Kodak lives!

Unread post by bakubo »

We spent a month in Thailand and just got back to Japan last week. Several times in Thailand I saw Kodak signs. Do these still exist in the U.S. and elsewhere?

Hi Henry. In a report from CES 2015 I heard that someone had bought the name and was using it as a brand to launch a smart phone; but not a smart phone aimed at camera users, but rather a smart phone aimed at 'seniors'. :/ They didn't mention the film business.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Yeah, the Kodak name was bought by a Chinese company and they also make some m4/3 gear:

But, the Kodak shops in Thailand I saw aren't that Kodak, I think. They were film processing shops and also sold Kodak film.
