Almost out of film!

That certainly is good news. I would think that 100' rolls of Tri-X would be one of Kodak's better selling itmes. To discontinue it would be like my local grocery store discontinuing milk...

If Kodak was in the grocery business, they'd probably discontinue milk due to the low profit margin and declining sales due to the increasing popularity of Vegan diets.

I would venture to say that, since 1954, more really good 35mm photographs have been made on Tri-x than all other 400 speed b/w films combined.

Also measured in good photos/1000 films sold?
I don't know for sure but its likely Tri-X sales (since 1954) outnumbers the other 400 ISO films combined
Its a bit like fishing. the lure that catches the most fish is the one that is used most.
Kind regards

Concerning the discontinuance of bulk Tri-X. I did read this on RFF recently. Turned out to be a rumor that was later discredited by Kodak.

Someone over there said Plus-X was going to be discontinued in Japan. I hope that will be discredited, too ...
