YouTube channel, Overexposed, comments on the latest round of events from Kodak: the release of Kodacolor 100, Kodacolor 200, Ektar 100, Tri-X and now Ektachrome under their own name rather than Kodak Alaris. What could come of this? #believeinfilm

PetaPixel reports that Fujifilm had strong revenue and profits this past quarter. The company in particular pointed out its Instax growth, including a planned expansion of Instax film production and new Instax cameras. No mention of roll film, though. #believeinfilm

CineStill Film is carrying even more film direct from Kodak, now including Tri-X and Ektar. The venerable films are in similar packaging to Kodak Gold 100 and 200. Maybe at a slight discount. #believeinfilm

MiNT Camera has developed an electronic flash bar for the SX-70 series Polaroid cameras. Unlike the flash bulbs of yore, this is re-usable. Gary goes over the in and outs of using this flash with the intriguing SX-70. The flash power varies based on the distance focused. #believeinfilm

PetaPixel muses on whether Fujifilm current film stock is just cut from frozen stock. An email suggests that maybe the company is waiting on raw materials to produce Superia Premium 400, so maybe not? The puzzle continues as store shelves empty out. #believeinfilm
