John,
if you're referring to Fuji, then yes. No 8x10 FUJI color negative at B+H.
However, their website is showing KODAK Portra 400 AND 160 in stock currently.

Yes, the post was in response to another about no one else (but Kodak) making color film. I shoot E100G and (now) Portra 400 in 8x10 for color. So, I will sorely miss Kodak color slide and NEG if it goes away.Originally Posted by DanielStone
Sad. I'm glad that D76 and Dektol formulas are published. But what'll we do without Tri-X? Especially in (horrors) 35mm?
"Bankrupt" doesn't necessarily mean "out of business", of course.
A certainly not when the annual sales are over 7 billion.
The question is only what emerges from the restructuring.
That is operating revenue. Net income was negative three quarters of a billion. Three years of substantially growing losses. If you are in that situation, you are in trouble no matter what your gross is.
But yes, bankruptcy doesn't mean out of business.
Ilford HP5 is a superb emulsion in 35mm.Sad. I'm glad that D76 and Dektol formulas are published. But what'll we do without Tri-X? Especially in (horrors) 35mm?
It is, I just don't want to lose my Tri-X/Diafine combination. It's a good 2/3s to 1 stop usable speed faster than HP5 in Diafine, and that makes a difference. I never go to TMZ until I need 3200.
But, not a deal breaker. I can always use a larger negative to make up for more grain in tiny sizes, especially at today's medium format prices. Delta 3200 is nice in MF when you need "available darkness."
Agreed Roger. For me, it HP5 in HC110 Dil B....for iso 650.
I've hashed it out before and took some flak for suggesting that if TMY-2 goes away Ilford will probably produce Delta 400 in sheets again (they were rumored to be considering it after Kodak canceled TMY-2 in sizes larger than 4x5) but the facts boil down to this: in black and white there are a few Kodak products I'd miss, but nothing catastrophic. My black and white life would need some slight adjustment but would pretty much go on unaffected. Color is a very different thing.
Of course, Kodak filing bankruptcy is a long way from their products all going away. The ideal solution of someone buying off the film/analog side of the business could be rosy, if unlikely. Heck, while I'm pipe dreaming, maybe someone will do that and bring back Kodachrome! In 120! Heck, in sheets! Type R paper!
