Greed. They wanted to keep their existing market highly profitable for as long as they could because so much was invested into it.

It's a shame they never really could get a good kick into DSLRs.
Fuck... it's a shame many don't use film anymore.
I think I saw the last store Kodak has in my town, it looked sad and lonely..
I remember Kodak setting the standard for film as well as film cameras.
Why they never innovated is beyond me
The physical film died 10 years ago. Digital has dominated everything

This is what constantly kills companies or products. Like how other firms make expensive Android tablet hoping to make Apple-like profit margins. Only Apple can sell stuff like that.

It's the subtle graininess, the mild chromatic aberration that makes the pictures look so natural, nothing like it IMO.

Just the fact that it takes so much work and dedication to even have a finished photograph is a reward in itself. All the chemicals, techniques, tools and time; it is a work of art, a specific skillset. Infact, I have lots of negatives hanging in plastic filer sheets on my walls. Each roll of negatives, a day of memories to remember
