheap indeed. Foma have essentially said that if you wanted them to make qualitatively and quantitatively equivalent films to Kodak, they would not be cheaper.
Foma 200 does not love me, and I don't love it, so we decided to call it quits. I'm great friends w/ the 100 and 400 though, and thanks to them and Ilford Delta 100, it's a rare occasion when I put anything from a yellow box in a camera anymore.
It is possible. If it has happened then no-one from Foma is going to admit it and rightly so. I am somewhat surprised that a state cyber attack had not been attempted before. There may be no connection but Foma is a company from the Czech Republic and that country as I understand it from BBC News has sent arms to assist the Ukraine. Neither do I know if Instagram has been cyber attacked or if it is simply Foma's Instagram account but I'd be amazed if in the next few weeks we do not learn of other more ambitious cyber attacks on more "Western" companiesSeems their instagram account is still unavailable. I wonder if their accounts had been compromised as somebody suggested earlier.
That's maybe the last thing most people want. Developer and fixers that are brown, reps that say they will refund your money and don't. Who needs Kodak?if you wanted them to make qualitatively and quantitatively equivalent films to Kodak, they would not be cheaper.
Indeed, it's not important to me as all it really did was repost other peoples post. Just thought it was interesting that both it and the website dissapeared seemingly at the same time.Foma was around long before the internet or instagram. With all the possibilities in the world we are living in that could slow production, Instagram is probably near the bottom of the list.
Jonno85uk, My post was not meant to be a derogatory statement about your post, apologies if it came across that way. What I'm saying is, I believe social media is overvalued in the world today and that Foma is so much more than the sum of its internet presence.Indeed, it's not important to me as all it really did was repost other peoples post.

Ilford films are very good, Kodak has nothing that can compare to the Delta 100 films. I can get equivalent images to Tri-X w/ Foma 100 and 400 in 35mm (I believe it was just the 120 rolls of Foma that had issues), maybe better. Those films look beautiful in many developers, and I use Foma papers at times w/ no issues.
Where's the Kodak papers? If they made them they'd probably be brown too. Even if they did work well, Kodak would abandon them just as people got them dialed in.
Kodak: the company that was. Foma: the company that is. The only reason Kodak films are so expensive is because they're totally incompetent at running a company. That's what you're paying for, their mistakes.
