More Kodak discontinuations

[John NYC]

So now we've got stock items in 8x10 of Portra 160 and 400 (the new ones) and E100G. Hmmmmmm.... I wonder which one is going next?

[Roger Cole]

E100G if I had to bet. I love that film too, at least in 35mm.

On the one hand I'm kind of glad I haven't taken the 8x10 plunge. On the other hand, color in 8x10 is already so expensive I would rarely shoot color even if I had 8x10, and in black and white I can live happily with Ilford.

[Daniel Stone]

Roger,

SHHHHH!!!! Don't let Kodak think we're all moving to Fuji ! I love E100G for times when I want a bit more "warmth" than Provia provides straight off. Kodak's greens, IMO, aren't as radiant, but a bit more natural IMO. I like both though, and will shoot what gives me the desired results.

E-6 isn't a popular process these days though, especially in 8x10...

[Greg Blank]

Same here.

I knew there was a reason for me switching to Ilford for B&W films several decades ago.

I get the impression that they don't care.

KODAK PROFESSIONAL TRI-X 320 Film / 320 TXP / 10 sh 8 x 10 in
Special Order Only

My favorite film, by far. Fantastic behavior in PMK, the most beautiful tones.
My stock will endure one year, may be two.

I can't believe! How could such iconic film have so low demand in the US?
Someone in this forum stated that we talk a lot about cameras and lenses, but do not go outdoor making images.
I'm beginning to agree.......

Or will be Kodak doing it on purpose, just to abandon film?

[Frank Petronio]

Won't a place like B&H easily fulfill the special order requirements?

[mikebarger]

Glad I stuck with 4x5.

That's it in a nutshell (not enough film being consumed), and really there are not that many of us even talking about 8x10 in the scheme of things.

Oh there are lots of people here that shoot 8x10 (and larger) but we sure can't afford to at the prices Kodak now charges for 8x10 film stocks, therefore we purchase other brands.
