Well spoken. As a B+W purist, I rarely find a reason to check this column. Aside from Ilford, I haven't had much hope in seeing new products in our field. I check the B+W forum two to four times daily. I check this forum once a month. Maybe.Terence said:To be honest, I only just came across this post. I typically don't look in this forum. I have to imagine a LOT of APUGgers would be interested.

PE, I believe your thread has fallen victim to a lightly attended forum. Your news is very important. While I despise Kodak for their decisions and execution, I know this film would sell if made available.
PE, this is not a slight to you, but I will bet Kodak has an ulterior motive. My conspiracy theory says they were approached by, let's see, a US GOVERNMENT AGENCY to produce a new surveillance film. They smelled a profit or offset by dumping on the pro photo community. We get all hot and bothered, show great desire, EK produces a few different formats. Loyal customers are hooked. The government uses the initial order, then replaces the film with digital technology. Kodak announces a complete cancellation of all customer deliveries two days before the stock runs out.
I will never buy another Kodak product. Alright, if they somehow resurrected TP, I would buy it all. Hypocrisy, thy name is Chris.

Photo Engineer said:This appeared in the official proceedings of the ICIS organization and the reference to their journal is on www.photo.net. I did not repeat that reference on APUG. Carrying this information is up to the press. How inteterested do you think they are in analog news?
I cannot find a reference to the Fuji film either, but Dr. Tani said it was new and not for sale yet. So, what do you expect? Maybe it will never go on sale. Who knows.

is a short introduction to thermal development. I remember those pink paper copiers from 3M mentioned there, my Dad had one in his office a long time ago. What I found interesting is that from the many medical and military uses noted in the article it is clear that self-contained units for "development" do exist, so developing one for this new film shouldn't be too difficult.

Bummer!
