Kodak scam urgent!

Kodak is selling chromogenic film (T400CN) and calling it black and white. They are printing it on a chromogenic (color dye) paper called Ektamax RA or plain color paper adjusted to a neutral gray. Their customers, the large labs servicing photographers, are following suit. Real black and white, which does not fade, is more expensive for them to produce. Future generations will discover that they have family pictures in black and white dating back ten generations but the last two generations will have faded away. If you are concerned or injured by this fraudulent practice, please post your comments at the web site of Lieff ,Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein LLP, by November 19th. (http://www.lchb.com) They are contemplating filing a class action suit forcing Kodak to replace all of these prints with real black and white prints before the negatives fade.

Hey Tom!

What do you call 20,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea?

A good start.

Take a hint.

A search of www.lchb.com yields 3 references to Kodak, none of which involve class-action litigation concerning T400CN or Black & White +. Excellent wit, Mr. Reid, if only it had been witty.

BTW, anyone who thinks Kodak's had a lot of success getting their "color paper adjusted to a neutral gray" from original T400CN should contact Kodak and tell them, so they can pull Black & White + from the market & save some money.

In about 5 billion years this planet will be incinerated by an exploding sun, or sooner if an asteroid hits us, and will destroy all remnants of anything photographic, so who cares!?

Chromogenic film (the correct name) is wonderful. Enjoy!

Let the laweyers play their games, collect their checks, visit their brokers, and take their cruises, while all their dumbnut clients chase their tails in a frozen-frenzy hither and yon in "much ado about nothing" (to quote the bard again!)...while I enjoy the beauty of this wonderful film.
