The Film Shortage
The resurgence of analog photography has completely outpaced manufacturing capabilities. Highly desired film stocks like Kodak Portra 400 or Fujifilm Provia are constantly on backorder at major retailers like B&H Photo, leaving photographers scrambling.
Hoarding the Restocks
When a retailer receives a pallet of film, it sells out in hours.
- Format Specificity: Ensure you are tracking 120 medium format film, not just 35mm.
- Smaller Retailers: Monitor independent camera shops that occasionally get surprise allocations from Kodak.
Stocking the Fridge with kAIros
Point kAIros at the product pages across several major and minor camera retailers. Instruct it to text you the exact moment your preferred film stock changes from "Temporarily Out of Stock" to available, allowing you to bulk order before the limits kick in.
