No matter how much "realists" try, we will always have a recurrence of these threads in which a few people will buy several hundred feet and others several bricks of it as if that was enough evidence to make an incontrovertible case for film X's restart.
I wonder why the realists even bother to give facts about what is needed to make it viable. Your contributions are an attempt to educate and are not needed nor welcomed. You are party-poopers and for the party-goers enjoyment, you must stay away

IS there really much of a market for slow films like this? There was APX 25 which was loved and gone. Rollei Pan 25- gone. Pan X- gone. Efke 25- gone. All these films people really liked, but they didn't stay on the market.

I may be wrong, but I thought T-grain films required less silver than conventional films for a similar speed. If true, it would seem to be a smart financial decision by manufacturers to move to T- grain emulsions. If I recall, the push towards T-grain occurred close to the time the Hunt brothers were buying up silver.

I would be thrilled if we could buy fresh Plus X again... but we need a "real" infra-red film. I bet if they coated a master roll of HIE and cut it mainly in 35, and 120, it would sell like hotcakes. I could be an annual thing... kinda like what Konica was doing with their IR film before they discontinued it.
