Kodak.

American photographic manufacturer, known for its emphasis on film products and a mass-market consumer orientation. The company’s full name is Eastman Kodak after its founder, George Eastman.

Though the maker of many well-known cameras over the years, particularly the breakthrough Brownie camera in 1900, Kodak is known today primarily for its important work in film technology. Most currently-used film stock, in fact, derives largely from Kodak technical innovations.

Kodak is tied with Fuji Film in terms of global film sales.
