    50 sheets?

    I just bought 2 10 sheets of Portra 160. Will 4x5 50 sheets ever come back?

    Don't count on it for color.

    you can find anything if you look hard enough, I usually start at my local hunts, then have them call around, then B&H, then Calumet the Freestyle. Call in person, it helps. Recently I couldn't find 120 tri-x but calumet had like 200 on hand, and a couple years back I ordered 9-100 sheets from freestyle, they were the only people who didn't laff at the request and they got it to me quick and even threw in the shipping for a good joke!

    You have to buy 50 sheet boxes if you shoot portra in 5x7

    It was the new MG ART paper, right? That's packed in 50 sheets for 8x10. Makes sense given the price of this premium paper.

    No, it was just your regualr MGVIv RC paper. not that THAT is cheap in any way... espceially when you are a student in a state college that costs just as much as a private school and you take a ine time class you couldent care less about... (which is the case with most of my students... )

    I really wish Kodak would bring back the 50-sheet boxes for color film. I currently need to re-pack my film for travel. I can fit 50 sheets into a 10-sheet box, but I'd prefer to travel with factory-sealed boxes and the repacking is a hassle.

    I'd be happy with 20 sheet boxes like Fuji comes in.

    Tri-X is a fifty-sheet deal. I guess Kodak figures the price tag of a 50-sheet box of portra might be intimidating.

    It certainly is to me.
