The market for camera film could be mistaken for all but extinct, but these newly launched Kodak Kodacolor films are here to help chance this perception. The camera films come in the Kodacolor 100 and Kodacolor 200 options, which are both ideal for photographers who are on the hunt for ways to reduce their film costs without holding back on the hobby. The films are being produced by the brand at its Rochester, New York factory that will see it shipping directly to retailers to effectively expedite the process to keep costs low and also meet demand with greater precision.
The Kodak Kodacolor films are priced at around $9 per roll, which is positioned as competitive when compared to alternatives on the market.
