Apparently Kodak Alaris decided to restrict the sale of colour film in bulk, unless you are a movie production.
No more respooling to save on costs, which is what a lot of reseller were doing. Paying USD$8-9 for a roll of Ektachrome instead of USD$22 from Kodak was a significant saving.
As Kosmofoto reports, Reflx Lab says that its respooled colour film might not last long including the Cine film.
All of this coincide with them being sold to a private equity. Correlation is not causation, but coincidences are rare.
