Velvia 100 discontinued in the US

[Deyoung]

Just checked the box I bought, yep, expired as of 2021-05. I bought only one box so not really going to worry about it too much.

It is not discontinued in Canada but it is rarely in stock up here

Any govt control is unwarranted. Almost all are about as bright as a black rock. Hopefully the kodax E100 will stay with us.

I'm totally satisfied with E100, so I'm hoping also that this will be available for some time.

Understaffed EPA has better things to do . . . .

Adept adapting.

Yep. There's a multi-billion dollar industrial superfund site about fifteen minutes up the freeway next to the bridge, where the temporary asphalt containment layer is beginning to erode into the Bay due to sea level rise, with horrible mutagenic effects already showing up in fish and harbor seals, and no doubt in people eating fish next. Directly across the straight, who knows how many billions have already been spent trying to clean up the old shipyard. I know quite a few people with horrible health who once worked there, or died prematurely. There was only one EPA agent for this entire metropolitan area trying to enforce legal lead paint removal standards for homes and commercial sites. At one time only a single person monitored the vast illegal pesticide trade in the San Joaquin Valley - a dangerous job because not only did the same cartels who smuggled in cocaine traffic these pesticides, but due to the inherent health risks of the occupation itself. That one person was a close personal friend and almost exploded with all kinds of weird cancers, and died at 52, which is about as long as most crop duster pilots live. So yeah, I'd assess that the EPA has some pretty harsh priorities still ahead of them. But film manufacturers have their own kind of economic and distribution priorities. Take it all in stride, and realize that people would be cussing at you too if you had to shoulder the same kind of responsibility. Nobody is perfect.
