EXHIBIT 5
April 11, 2000


Eastman Kodak Company
343 State Street
Rochester, New York 14650

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am General Counsel and Senior Vice President 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, 200,000
additional shares of common stock, $2.50 par value, of Kodak (the "Shares") to
be granted to participants, or issued upon the exercise of options and stock
appreciation rights, or issued in connection with other awards granted under the
Eastman Kodak Company 1997 Stock Option 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 when the Registration Statement
has become effective and the Shares have been issued and delivered as
contemplated in the Plan, the Shares will 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,




Gary P. Van Graafeiland
General Counsel and Senior Vice President
