Sal:
Do you have a source for the 220 info? The Website still refers to 220 being available - in fact specifically lists it as an advantage.
Black and White has not, of course, been available in 220 for some time, so the revision to the backing paper makes sense.
In fact, the removal of the 120 and 220 numbers from the backing paper may make it easier for them to use the same paper for both.
And the backing paper for 120 and 220 is entirely different. with 220 having more than one type of Start mark.
I guess I will have ot see if I can convert my Mamiya 220 Inserts to look (and work) the same as the 120 inserts.

They picked up the 100 because it was the newest recipe that had being reformulated.
Or so was my understanding.
Might also be due to materials available.
T film is very niche?Yes, but I do have a recollection that their next moves would be ISO 400 E-6 and possibly the 800/3200P. According to Dave, Nicola et al are fans of tungsten-balanced films too; There was some talk from E-6 shooters (I was one of them) of asking them to introduce a 640T emulsion instead of a 400D, as a 400D shot through an 80A color correction filter results in a 2-stop loss, making the effective speed EI100, whereas a 640T emulsion with no filter is really 640T, and shot through the proper color correction filter for daylight only drops the EI to 400.
If I can't have a 640T emulsion, 400D or 800/3200P daylight balanced is certainly okay with me.
Yet another APUG thread gone off-topicThis thread was about Fuji, I swear!
Well- I'll definitely be saving up some cash to pick up more Provia 400X- I feel like I've been chasing one discontinued emulsion after another (E100VS to Tmax P3200 to Neopan 400 to Provia 400x)
It's been discontinued in the US for some time. I stocked up on a couple year's worth, and paid nearly $20/roll for the last I bought. I don't know what it would cost to bring over some remaining stock from Japan but I'd imagine it won't be cheap.
Right now it's about $6.70/roll for 120 and $8.50/roll for 35mm. (US$)
I remember when prices like that used to scare me off, now I don't think anything of spending that or more...
Yup, no more Kodak 220 manufacturing...
...Do you have a source for the 220 info?...
I'll plead for mercy due to being unwell today. The only source is a (faulty?) recollection of other posts saying so. I'm usually more rigorous than that. Sorry.
Pleading granted

I see the word "Discontinued"...
Felling a little better now. The best I can come up with is this:...I don't put a lot of faith in any particular retailer's "Discontinued" references - even B & H's - because they aren't necessarily consistent with the manufacturer's.
I guess that each consolidation has the possible effect of strengthening that which remains .....
The pigeon?
Kodak Alaris has already provided you the answer. Read its letter as posted in the link I included with post #40....alaris is listing 220 portra as a a stock item, both 160 and 400. I'd like to get an accurate answer to it's availability over the next year or two
It's a cautionary tale about inexhaustible supplies and never-ending "consolidations"...
