I really miss Neopan 400.

This film is still made, isn't it?

 

[Micky]

i have been shooting it, and still plan to unless it has been recently discontinued and I've been living off store inventory.

 

[IloveTLRs]

APX 100 ... that's still around. I bought a two rolls over the winter vacation.

Has the formula changed? Is what's available now not the same thing?

 

[benjiboy]

Agfa Portrait 160 Pro.

 

[David Brown]

I don't miss anything. There's too many other choices.

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

Nice picture. Up by the cloisters?

From my old apartment twenty floors above 125th St. & Riverside Dr.

 

[Darkroom317]

Kodachrome (Being able to freely use it knowing that you can go buy it at Freestyle)

Exactly. I've got several rolls of Kodachrome as well as some Tech Pan and HIE. I have a lot of trouble deciding when to use them.

 

[Larry Bullis]

Kodak's great aerial infrared bw film that came in 70mm long rolls. Still have a bit of it.
2475 Recording film; it was a lot like HIE and the above, except not extended so far beyond the usual red.
Ansco Versapan
Verichrome pan
Super XX
Tri X ortho

There are new films that may be as good or better than many of these, but the first two listed are enormous losses and I'm sure neither will ever be replaced under anyone's label.

I might think of a few others, but these are the main ones.

Everything changes. It's the only thing we can count on for sure.

This film is still made, isn't it?

It is to be discontinued in 120 format, which is what I used it in. RIP.

4x5 Plus-X. A really nice emulsion that I miss.

 

[Sirius Glass]

Verichrome Pan 120 620
Panatomic X 135 120

 

[phaedrus]

Kodak HIE, too

 

[Drifter]

Agfa Ultra

 

[removed-user-1]

Kodak HIE, too

Very nice shot.

Indeed, very nice. I always wanted to work with Polaroid 8x10... ah well.

TXP320 (thinking ahead in light of the recent discontinuation of this film)

 

[bumbersdad]

Panatomic X

 

[Renato Tonelli]

The list gets longer as the years roll on:

Polaroid
HIE (although I have a huge stash)
Kodachrome 25 and 64
Panatomic-X
Agfa APX100 in sheets
QuickLoads
Kodak Copy film
Kodak Medalist paper
Kodak AZO paper
Agfa Brovira and all of the old AGFA papers

Still, I'm thankful that there are still a lot of great products available and there are companies like Ilford and Adox that seem committed to their product lines.

Panatomic-X, Kodachrome 120, Verichrome Pan

 

[Robert Hall]

4x5 Plus-X. A really nice emulsion that I miss.

I just bought 20 film holders that have 2 sheets of Plus X in each at 8x10.

What a score!

 

[Robert Hall]

I really miss inexpensive film.

And...

8x10 HIE,
Plus X,
Just about any other "fast" Infrared.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

HIE in 4x5, Type 55, Type 809, and Fomapan in 11x14. I'm shortly going to have to add another emulsion to my arsenal when I get some 12x15 holders made for my Watson. I just hope Efke doesn't go tits up about the time I get the camera up and running and I can only get one or two boxes of 12x20 to learn the film with.

 

[pgomena]

Kodak infrared, Agfa and Scotch 1000, all the fun, odd films that were great to play with. The fast, grainy color stuff that explodes into pastels when you diffuse in-camera and push it. I had only discovered APX 100 a bit before it was discontinued, so I can't really say I miss it, but it was amazing film. What remains I can use with no complaints. There's still a lot to choose from. No sense shedding tears when there's still excellent film out there.
