I have just read in the BJP that Kodak is to be bought out by pensioners.....more exactly, the members of the company pension scheme both retired and currently still working for Kodak.

The articles also states there are no plans to drop any current products....and this might surprise some...the film division is and has been very profitable, and in fact there were several companies bidding to buy that division as a going concern.


Another interesting read...the BJP looked at the issue of creativity (declining that is) and age.....with some interesting interviews with photographers up to the age of 100 (he's probably the right age for FM then...

Good for Kodak by settling with their largest creditor before they filed for bankruptcy. The UK Kodak employees deserved no less. The UK KPP will most likely sort through the current film products, eliminating some as they go. Eventually 100 year olds won't have much need for film..... or digital imaging either.

Similar thing happened a few years ago with Ilford. Their current employees bought the film division and changed its name to Ilford Photo. They are doing very well with their film and paper line. Kudos Kodak employees! Go for it!
