Kodak Discontinues More B&W & E6 Products
This press release for dealers came out on October 19th, I've only just seen it though and wondered if anyone else had?
There are a few things on there that I didn't even know they still sold!

In colour it is E6 that is being hit in certain sizes. Interestingly C41 and RA4 chems aren't mentioned. Still a lot of colour neg done but E6 processing must be the country cousin these days with fewer slide takers. The pros who did a lot of slides seem to have done digi
When was the last slide show any of us were shown in anyone's house and increasingly these days at camera clubs? Mike |

Some of the people associated with the 'Light and Land' workshops seem to be prominent E6 film users.

The items listed in the link are low selling products, so no surprises there. There are alternative products available from other manufacturers such as Ilford Perceptol for Microdol-X.

Most of the product discontinued lines didn't seem to be available in the UK - so for me it’s not such a big deal
The list was not as grim as I first thought when I re-read it Kodak seem to be rationalising their products into the most common/highest selling package sizes - which is perfectly understandable Martin |

TMax P3200 for the chop
Wrong thread, but Kodak all the same, there's another list of things to be phased out, this time films. Most of them are colour transparency, but there is one B&W due to go where there is no real substitute, TMax P3200. Not sure when, it's marked 'to be confirmed'. They suggest TMax 400 as the replacement!

Hmm Never used TMax P3200. I don't think I saw it as readily available as the Ilford Delta 3200 in the UK.

I do hope that when Ilford have the monopoly in 3200 that it does not result in the price will have a take it or leave it premium attached to it. I like D3200 usually at 1600 but there are occasions when 3200 is useful and I do find it up to the task. Maybe I'd better experiment with Fuji 1600 to see how it matches up in case I need to vote with my pocket and switch. Mike |

They didn't have a lot of colour transparency films to discontinue. Are there any left now?

The Kodak announcement is here.
The biggest loss is the 120/220 format KODAK PROFESSIONAL TRI-X 320 film in my view. Although many say that the 320 emulsion was not as good as the 'standard' Tri-x, I quite liked it.
