    Hope this is the appropriate place for this post.

    Oh, good news! It is an excellent emulsion, love it in 120. I'm rather curious as to how "cheap" it will be…

    ...and whether it will come in anything but 10-sheet boxes.

    Awesome! Maybe in a few years they could also drop the price just a little bit?

    Too bad it won't be available in 4x5 Readyloads since they were discontinued.
    If you would like to send Kodak a message to resurrect the Readyloads particularly for this new Ektar sheet film send an e-mail to:

    brad.kruchten@kodak.com (top guy in the film business)

    Maybe it's worth a shot. (Pun intended)

    What are the attributes of this film. I have been shooting B&W for so long that I forgot about color film.

    The problem is that Kodak does not have the ability to make Readyloads. They outsourced that to Polaroid who had the machines to make them as the process was similar to making instant film.

    Since Polaroid went bankrupt and junked those machines they can no longer be made
