Misguided KODAK advertising

[Alan Gales]

Can not speak for the baby monitors, but I have found the "heavy duty" batteries to be very light duty and of rather poor quality.

Thanks for the heads up.

I use Eneloops. They are said to be the best. If you catch Energizers on sale, they aren't bad either.

Remember, in the '80s Kodak owned Bayer aspirin for a while. That was said to be 'diversification' to avoid possible hostile takeovers.
This sort of stuff is nothing new- but in the distant past, when EK had something made for them, it was photo-related and of high quality. Oh well.

I lost my good career 2008. Now I bug you guys.

...KODAK no longer makes SG paper...

Yes it does, tons of it. RA-4 color paper. Just not black and white paper.

That must be a new process.

All I see is Fuji and Aristacolor.

Here it says discontinued. Where do you buy it? http://www.freestylephoto.biz/846968...-50-sheets-(F)

Not that I know of.

My grandchildren are teenagers...

That's what I tell the IRS: "I have no kids, to speak of."

I don't buy it. However, anyone who wants to has many choices here:

Sheets were discontinued some time ago, but rolls continue to be offered.

I stand corrected.

What I find interesting is Costco nearly matches color prints between wet Frontier with Fuji Crystal to Epson Inkjet also using a dry Fuji paper.

"heavy duty" are not alkaline batteries, but the old carbon cell batteries before Alkalines came around. That's why they are cheap, and die so soon.

Well, I suspect those who are purchasing baby monitors now most likely don't have a clue as to what to do with film. Who needs film when they have their iPhones??

Admittedly, most if not all of my "snapshots" are indeed with my iPhone, since it is with me pretty much always, but I also carry a film Nikon in my vehicle. Just in case something really nice might appear and make a good black and white print. For pure pleasure I use medium and large format B&W.

Come to think of it, I don't believe I have ever had anything actually printed from the iPhone snapshots - those images just meander around in cyberspace. Ahhh, silver is forever. Bits come and go. I wonder if there could be a business model for large scale transferring of digital images to archival film??????????? Surely someone somewhere is considering it. Might be a good project for someone with enough years ahead of them to work it out.
