I look at this as "good news". I for one was of the opinion that Kodak was soon to be out of the B&W silver emulsion business. This press release indicates to me that Kodak will remain a producer of these materials. In addition this would also indicate that Kodak may continue to produce all the ancilary chemicals & paper. With this said, I must admit that I have been using Ilford materials for the last 4 years. When this change occurs I may get a few rolls of Tri-X to see the difference.(posted 8132 days ago)
