biglouis Posted July 28, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Apologies if this is a repost or if people already know about this but I was sent a link to the survey below which is being conducted by Kodak. It appears to be gathering information on the demand for film. Perhaps they are thinking about the long term and whether they should consider stopping production?

milsu Posted July 28, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 28, 2007 Why the professional photographers only??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodaktrix Posted July 30, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 30, 2007 Thank You Louis! To my mind anybody, professional or not (maybe "semi"professional :-)), who likes film, and wants to use film in the future should answer that survey. It will do no harm, but maybe help.

plasticman Posted July 30, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks for pointing this out - for once maybe it doesn't do too much harm to masquerade as a pro. Plenty of photographers out there who are pros, and don't seem to care much about the future of film... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted August 16, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2007 Quite the opposite to what most of us were expecting I think........... Kodak: Most photographers prefer film news - Amateur Photographer - news, camera reviews, lens reviews, camera equipment guides, photography courses, competitions, photography forums Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted August 17, 2007 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2007 I woinder if the Kodak European survey only solicited photographers on the Kodak professional web site. (As was the case on the survey linked in the OP.) That would surely skew more toward film users. If so many photographers are using b/w film they must be scanning it and printing it digitally. Otherwise why this not so rosie report from June 2005: ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Eastman Kodak (EK) said Wednesday it will discontinue production of black-and-white photographic paper by the end of the year as it continues its transition to digital photography. Kodak spokesman David Lanzillo said the paper, used in traditional darkrooms, is produced at facilities in Rochester and Brazil. The company will continue to make black-and-white film and chemicals for processing. Lanzillo said he could not specify how many employees will be affected, but the decision is part of the previously announced reduction of 12,000 to 15,000 workers worldwide by 2007. That is expected to leave the photography giant with a global work force of about 50,000. Demand for black-and-white paper is declining 25% annually as the imaging industry transitions from film to digital, Lanzillo said. Kodak in April reported a first-quarter loss of $142 million because of a steady slide in revenues from film and other chemical-based businesses and higher-than-expected costs to cover steep job cuts.
