Bit shady, yeah, but I hope it'll help them stay afloat. Fuji already did the same move, simply because they're both chemical companies to begin with. I have my selfish reasons - i just need my film.

Oh btw for everyone's knowledge, the Kodak discussed here is the Eastman Kodak Company. The photographic film made nowadays is still branded as Kodak, but it is financed by a different company, named Kodak Alaris. Kodak in Rochester still makes the film, they're not just the ones distributing it anymore (that's the job of Kodak Alaris). EKC after their bankrupcy diversified and concentrated their efforts mostly on inudstrial photographic applications, so the pharmaceuticals venture wasn't really a surprise for me. This is just like Fujifilm actually getting more income from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals more than their photography. Edited to correct the supply chain discussion.

Developing process is a little bit different but I do it in my bathroom and it seems easy enough for me. Developer is made from CD3 agent which can be found on eBay or Alibaba and a few other chemicals from any local chemistry store. Remjet could be removed before developing by using a baking soda solution or it is better to follow h2407 document to make proper pre bath. Best bleach and fixer are these for automatic C41 processors but any custom recipe for C41 works as well. All recipes are available on the internet. All chemicals are completely safe if you don't drink or wash your hand in them. I got to love that process

They obviously knew that digital would eventually become a thing but I don't know what else they could have done. They were stuck between a rock and a hard place. So they milked it for as long as they could. In the early 2000s they still had the belief that people would want to keep printing out their digital photos so they made the Easy Share? system which made it simple to dock your camera in a printer. But they were wrong on that too as most people didn't want to print them out. I guess in hindsight they should have started a digital photo sharing platform and become what Instagram is today .

where's the "and Rise" part?

Fall on hard times? Make and sell drugs!

They probably hold tons on patents for different compounds. Fujifilm is now raking it in from their patents on the different compounds.

Hmmm new stock options introduced right BEFORE the announcement, looks like Kodak has been roleplaying as Enron while no one was looking

From making chemicals for photography to making chemicals for drugs, doesn't seem like a stretch to me.

A Kodak worked had invented the digital camera in 1972. Kodak hated it because it was “invasive”. It was a threat to them. That is Rochester for you. A city of dead dreams.

Kodak is back

Between its long-time greed (absurdly high prices) and world-record bad decision-making, Kodak doesn't stand a chance. All they had to do was stick to their ORIGINAL, primary mission and adapt to the future.

"The function of management is to create wealth..." for themselves.

They should have shifted to more technical areas and let the large mass cosumer mind-set go, they could focus on fabricating and engineering image sensors and advanced image electronics, developing new technologies in those sectors, Sony was smart enough to do so and now they dominate smartphone image sensor global market, selling hundreds of millions of sensors each year.

What I am sad they do not mention is that Kodak was split at the time of bankruptcy, there is a company called Kodak Alaris who still makes film. And with the small photography market, they have a big monopoly on it in North America.

This is just so sad and pitiful. I really wanted to be angry at the extreme short-sightedness and greediness of the management but seeing a company which was on top of the world reduced to playing such petty antics is disheartening. It is like seeing Tesla or Google doing something like this to just prop up the share price without having any business. I don't think Eastman had the faintest idea that his company would be reduced to the equivalent of homelessness.

In my view, best is to go parallel by making older medium more accessible, easy and fast to use and affordable. They could upgrade their machines, anything to keep the celluloid active, because the results are real and digital has its own beautiful look but trying to emulate film on it looks fake and cheap and it shows most of the time that it's fake. I'd still use brushes and paint on paper and still keep using photoshop, just depends on the project. You can photoshop and print, or directly paint, but you know the value of the physical work as the only original piece.

Meta is new Kodak

The rise? .....what rise? They have not even gotten into making pharmaceuticals yet. What's worse is that it's to make generic drugs. A notoriously low profit/margin business that is already highly competitive. How exactly is Kodak going to make money or create real value with this?

Who uses the term "kodaks" anymore? Like if someone kept saying, "i took a couple of kodaks from him." I'd call them pictures or images. Kodak was only one of the film suppliers.

I'd guess by everything I've heard and since I've personally witnessed him doing other stuff that is as bad or worse that it's very likely Johnathan David. That's the thing with me. I hardly ever believe what I hear... but if i see it and then what I hear corresponds and then there's running with that crowd then I don't need any more evidence to believe it. I don't feel any need to prove it to anyone else but I know and that's all that matters here.

Company man? 🤣

If it’s true that Kodak didn’t violate any SEC laws, then they’re just skating through a loophole, and we need to AMEND the law. (In my opinion) It does NOT mean that their conduct was anything less than criminal. (Allegedly)
