Canon R6 III and RF 45mm F1.2: Who are they actually for?

This week, we saw some exciting new releases from Canon: the EOS R6 III and the RF 45mm F1.2 STM lens. The latest iteration of the R6 may appear to be a relatively small update on paper, but the changes that Canon implemented are ones that actually make a difference. That includes a new sensor with faster readout and improved video capture. And while the camera is certainly compelling, we think the lens is just as interesting. It's remarkably small and affordable for being an F1.2 lens, after all.

In our roundtable discussion this week, Dale Baskin, Richard Butler, Mitchell Clark, and Abby Ferguson sat down to discuss Canon's latest camera and how it compares to the competition. Of course, we don't leave out the lens, either, with Richard surprising us by revealing just how low the price is.

If you want to learn more about the Canon EOS R6 III, check out our initial review or our first look video. Or, if you're interested in the lens, you can learn more in a separate article and a hands-on video.

Eastman Kodak has resumed direct sales of consumer film after more than a decade

Just over a month ago, Kodak surprised film photographers with the introduction of Kodacolor 100 and 200, two (sort of) new 35mm film options. While the release of Kodacolor was exciting enough for film fans, there was something even more notable: Eastman Kodak was distributing the film directly, not through Kodak Alaris. Now, the company has quietly added two more film stocks to its in-house distribution list.

The move marks a subtle yet potentially significant shift for Eastman Kodak, which hasn't distributed its own still picture film in over a decade. That's because in 2013, Eastman Kodak sold its public-facing film business to Kodak Alaris as part of the resolution of Eastman Kodak's 2012 bankruptcy.

Since then, Eastman Kodak has manufactured the film, but as soon as it left the Rochester, New York factory, Alaris took over the marketing and distribution under the Kodak Professional brand. Eastman Kodak maintained distribution of its motion picture film, but Alaris handled consumer still films. The Alaris film features Kodak Professional branding, with a distinct look that differs from the Eastman Kodak logo and design.

When Eastman Kodak quietly released Kodacolor 100 and 200 at the end of September, it handled sales directly for the first time since the bankruptcy restructuring. Alaris was not part of the marketing, distribution or branding process. Instead, Kodacolor comes in packaging branded with the classic Eastman Kodak logo, not the Kodak Professional brand.

Now, the Kodak website also lists Kodak Gold 200 and Ultramax 400, two film stocks previously distributed by Alaris. Like the Kodacolor films, they have been repackaged in Kodak-branded boxes, ditching the Kodak Professional name. Gold 200 and Ultramax 400 appear to be the same film that photographers are already familiar with, just with updated packaging.

In Eastman Kodak's recent Q3 financial results, the company briefly mentioned the release of its new film stock and its plans. "More recently, our [Advanced Materials and Chemicals] unit’s film business launched still films, which will be sold directly to distributors, giving Kodak greater control over our participation in the consumer film market and providing distributors, retailers and consumers with more stable pricing and a broader, more reliable supply," the report said.

It isn't clear what this means for the relationship between Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris. At the time of writing, Alaris still appears to be the distributor for other Kodak film stocks, including Portra, Ektar, Tri-X, T-Max, ColorPlus and all sheet films. Interestingly, at the time of writing, Kodak Gold 200 and Ultramax 400 are still listed on the Kodak Professional website, though the new Kodacolor options are not.

There has been speculation that the move could result in lower prices for Kodak film, which is what Kodak appears to suggest in its Q3 financials. However, only time will tell what it actually means for Kodak's film business and how that impacts consumers.
