Anything new from Kodak as new company?

It's 2013 and we still have what I consider to be more films to choose from than I could master in a lifetime. And that is the key thought here, be like a master photographer and use just a handful of films to great effect, create strong styles with one or two films that stand the greatest chance of sticking around.

 

I don't want anyone to have Kodak E6, Kodachrome or Plus X again, because it is not financially viable or responsible for them to risk the other products in the current line up just to please a handful of people. They discontinued these products for a reason folks....your massive annual spending on 10-20 rolls a year did not cut it, period. You used the products but your friends did not, blame your friends, not Kodak, Fuji or Ilford.

 

The writing is on the wall for every film maker, including Ilford in that once a product consistently underperforms, it is game over for that product, otherwise the entire product portfolio is at risk. Why people can not see this is totally baffling to me. Might be time to stop slathering the Internet with crying over what you have lost, potential newcomers to film will likely read that and think that what is left to use is not worth trying and that would be a real shame...

 

Kodak is not bringing back what they have discontinued, end of story, feel free to read this 10 times in a row to get it through your heads:

Or stay in production at least. Mmm, perhaps I will get another MP :D

Good idea Pete, take a second MP :)

I currently have an M7 (and 6 M lens) but I do not want to see pictures of my M8 and M9, I would like to buy also a MP

I just paid 30 rolls of Kodak Portra (KP) 160 and 400 Isos (5 E the roll KP 160 and less than 7 E KP 400) . Better price when

buying in large numbers by 30

The development currently costs me 4 E / roll, but I will soon develop myself as for b&w. I expect my heating bath. I purchased the Tetenal C41.

the film is not dead
