Hi yall, just a few questions for folks who may be smarter than me on this,

The internet has been a bit abuzz with Eastman Kodak taking over distribution of another two film sets from Kodak Alaris (good idea in concept, why is it price $1 higher at B&H? bad idea in practice?). Regardless of price increases, those happen all the time, I'm worried about large format film from Kodak. Looking at their product website

Still Film

A leading global manufacturer focused on commercial print and advanced materials & chemicals. We believe in the power of technology and science to enhance…

www.kodak.com

it's clear that they seem to only be offering all their products in 135 and 120 (320txp isn't listed too!, further concerns). I'm wondering if anyone has any insights about this, and whether or not the end of color large format film is upon us? Is Kodak Alaris going to continue to distribute large format film? Has Eastman Kodak decided to make me worried for "the bit"? At the end of the day, the loss of 4x5 ektachrome would be sad to me, but I could live with the loss of tmax in 4x5, I quite enjoy delta as well.

Anyways, just a worry. maybe it's nothing.
