Freestyle has some 5x7 TXP
It, along with the many thousands of sheets of Azo I stockpiled, are my "doomsday" supply. Many, many years from now, if even Ilford joins Kodak in the history books, I'll still be shooting and printing.Originally Posted by Jan Pedersen

Until then, I'm a happy Ilford camper, greatly enjoying 4x5, 5x7, whole plate, 8x10 and even a little 11x14 FP4 Plus / HP5 Plus, as well as MGWT FB.
B&H has 5x7 Portra 50 sheet boxes.
These days the only kodak film I use is Tri-X. The rest is Ilford. But I gotta say - if it goes, its going to be hard to replace Tri-X...... Lets hope some vestige of Kodak remains to produce its most popular film.
I have to say even if Kodak keeps making E100G (which is my color film of choice 80 percent of the time right now on 8x10), I am going to stop buying it. Why? At current B&H prices...
Kodak E100G: 10 sheets costs about $140
Fuji Provia: 20 sheets costs about $170
I like Provia, and in fact, it has way better reciprocity than E100G. So, after the three boxes in my fridge are gone, I'm done.
I will still be buying Portra though, as there is no alternative practically right now in 8x10 in the U.S.
I seriously doubt that TriX is even close to being Kodak's most popular film.
Well no, that would probably be one of the consumer C-41 films, and Pro color I expect outsells their B&W.
But it wouldn't surprise me at all if Tri-X is Kodak's best selling black and white film, especially if you combine both 35mm/120 TXT and LF TXP as "Tri-X." As wonderful as TMX/TMY are, they are different and lots of folks (including me) love Tri-X.
The most telling Kodak quote in that article:
"...we know that there are hundreds of passionate fans of film..."
Not millions, not thousands, but hundreds!
