until end of february kodak had a stock of 12x20 160 nc film (cat 153 0781). unfortunately that film has been scrapped. they might be willing to make another batch but only for 30.000$ prepaid which is a bit out of my league. there is a lab in san francisco (light waves) that can process c41 12x20 and has done so in the past with great results. i don't know the price per box right now.
anybody out there who might be interested?
Hello Christoph!
SAY IT AIN'T SOOO!!!!!
I REALLY hope this isn't true as I am about to place an order for the film. I can't understand why it would have been scrapped as it should have had another year before the exp. date.
Where did you find this out at? I know quite a bit about this original order and I have been in touch with the Product Planer as well.
The retail price for a 10 sheet box is/was 310 dollars a box.

hi tedd,
i found that out when i tried to order this week at light waves. nobody bought it recently. i can forward you kodak's e-mails, i don't want to put them here on the net. but they are very specific and the film has really been scrapped.
I take it you guys are doing color contact prints?
Is the film going away entirely, or just in the 12x20 format?
This makes me SO MAD! I had even worked with Kodak to reduce the minimum oder of 30 boxes down to 5.
If they were planing on scrapping it why not make contact with me since we were alreadu in touch!?
Christoph please do forward the emails to me. tedd@soost.com
CXC- Contact prints yes but also color enlargements. I and an LF lab here in Sweden just finished building a 20x24 enlarger with a color head!
It is a horisontal and the largest B&W print is 1,2x2 meters. We will be testing it this weekend. I will post pics soon.
The lab you can read about here: http://www.forstoringsateljen.se/fa.html
The english version is coming soon....

I have the interest of this film. Please post the result here.
I too would be very interested in this film as I am working on building a 12x20 portrait-format camera (12" wide x 20" tall) to use in the studio. While I primarily intend to shoot b/w for alt process printing, it would be nice to offer color prints as an option.
Sorry, I've missed that thread when it came up a few days ago...
I would just like to point out that J&C had been in close contact with Kodak for quite some time now to make t-max available in ULF sizes... Why not allow them to handle the sales of the film instead of scrapping it???
Scrapping it? 10 000$ worth of film to the garbage?????
I just don't get it...

I would have been interested in a few boxes so I could get it cut down into 5x12 sheets. However, more than three boxes at once would be way too much (space and dollar-wise).
