plasticman Posted February 28, 2011 Share #43 Posted February 28, 2011 Just scanned some 35mm and the results are breathtakingly better than the old 400. Pity my composition and timing was totally off (I'll discuss this in another thread shortly), but the colors and grain are magnificent, and barely distinguishable from the old Portra160NC. It's also really forgiving in mixed artificial lighting. Incredible, lovely film - truly luscious! A lifesaver for dark Swedish winters (and dull Spring)...

Dan Ryan Posted March 3, 2011 Share #45 Posted March 3, 2011 Back on January 7 this year I made some optimistic comments about Eastman Kodak (EK) when it was trading at about $6.00 - its latest close was at $3.19 At this time of year, in 2009, it touched a low of $2.00 There is this discussion about the current situation in the Wall Street Journal: UPDATE: NJ Investor Group Seeks Sale Or Turnaround At Kodak - WSJ.com and see this http://www.rbj.net/article.asp?aID=186789 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted March 3, 2011 Share #46 Posted March 3, 2011 Dan, I do not get the sense of your posting as it does not contribute in any way to this thread. Sorry, to say so. But there is another one on this forum regarding the financial situation of Kodak. Feel free to join the club there. Kind regards Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Ryan Posted March 3, 2011 Share #48 Posted March 3, 2011 Steve The sense of it is that it is interesting. And others have commented in this thread on the topic. See: holmes 7.12.2010 alun 8.12.2010 plasticman 8.1.2011 Nonetheless, after reviewing the posts to date, I agree that it is not in the mainstream of the thread. However the assumed superiority of your comment is offensive. You could have sent me a PM if you wished to chide me, and to direct me to another club elsewhere. Public reprimands do nothing to make new members feel at home. And thank you Plasticman for joining in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public reprimands do nothing to make new members feel at home. And thank you Plasticman for joining in. I responded to your earlier comment with a flippant, throw-away (though true) response because frankly there wasn't really much more to be said about the matter in this particular thread. Reviving the doom-and-gloom gets short-shrift for a reason: namely, you could go through pretty much any thread about absolutely anything on the film-section of the forum from the last (say) ten years and find that, if the thread grows to more than ten or so posts, the eleventh post will be about the imminent death of film. People here have heard thousands, if not tens of thousands of times before that film is absolutely, imminently, definitely, we-promise-tomorrow, okay-the-day-after tomorrow, correction-yesterday, dead as a doornail, gone for ever, dodo, dinosaur, DEAD. That's why people get irritated. You'll have to excuse us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
