I bought the app years ago and forgot the website exists.
Happy to pay $10 for what is essentially an awesome resource and starting point. It means I don’t have to do through hundreds of websites looking for information

Surely you’d just let it hang outside when it’s that big? Most people would understand seeing it on the street.

This is SPARTA!

I buy an EOS300 to replace the stolen EOS33. It's not as good, but it does the job.

This was my reaction.
Although saying that, I can’t find the information that was told to me online. So I might be rolling that back until further notice.

It does however show I will no longer use Synology after this NAS dies as that trust has gone.

Synology doing its best to alienate its customers. Apparently all models pre 2025 are now at end of life. So no more updates.
What the hell is wrong with them?!

I have come into possession of 2 rolls of Kodak EIR Ektachrome.

I’m super excited to shoot it.

Hive mind: what’s your advice?

Very uk centric where water pressure and heating of hot water can be an issue

Yay welcome back!

Why the hell are we normalising “ray ban” spy glasses? It’s fucking creepy.
I don’t care if they’re from a brand name, I don’t want you to be secretly recording me for whatever purpose.

Someone in the cafe was wearing them the other day and now I see them all over social media.

I wonder if the deal is named brands. Ektar/Gold etc
So by rebranding and then selling, they can sell the same product under a different name

I wonder if this means Eastman have calculated they can beat Alaris is any legal troubles. Especially now that the pension fund has essentially been bought out and is now a private VC.

Ok this one seems more credible as others have reported it too:

Eastman Kodak committed to making film ‘as long as there is demand’

Eastman Kodak will continue to make photographic film as long as there is demand, the film producer’s executive chairman said in a call to shareholders this week. Eastman Kodak’s CEO Ji…

This suggests the deal is still in play until 2029. I tried finding the original source but it’s not in the presentation slide deck.

New Film who dis?

I test out K200 in a boring and dry post about film testing and developing in D23r.

My understanding is the Alaris Eastman deal expired a while ago but Eastman waited to see how popular Film is again. It’s now decided it is and is basically cutting out Alaris. From my understanding Alaris may have been blindsided by this.

Not $19 a roll…yet

I guess if they were to cut out Alaris they would need to reset up their distribution lines world wide etc.
