I don't know if many people here use Fuji Pro 160s in 4x5 sheets, but I noticed that they recently stopped selling this film in 50 sheet boxes. It is still available in 10 sheet boxes, with the net effect of raising the price of the film by about 20%. I guess they thought we were getting too good of a deal.
I've been considering switching to Kodak for a while now, my main reason to stick with Fuji has been the nice price of the 50 sheet boxes (especially from Freestyle—about $10 less than everywhere else). Now that the price difference is pretty much moot, does anyone have any thoughts on the differences between Fuji Pro 160s and Kodak Portra 160NC, for outdoor landscape work? I scan my film, I suspect it won't make much of a difference in the long run, just curious.
Oh, and if anyone is using the Portra400NC for outdoor work and scanning it, I'd really like to hear about that. I've been wondering for a long time if I should just give myself a break and switch to 400.
