Does anyone know when Eastman Kodak stopped producing cellulose triacetate, in-house?

It was in 2013 that Kodak stopped making cellulose triacetate.

I think the main makers today, at least for the cellulose triacetate that is used for film base, are Daicel in Japan and Island Polymer Industries in Germany.

Daicel has been Fuji's supplier since the beginning. In fact, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. was originally spun off from Daicel in 1934.

Island Polymer Industries is the successor to the old AGFA and ORWO.

Has anyone done bleach bypass processing with the new Vision3 films? Any experiences to share?

Nope, but this is what Kodak says: "The new Anti-Halation layer is a technically advanced formulation containing proprietary components and SILVER. This will result in significantly higher densities in a skip-bleach process."

Thanks so much!
