The one item I like/prefer to use has been Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner (KRST), so I hope Photo Systems will make that one available.

Such great news. PSI has been supplying Freestyle with their Legacy Pro, Unicolor and Silver Pixel (RA4) chemistry for many years- I’ve never had trouble with any of the products. When the bad Dektol was out there I and many others were happily using the PSI equivalents with no problems, and when the Xtol supply dried up the Legacy Pro product worked just like the Kodak product. They’ve been in business 45 years and I think it bodes well for US users that they are located in Michigan.
Like many, I moved away from Kodak chemicals in my darkroom. But I stayed with Kodak films, TMY, and to a lesser extent TXP. I did regret xtol and hc110 and might be tempted to use these film developers again. But I will stick with Ilford products for paper chemistry.

Wouldn't that be Big Blue Dektol?
Also what I was thinking. However, it's possible that they were under restrictions with previous licensees that Photo Systems might themselves be able to discard. (Hopefully?) Pure speculation, though.
Clearly, John Sexton is upbeat about this news. So, that's encouraging.
Yeah B+H won't ship Kodak Indicator Stop bath to Canada. Freestyle has other restrictions like ground only, continental US etc.
Anyhow I've moved on. White vinegar diluted approx. 1+1 is working strength Kodak stop bath. "State of the art" would be Sprint's stop bath but I don't bother.
Good news. As long as they also keep putting out 4x5/8x10 film in color/transparency and bw, I will be happy.
Wish Acros would make its way back. I have 120 sheets of 4x5 in the freezer, I am afraid to use because it is the last of it.
