Sad news! In this recent article from "www.ephotozine.com" Kodak announced that it will be selling off the film division (and related businesses) that made it a "Blue Chip" company in the first place (see link below).
Kodak To Sell Film And Paper Division
I guess this is their "official" recognition that the golden days of film are over. Truly a sad day for all of us film lovers.It's is perhaps timely that there have been many announcements lately (in advance of Photokina) indicating that digital photography technology may finally almost be able to replace what film can do, almost!
Still, Kodak is selling it, not closing it down. There is the distinct possibility that Kodak will sell the film division to another company that will continue to produce the fine products they are known for and maybe with a little capitol and complete access to all their assets expand the business.
Hey, if you;re gonna dream, dream big - right?
I have always been a big Kodak fan but I have been wanting to experiment more with some of Fuji's pro offerings. I guess now might be a good time, after I stock up on Portra & TriX.
