Kodak to produce 400TX in 220?

http://www.film220.com

Kodak are the only company to make B&W film in 220 - only 320TXP at the moment. Unlike other manufacturers, they may be responding to the petition to supply more 220 film by producing a limited amount of 400TX as well. Well done Kodak.

Best,
Helen

Hello,

I have learned this on a french forum here :

http://www.galerie-photo.info/forum/read.php?f=1&i=44226&t=44226

"Les efforts menés par Philippe Bachelier ont porté leurs fruits : Salgado vient de lui annoncer que Kodak allait reprendre la production de la TX 400 en format 220 !"

Salgado told Bachelier (who launched the http://www.film220.com/ site ) that Kodak announced they would resume TX400 production in 220 format.

Kodak Tri-x 200

Hi! I have ordered 5 boxes at my Kodak official supplier in Europe, Slovenija. As I was informed, film is available and should be in my hands in couple of days.

Looks like one of the other moderators merged these two just about 10 seconds before I could.

Well, another film in 220 is certainly good news!

This might be enough to get me to switch from Ilford back to Kodak. Now we just need to get Plus-X back into production in 220.

My Fuji MF Rangefinders will be happy - and so will my Fuji GA645Zi.

Anybody been able to find some? I've asked two local suppliers; one does not have the volume to be a Kodak dealer, the other gave a politically correct but no reason to be hopeful answer.

If I still had my C330 I would have been interested, however the thought of buying an A24 back which I might get very little use of and no economic advantage puts me into a "don't care" state.

I hope it happens. TX 400 is my favorite and I would definitely buy it in 220.

Now if we just could convince Kodak to make TX in sheet film again that would be something.

Are you sure that isn't TXP (tri-x iso320)? I don't think TX (tri-x iso400) has been made in 4x5 in a while.

How is that possible? It is listed as good ol TX400 Does Kodak make this in the UK and not in the US?

The price is out of reach with the $ against the Pound at the moment but thanks for posting this interesting discovery.

I have a pair of 220 backs for my Hassy and another 220 film would be welcome--especially another B&W film. I really like the 220 backs for convenience and usually use them for the more abundant 220 color films due to so few B&W 220 choices available and my faves usually being in 120 only (FP4, HP5, etc...).
