E100 4x5 is in stock at many European dealers.

This film is probably in low demand and dealers keep low stock so even relatively few buyers stocking up before fall season can empty multiple online stores in relatively short time...

I've got two boxes of Velvia 50 4x5 in my freezer. They're up to around $400-500 a box, getting higher faster than gold.

Interesting. Hard to imagine all the major vendors do not have it but this Amazon outlet does. Thanks for sharing this link.

Be careful. I found Amazon outlets have film whose expiration dates are only a few months. Call them and ask before buying.

Alan, I'd thought of that issue as well. I'm not desperate at this point with both MF & LF platforms to use. I still have E-100 in film holders and a new box of 10 in the fridge. Just loaded up on MF 120 a couple weeks back. My plan, as always, buy both lots for the year. However, the lack of LF Kodachrome places it on hold presently.
The response from B&H was a no idea on availability at this time. However, I heard Adorama has a message with a November ETA. I'm good until then at this point.

How does the cost compare to making a trichrome?

I reckon I can shoot a trichrome on 4x5 retropan 320 and develop in rodinal for c. £/$/€ 5 per trichrome.

Last time out I underexposed the green channel and didn't have my film holder completely consistently positioned during DSLR scanning so the output was a little ugly.

Has a charm to it @Richard Lawson ! I was having fun making trichomes with the red filter replaced with infrared last year.

That's wild. I just checked my freezer and found 15 boxes of Velvia 50. I still have 20 boxes of Pro400h and 160. I'm sitting on a gold mine

I still have an unopened 20-pack of E100G Readyload sleeves in the freezer. I have no idea if they're still good or not.
