December 8, 1995



Eastman Kodak Company
343 State Street
Rochester, New York 14650

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Eastman 
Kodak Company, a New
Jersey corporation ("Kodak").

With respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the 
"Registration
Statement") filed today by Kodak with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission
for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended,
5,000,000 shares of common stock, $2.50 par value, of Kodak 
(the "Shares") to
be acquired under the Eastman Kodak Employees'Savings and 
Investment Plan (the
"Plan"), I have examined originals or copies, certified or 
otherwise identified
to my satisfaction, of such corporate records, certificates, 
and other
documents and instruments, and such questions of law, as I 
have considered
necessary or desirable for the purpose of this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares 
will, when the
Registration Statement has become effective and the Shares 
have been acquired
as contemplated in the Plan, be legally issued, fully paid, 
and non-assessable.

I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the 
Registration
Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,
