Kodak Continues Collapse

Kodak is in decline — there is nothing you will do to save them, nor slow their collapse.
The Lost Film Forum cries — and nothing else. LFF is unable to do more than rend and wail — Kodak is leaving — they are in market zombie mode — walking, but walking off stage.
Moves are displayed and distributed digitally — no more shredded sockets. The Kodak production of film has fallen, not a little, not in half, but to less than 6% of what it was 7 years ago. And that was such low volume the company was on the edge extinction.
16 movies in the pipeline isn’t enough to save this beast — it will starve — and the keepers of the fire will sell off the remains as brands, maybe some notebooks.
If you like the film, buy some — if you are committed to using film, try others — do that now.

stop buying expired film, or film will expire

to renew growth, buy new

Cure Low Production Count

Stop shopping
easiest productivity improvement — get off line.
second best improvement — don’t buy more than you make. Shoot all that old film. Print all that old paper. Stop shopping, start working.

translate some times this has good meaning

The prejudice of many photographers against the color photography occurs from absence of perception of color as forms. You can tell color such that can’t be stated black and white. Those who say that the color photography will force out as a result black-and-white, talk nonsense. They don’t compete. These are different means to the different purposes.
