LegacyPro, Eco-Pro - Who are they?

Back when FS was selling Arista Premium 35mm film I had a long time CS agent confirm it's PX and TX. I still wonder why the PX wasn't rated 125.

MY guess is that it was Plus-X Reversal slit instead to 35mm. might even have been Plus-x 5231, which is rated at 80 for movies, but would have come to about 100 if developed for stills, as Still photographers develop for Higher Gamma. Kodak would have either slit it to 35mm, or taken pancakes that were being held for the MP department and sent them to the still finishing department.

if you are Kodak you can slit anything you have in teh warehouse to whatever format you want, BUT it has to make sense to a management committee, and no doubt be prepaid.

just my wild guesses and speculation. I actually have used short ends of 5231 in the past. too bad it no longer exists.

My thinking is on the lines of throwing out a "red herring." To lead one astray. Really, a third of a stop would not be noticed in 95% of shooting situations.

Which would make sense if they had rated the TX variant at 320

I hear ya, but there's no making sense of marketing decisions.
