$110 per box of 10 sheets 8x10 TMY2?

[jnantz]

Anyone else see the Facebook update from Canham cameras for TMY-2? "Estimated" price is $110/box, so $11/sheet, plus shipping. Ouch...
I love TMY-2, but $11/sheet is getting into color film territory. And silver is down compared to some years ago, oil is waaay down, but are labor costs up THAT much?

Not complaining, I won't be buying, but just something I saw that boggled my mind.

silver IS down, a few years ago it was 46$ (USD) / troy oz now 18.24$
tmy2 it is good stuff, but ilford, foma, adox, even photo paper is fine for me
i will let someone else tow the line and pay the lien.

Probably is true when you use baking soda as a fixer.

Yea. My own optical prints... And it's well-documented that tabular grain is much fiber than traditional grain, it's also common understanding that TMY-2 is essentially as fine grained as Delta100, so extreme difference between that and HP5+ and don't get me wrong I love the stuff, I use it a lot, its been my number one 400 speed film (besides Neopan400 when I could snag it, but that's 120 not LF) so I know it's an excellent film.

8x10 Kodak B&W film is all custom order stuff, IIRC, so I'd expect it's going to be co$tly.

It's hard to keep track of these things since Kodak Alaris doesn't announce them, but 8x10 TXP was made a stock item again recently. B&H lists it at $76.50 per box of 10, still quite pricey compared to HP5 Plus but not quite so breathtaking as the price Keith Canham needs to ask for a custom run of TMY.

Some of use got in on Keith CanHam's TMAX 400 order. Same ballpark. The 8x20 is $255.00 per box and the 11x14 is $225.00.

I better make mine count.

My understanding is that all 8x10 is custom ordered by Keith and anything sold by B&H is going to be stuff from the same order that Keith does, in other words B&H most likely buys in when Keith orders. This is my understanding not saying it's fact, but as I understand it all film cut bigger than 4x5 is a custom order and Keith is the only one who Kodak will deal with for custom orders.

My request stands...
Sorry but your statement is nonsense.
