Increased prices, undesirable packaging and fewer choices leading to further decreased sales and so on. Maybe the 10 sheet packaging reflects Kodak sunsetting large format film for commercial use and the artistic use is so small that we're expected to piggyback on the final offerings for the commercial market.
