You have to put the film in a vacuum chamber and take the film to an extreme vacuum. Ideally you need a freeze dry unit. basically you freeze the film then use a vacuum to remove the moisture. As the pressure goes down the boiling point of water lowers to where even ice will vaporize. The moisture i...

I apologize. The story about Kahl passing away was fake news. Someone apparently saw the news about Klose on Facebook, more fake news from Facebook, and jumped to the conclusion it was Kahl and sent me an email regarding Kahl passing away. Although I will say that Kahl is a hard guy to contact.

I believe Alfred Kahl may have also passed away. Can anyone verify the death of Alfred Kahl. I understand ADOX got the perforators from Kahl. J.S.

Shhhh!

The new prices are in the price change bulletin for December 2017. Canadian prices are $38.15CDN. You can verify by calling (800) 621 FILM. The empty cartridge from Kodak is exactly the cartridge used by Kodak for Super 8 film.

Please note that Kodak increased price of all Super 8 products to $29.99 from $25.95. This is the price on the Kodak site. The price from B&H and other resellers is higher. Is this a hint for the price of the new E100? Actually $29.99 wouldn't be too bad but I have a feeling the E100 price will ...

I hope Kodak uses this new found wealth to develop new film stocks.

Kodak shares spike 200%. Is it the announcement of the new Ektachrome? No it is Kodakcoin the new cryptocurrency that allows photographers to track illicit use of their work on the internet. My only regret is that I didn't buy Kodak when it was under $3.00 a share. Oh, why didn't I have faith in big...

Early information from Kodak indicates that S8 E100D will be priced at about $35/cart and E100D(7296?) will be available as 16mm by special order with a minimum. 16mm will not be a standard product and not be sold as 100ft spools. Minimum order will be something like 10 to 20 400ft spools at about $...

The heavy weights have checked in. I have faith again. Or tweeted in.

Kodak Alaris making Ektachrome just doesn't add up. Our friends at Ferrania have shown that manufacturing color reversal film is not a simple nor inexpensive matter. Producing color reversal on a commercial scale requires complex chemistry and equipment and the personnel to put it together. Where is...

Google Kodak Alaris. The comments are not encouraging. Dissatisfied employees, layoffs, difficulty making payroll. I think Kodak shoveled off all the failing divisions and products to Alaris and said go for it boys and good luck.

Naturally we associate the name Kodak with film. But in reality Kodak is a printer,printing and document company with a little real estate thrown in. So, to the decision makers at Kodak the printing company, film may be at the bottom of the list for any action. Regarding Hollywood's need for film, c...

judging from the comment in the annual report about releasing the kodak name and symbol to the company making the S8 camera, Kodak is not making the camera. They have farmed that out. Actually while the camera is nice addition, there are many S8 cameras waiting for a good color reversal. The entire ...

Kodak has raised the price of S8 TRI-X from $20.50 to $25.95. Bringing TRI-X price in line with other super 8 products. B&H has increased their price to be more in line Kodak's new price but not as high as the V3 products. Unfortunately Kodak does not give retail sellers much of discount that is...
