Kodak gray market film can be made in the USA and designated for use outside the U.S. If it's sold in the U.S. it's gray market because it was shipped outside the official distribution channel. You are on to something when the film, again Kodak, is made in another country and shipped to the U.S.A. Why should Kodak film made in France and shipped to the U.S. be cheaper than film made in the U.S. and used here? I don't know unless the labor costs in France are that much cheaper than in the U.S.--which I don't think is the case. But then, why do you think Kodak brings out a new film format every 12 years or so?
