Yes, the dire predictions of last week, which followed the hopeful predictions of the previous week, which followed... Have at last been truly laid to rest. For now, anyway. Time to order some more Portra 160.

Just bought a roll of 35mm Portra 160 yesterday. Need something zippier, so we'll see.

Sounds encouraging. Maybe I can sleep now without that recurring "What? No TMX or TMY?" nightmare.

They probably noticed all Kodak film I bought recently. Fearing the worst, I stocked up a couple of weeks ago.
I couldn't see how easily I was going to live without TMAX. Although I'll have to start testing the current Illford b&w films now just in case Kodak completely dies at the post.
I've already lost my favorites, Kodachrome 25 and Tech Pan much too long ago.

Excellent news. All the best for Kodak.
Now, if they only would abandon the ink jet printers - it's not their core competence - and focus on film and photographic materials.

Quote from Les's linked article...
All people want are these little yellow boxes of film, and that should be their core business, even it means reducing the company's size further."
Heck, I want the larger format film easily attainable both at the retail level and the labs to process it like my grandma did with her Hawkeye Brownie camera back in the early '60's, tack sharp beautiful square pictures.
Don't much care about 35mm if that's what they mean by little yellow boxes of film.

I agree Tim, it would be great to be able to go to the local lab and easily get sheet film. Heck - even 120! (or 35mm for that matter).
My local lab cant get in any Kodak films due to his supply not well, supplying Kodak films. He doesnt bring in much of anything any more due to lack of sales except for the most part to me (and some times he buys it back to sell to the odd customer looking for a roll or two of b&w).
Sheet film imo is getting a little expensive to buy especially locally but I want to get into shooting 4x5 more this spring so I guess I have to suck it up and pay the piper.
Reading the writing on the wall, I filled my freezer with 35mm, mostly little yellow boxes.

Kodak is in it for the long run and so am I.
