this is very cool: Kodak quietly relisted Kodak Gold and Ultramax on its website and confirmed to me it is selling the films directly to photography stores again. this is a big deal because for the last decade, Kodak has not controlled distribution of its own film https://www.404media.co/kodak-quietly-begins-directly-selling-kodak-gold-and-ultramax-film-again/

@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social isn't it the case that the enthusiast company that has been continuing to make the original film has now secured the original name and *become* Kodak?

@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social i used to shoot bricks of VPS and Tri-X. Are those films still around or what would their equivalents be?

@jasonkoebler@mastodon.social the claim that Kodacolor 100/200 are brand-new emulsions is fascinating – Kodak themselves admits they're not quite new (https://www.instagram.com/p/DPRHtyQjenU), and the edge markings imply that we're getting Kodak 200-8 (ColorPlus) and Kodak 100-8 (ColorPlus 100, until now mostly sold as Lomography Color Negative 100) i actually wonder whether they bring back UltraMax 800, because it's already being manufactured (Lomography Color Negative 800 and Kodak disposable cameras)
