Kodak Cine Films and discontinuation

To everyone getting in a twist over 5222, go back and read the original statement - it hasn't gone, the stock 1000ft length and the stock 16mm lengths will be apparently going - the 400ft 5222 will remain. 7222 was hideously grainy - today almost all S16 BW is Vision3 converted in post. The rest of the withdrawals are things I thought should have gone long ago - who really uses 100ft rolls in 16mm - as in more than 1 or 2 rolls a year? Given that Kodak operates a JIT system anyway, I imagine a suitable MOQ would get you the stuff finished to whatever sprocket holes and width you wanted. I bet that the Tri-X reversal stuff is simply remnant stock that's been slowly getting cut and sold off - like the BW400CN. Anyway, don't forget that until Fuji got heavily into the cinematography world in the 1980s there was one colour neg cinema stock from Kodak and that was it.
