larrydressler Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Seems Kodak left before the got too much more negative ratings. http://www.abcmoney.co.uk/news/27200745862.htm Do a Google search on "Kodak leaves BBB" and you get many more stories not allof them the same.

rowland_mowrey Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Larry; There was a long article about this in the Rochester D&C and it too had a lot of differing view points. According to the story, Kodak was a founding member of the BBB many years ago. In recent years, Kodak has found it more and more difficult to get the BBB to update their web pages regarding resolved complaints against Kodak, and therefore Kodak claims that the pages reflected issues that were resolved. The BBB claims that Kodak never got back to them about the resolution, nor did the complainants. Kodak claims that they did. Etc.... In the end, they both got exasperated with each other. That is my take on the article at least, and they drew apart. IDK who is right here, but there is probably something to both sides of the arguments I've seen.

larrydressler Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 I Said to Google it for more information You Gave more by responding to my post. and that is what Forems are about on the Internet. Shairing of information. Not only the Negative but the Positive... I am in no way Wanting to see Kodak go down I love their Elite Chrome and A few other films they make ... but I am pissed that they gave up on Full frame Digital ... I have one.... Lack of Support for alot of questions..... reguarding Supply in my area... and the sudden end of a film then it is all of the sudden there again in a new version..... Example Gold 100 ver6 I wish I had kept all my mails With the Ninkampoops. On their min wage support line. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustys pics Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Don't blame the poor people who work for a moronic CEO at Kodak. They're just trying to hang on to their jobs. Just remember that the CEO sets the tone of the company. Ironically after years of using other films, I've gone back to Tri-X. There is just nothing better in its present form. I'm glad to see that TX is available in 120 again after disappearing late last summer. No one had stock of 120 TX! Who would've ever thought Tri-X would be in short supply? The new Portra color neg films are excellent too. I've made up my mind to keep using Kodak film until the plant sinks into Lake Ontario. By then Mr. Perez will have long since abandoned ship in his golden lifeboat..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Russ That is the Problem Kodak makes great Films In B&W even the Cin DOuble -X 5222 I love and Tri-X 120 and 35mm Along with Plus-X I have like 6 bazzillion feet frozen in bulk ... well exzarated a little but not much I recently started using Elite Chrome 100 ad 200 after my cooling off "." from them First getting rid of Kodachrome 25 after they Dumped Ektar 25 then they dumped Kodachrome 200 thogh a fun not great film it allowed pushing with Kodachrome and leaving us with 1 FLAGSHIP film Kodachrome 64 that is a shadow of the glory days though it is still supurb... In Ektachrome they still make a shit load and I love alot of those... but when and haow will know that tomorrow it is not there .. just dead. Used to be there was a better replacement..... Not anymore... it is gone... Only exception is the Gold 100 got a new life as Gold version 6 recently. I know the bottom line is money to the shareholders but if they have no public where is the line? Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a._t._burke Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I remember when Kodak made the best film. But... That is only because I have a long memory. Kodak ia a shell of its former self. Kodak did not loose customers to other companies, they threw them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I suspect Kodak ships the entire master roll to Mexico, where they slit, perforate, and spool it. Yes, the US labor costs are really an issue, and the Kodak production employees in Kodak were card-carrying Union members. There is RELENTLESS price pressure from Wal-Mart on EVERYONE who sells product through them. As for the BBB, I can see that there are some Kodak consumer digital camera models that have a lot of very unhappy customers. Customer feedback on the C330 model (recommended on Phil's page here) is very variable, to say the least, some customers are really unhappy. The warranty service is the same "it's your fault" approach that most cut-throat vendors of digi-cams have to use to meet the price pressure.

rowland_mowrey Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Larry; I did Google it. It seems that every article about it that I google gives a different set of comments. See the thread on APUG for a comparison of comments. Ron Mowrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
