Some Kodak B&W Film Deletions

[Martin Reed]

Just to add to the general jollity I have in my hand a piece of paper with a Kodak logo on it; 4 black & white films to go;

TMax P3200 135-36, runout date to be confirmed;

Tri-X 320 in 120 format, suggested replacement Tri-X 400 120
Tri-X 320 in 220 format, no suggested replacement
Forecast runout date on the Tri-X 320 is March this year.

BW400CN 120, already gone by the look of it, & no suggested replacement

There are various Kodak colour transparency films to go as well, I'll try to find a link to a web page as it's quite a lot of information.

[Andrew Moxom]

Thanks Martin, I'm glad I switched back to Ilford films 2 years ago.

No, not Tri-X 320 in 220 format! It's my favourite B&W film in 220 format.

(Well... there's not much choice, is there? But even if there were, it would still be a favourite.)

Time to stock up, I guess. But let's first see how this thread unfolds, I can't find a product discontinuation notice regarding these products on the Kodak website (yet).

[Martin Reed]

Those are the only B&W films - can't find the information on any Kodak sites, briefly the professional colour films due to go are;

EPP in all formats, suggested replacement E100G, runout end of Jan, ie now
EPY in all formats, no suggested replacement, runout end of Jan
EDUPE, all formats, no suggested replacement, runout end of Jan
E100VS 5x4", suggested replacement E100G, runout to be confirmed

If that's what Kodak have told Martin you can be pretty sure it's true.

Sorry, hadn't made the connection to Silverprint... Stocking up... now!

Any indication as to whether these are UK distribution only, or discontinuations at the factory?

No info that I could find at kodak.com. Just in case, I've put in an order for TXP 220 at Freestyle.

No, not Tri-X 320 in 220 format! It's my favourite B&W film in 220 format.

I've got a feeling Harman might rapidly re-assess the viability of HP5 in 220
