First, if this topic has been discussed already, I am sorry for the duplication. I did attempt a search on this forum, but did not find any reference to this topic.
Second, my contact at Kodak is reliable, so I don't think this is "rumor or speculation doom & gloom".
I have been asking numerous large photographic supply shops (both "brick and mortar" as well as "web" based) about the availability of 220 slide film.
What I have found is this, only a very few, even have 100VS in 220.
I know that 100GX was discontinued, but is 100G and/or 100VS (in 220) likewise discontinued?
NO ONE, and I mean no one, seems to have it!
The Kodak website still list both VS and G as available in 220.
To help answer this question, I e-mailed my contact at Kodak and asked in part... Is 220 discontinued, or are they such "slow" movers, no stores want to carry them?
The response from Kodak was in part as follows:
"I'm sorry to say that, due to the lack of demand for color reversal in 220, we no longer offer any. We continue to offer the E100G and E100VS in 120, as well as 135-36 and sheets through most dealers of Kodak Professional products.
Please let me know if you have future questions on these or other of our Kodak Professional products."
Once again, gee, no wonder 220 backs are going for pennies... Buckle your seatbelts... looks like another bumpy ride for 220
