Future of Kodak TMAX in 5x7

[reggie]

Hi:

I searched the threads but didn't see anything on this.

Does anyone know if Kodak has any plans on discontinuing TMAX 100 and\or TMAX 400 in 5x7 (or any other sizes for that matter)? I know JandC sells the TMAX 400 in 5x7, but they are the only site that I can find that sells it. I believe their stock came from the special run that was made, which implies that it will not be a regularly stocked item.

Thanks.

T-Max 400 has not been available from Kodak in the past. J and C had a special order of 5x7 and the ULF sizes made for them. We now can get T-max 400 in 5x7 for the first time. In Canada I sell T-Max 400 in 5x7 and the ULF in a deal worked out with J&C. We all plan to keep it available if people will buy it. I would say that with Ilford offering a full range of sizes, and T-Max 400 in a full range of sizes... things have never been better for the 5x7 and ULF shooter.

Now if there was only tungsten balanced color film in 5x7.

Kodak Portra 100 T is available in 13x18 cm.

That's what 80A filters are for!

Ditto everything Rob said above. We have a large supply and we can order it again at some future date if there is demand.

So, I don't have to order a freezer and hoard? That'll be a switch.

It is starting to get like gasoline, though. $2 a sheet is pretty steep. I will have to remove the motor drive from my Canham 5x7 and take a pass on those borderline shots. Not to mention $10+ per shot for my 12x20. But that's what I get for shooting with a SUV.

Thanks all.
