While there is no confirmation or official announcement to make, Kodak is "investigating" bringing back Kodachrome. They are currently considering what it would take to start producing and selling Kodachrome again. Kodachrome was first sold in 1935 and was produced until 2009, when production of the iconic film was...
In an unexpected move at the Consumer Electronics Show (the “electronics” part of the name makes the news even more surprising), Kodak announced that Kodak Ektachrome 100 is coming back. Ektachrome was originally discontinued back in 2012 due to stagnating sales, but later this year, it’ll be back. The transparency film...
The Kodak factory in Harrow, England used to be the largest manufacturing facility in Britain, but diminishing demand for photographic paper over the years has led the company to cease production at the factory, in operation since 1891. Before the factory shuts its doors in October, James Casha, photographer and former...
Eastman Kodak Company and Bullitt Group have announced the Kodak Ektra smartphone. The device follows in the footsteps of other camera-centric smartphones such as the Nokia Lumia 1020, which might be considered a camera first and a smartphone second. Named after older Kodak models, the Ektra features a rear-facing...

We often take for granted the vast amount of technology packed into today’s DSLRs. To help humble us a bit is this fantastic video from Youtuber EEVblog. In it, he does a complete overview and teardown of what many consider to be the world’s first modern DSLR, Kodak’s 1.5-megapixel DCS315, released in 1998.
Essentially...
Like it or not, digital imaging has erased film from most of our lives. There are still some who still hang onto film, though, whether for nostalgia or for its remaining benefits over digital. The same is true in Hollywood, where certain directors -- Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan and J. J. Abrams among their...
When you think of Apple, your mind probably conjures images of svelte laptops, perhaps funky, white desktop computers, iPods, and now recently, iPhones and iPads. Apple is known for helping launch or popularize some major categories of consumer electronics: the personal computer with the Mac, MP3 players with the iPod...
They might vary in shape, size, and the way they function, but almost every true photographer's camera has one thing in common: a plethora of little chips, scratches and dents. These aren't defects, we tell ourselves. They add to our much-loved cameras' character. These are no shelf queens: We got out there, and we...
Here’s a little Throwback Thursday action, taking us to a time when Kodak was a trailblazing force in digital photography, the US had an active space shuttle program, eyeglasses covered half your face, and digital SLRs were the future.
In 1991, NASA sent a Kodak Hawkeye II on space shuttle mission STS-44, making it the...
The last time Kodak released a new camera was in 2012, and the last time anybody got excited about a new Kodak camera was years before that. But the brand still carries some gravitas, apparently, and some players are willing to give Kodak another moment.
Kodak proper emerged from bankruptcy last fall as a commercial...
One of the more surprising product launches at this year's Consumer Electronics Show came from a brand of which most photographers will never have heard -- Los Angeles, California-based JK Imaging. The company's relative anonymity seems likely to disappear with the launch of two products that very closely mimic two...
Last week's PhotoPlus Expo in New York saw a lot of new gear announced and previewed — but one of the things no one expected was a set of Kodak lenses for Micro Four Thirds. Spotted by the Phoblographer, this trio of glass featured prominant Kodak branding, and is manufactured by Sakar.
There's nothing official about...
The world of legal battles between camera companies is a murky one. Between technology patents, similar looking and sounding cameras, and all sorts of licensing, it can be difficult to keep track of who owns what, and who owes what to whom. But recently, a number of companies have become involved in courtroom battles for...
As you might guess from its name, Indie Film Lab is a small film lab based in Montgomery, AL. The lab has teamed up with the folks at Kodak (now Kodak Alaris) to put together a documentary looking at why photographers still shoot film. The documentary is called "Long Live Film," and while we don't know when it'll come...
