Wow, the fact an R&D Scientist is promoted to management (and stays completely engaged with the factory floor for forty years) ... speaks volumes of the company culture. Great company.

@ribsy Год назад

Yea exactly! It’s amazing

Let me guess, you were tired too waiting for the next part of Smartereveryday's Kodak tour and decided to take matters into your own hand? Well done!

Ilford are great. I had an issue with a roll, sent them samples etc they sent me a box of film with a hand written apology. I was blown away.

@ribsy Год назад

W moim mieście (Włocławek, Polska) był zakład spożywczy z ponad 60 letnią historią do którego jeden z klientów odesłał opakowania z drobną usterką z prośbą o udzielenie informacji co to za wadą. Okazało się że wada jest na tyle poważna, że byli wdzięczni za bezpośredni kontakt zamiast publicznego oskarżania o produkcję szkodliwej żywności. W ramach podziękowania podana osoba dostała Pokaźną porcję tego produktu i komplet sportowy klubu który sponsorowała.

@ribsy Год назад

@carbonejack Год назад

That's incredible. When we open a roll of 120 we have no clue about the process. Quality process and dedicated workers. Love it.

@ribsy Год назад

def great to learn about the process

@phoenixr6811 Год назад

I really appreciate Ilfords dedication to film, I heard that when the lockdown was in place for Covid they work extra long hrs to make sure there was enough film for everyone to still buy👏🏾☝🏾

@ribsy Год назад

Ilford are great

@caryconover Год назад

Really cool. Amazing to think about how I've taken film for granted my whole life, with only the slightest idea of how it's manufactured. This really puts a nice visual in my head. Tomorrow I get paid and will splurge on 25 sheets of FP4 8x10

@Foxglove963 Год назад

YAY!!! Right on, Ilford rules!

@ribsy Год назад

Haha spend it all!

@squareformat День назад

This was a great video. You did a great job. I've been shooting film for 25 years now. And never actually seen inside the Ilford production factory like this, so great to see it. Thank you for sharing !🙏

@Otokichi786 Год назад

Once upon a time, when Eastman Kodak ruled North America and Ilford Inc. wasn't officially in that market, I remember reading a photography magazine article on the "bone crushing" tale of making gelatin. Then Gelatin was processed to create the photographic emulsion for film and paper. This video is a tad fragmentary on the start of the process at Ilford.

@ribsy Год назад

Thanks for watching

@PlanetIscandar Год назад

I contacted Ilford in Germany and, I'm telling you, i can't remember any other company that assisted me so well and so friendly in multiple emails, although they don't produce anymore the type of paper i use.

@ribsy Год назад

I hear this often. They are great 😊

@VictorWyatt Год назад

That was awesome! Just shot some 120 HP5+ yesterday. It was cool seeing how it was produced but I cringed a little seeing that one spool unrolled in the light. 😆

@ribsy Год назад

Hahaha yea that was heartbreaking

Interesting video, coincidently I was just looking at some Ilford BW 35mm film in my local Max Spielman shop inside the huge Tesco store where I go shopping and was surprised they still sold 35mm film there, I must pick up a roll. I bought a kodak ultra for my Olympus mju zoom 105 would be great to try some BW photography on it. The 'secret sauce' is the fact the workers there are dedicated, long standing and loyal to the company, all that experience means their product will be continue to be class leading.
