Eastman Kodak Rebrands More Photo Film as It Regains Distribution Control

4 November 2025 at 20:54

Two Kodak film boxes are shown: Kodak Gold 200 color negative film on the left (120 format) and Kodak Ultramax 400 color negative film on the right (35mm format), both with yellow, black, and red packaging.

When Kodak quietly and surprisingly announced Kodacolor 100 and 200 at the end of September, analog photographers were rightly excited. However, the most interesting part of the announcement was perhaps not the new film at all, but the dramatic shift in how Kodak is selling film.

DJI’s Drones, Both Branded and Disguised, Are Even Closer to a US Ban

3 November 2025 at 21:55

A large drone hovers over a snowy landscape at sunset, casting a shadow near a person standing on the snow with mountains visible in the background.

A unanimous Federal Communications Commission (FCC) vote last week puts DJI in even hotter water. However, despite initial appearances, the new decision is not as problematic as another issue that DJI is dealing with: a very slow security audit. All these things taken together indicate a very real chance that DJI drones will be officially banned from entering the U.S. by the end of this year.
