Did any one else notice that Kodak just raised the price of their 8x10 TXP Tri X 10 sheet box from $54 to $77?
On the positive note, they *slightly* decreased their price of 8x10 Portra 160 8x10.

Wow what a bargain!
That would mean Tri-X is now nearly on par with Acros 100 from Japan Exposures.
But so far that's just B&H. Badger is still $48, and Glazer's is $55.

Didn't make sense that Tmax 400 was 50+ % more per sheet than Tri-x.
Wish they'd make it all $54/box instead of jacking up the Tri-x. I've got a bunch in the freezer from B&H and also ordered some from Canham at similar prices.
I think it means that Kodak has sliced up their last master roll of Kodak TXP 320 and will discontinue it soon in favor of TMax 400. That's what it says to me.
Kodak TXP 320 in 8x10 was a while ago discontinued except for special orders.

If it was discontinued, then B&H was reguarly getting new inventory of it for the past year.
Buying/investing in Kodak film and freezing it yields greater returns than buying their stock!
This has been typical for Kodak. It took ages to run out of the old Portras and new stock kept showing up for a long time after it was discontinued.Originally Posted by jp498
Alas! Poor Kodak, I knew you well!
