I was on Canham's facebook page and noticed that he's accepting orders for Portra 400 in 5x7. Last time they were somewhere in the neighborhood of $330 per 50 sheets. It usually takes 4-6 months for these orders to come together due to the minimum order requirement. Now with the news that kodak is no longer manufacturing acetate and have no immediate plans to purchase from another vendor, stockpiling does not seem such a bad idea. Pass it along....

SHEET film is coated onto an Estar base(and is not affected by Kodak's decision in this manner), not acetate which is used for rollfilm production.
