Available 400 speed B&W in 120?

[Chiron]

So it's been some time since Fuji killed Neopan 400 in 120 and that leaves me wondering what exactly is left?

I see that Freestyle has Arista Edu, but that looks like rebadged Foma. I know that Kodak still has (new/different) Tri-X. Are there any other options for B&W in 120?

Thanks,
Chiron

P.S. Has anyone seen a press release from Fuji that states one way or another if they're replacing Neo 400? Not wanting to speculate or pass rumors, just wondering if anyone's seen anything solid.

Soon there will be Holga branded 400 .......

Off the top of my head this is what I can remember. Check Freestyle and B&H and I am sure you will find a few more.

Ilford:

Pan F
FP4
HP5
SFX
Delta 100
Delta 400
Delta 3200 (ISO 1000)

Kodak:

Plus-X
Tri-X 400
T-Max 100
T-Max 400

Fuji:

Neopan Acros 100

Efke:

Ortho 25
25
50
100
IR820
IR820 Aura

Adox:

Ortho 25 (possibly the same as Efke Ortho 25, though I am not sure)
CHS 25 (same as Efke 25)
CHS 50 (same as Efke 50)
CHS 100 (same as Efke 100)
Possibly others that I don't know off hand

Rollei:

Pan 25
Ortho 25
IR 400
A few more with which I am not familiar (Do they have an 80 speed and a 20 speed b/w, or is that Adox?)

Foma:

100
400
possibly more

These are all I know off hand.

2F/2F beat me to the posting.

All that counts is that you have the information. I shoot mostly Kodak Tri-X 400 in 120, Ilford HP5+ in 4x5.

2F/2F, nice list.

I don't know if you want to process in C41

Ilford XP2 Super

It's C41 process, but it has a clear substrate so you could print on B&W paper unlike the discontinued in 120 format Kodak BW400CN

[2F/2F]

Oops. I listed any 120 film, not just 400!

...and I left out XP2.

Are BW400CN or the Fuji b/w C-41 film made in medium format?

[MikeSeb]

2F, you're a mensch. The top of your head is a more, er, active place than mine!

BW400CN has been terminated in MF, sadly.

[2F/2F]

Thanks, Mike. I know all of these films exist because I have used most of them at some point or another, even if not regularly; all except the Foma and the Efke Aura. I also work near Freestyle, so I am in there frequently.

So, for 400 it looks like:

HP5
Delta 400
XP2
Tri-X
T-Max 400
Foma 400
Rollei IR 400
...and probably some more that I don't know (possibly including Fuji's b/w C-41 film, which I have never tried)

I'd say that if you liked Neopan 400, then Delta 400, T-Max 400, or Rollei IR 400 would be the most suitable replacements.

Ah but the relative price of IR400 is pretty sobering, unless you need the long wave response! I just ran through five rolls of it and took a few sans filter to see what would happen, it looks OK, but not at $9 a roll for 120.
