Portra 160 in 120 size decent price at B&H as of 01/08/2023 (January 8, 2023)

For USA buyers:

B&H is selling 5-packs of 120 size Kodak Portra 160 for $48.95. This is as of Jan. 8, 2023. Not cheap but OK in this day and age.

I only recently learned to appreciate Portra 160 in 35mm size, so it is time to try the 120 size:

Got all excited until I saw the date of the original post. It's $59.95 as of August 2023. The "bargain" now is Kodak Gold 200 at $44.95 for a 5-pack in 120.

I think it actually is as of January 8, 2023, not August 1, 2023. If only there was a universal standard for dates! (I prefer yyyy/mm/dd).

yyyy/mm/dd is the only sensible format so we know it will never catch on

Just noticed that the thread was in the wrong sub-forum, so I moved it, and tweaked the thread title while I was at it.

I use dd month year, except for sorting and storing negatives and then I use yyyy <<roll number starting at 1 each year>>

I write the month first. August 14, 2023

The most common pattern in North America. Europeans commonly do dd month year.

That works too as long as you use the alphabet to define the month 14 August 2023.

I'm pretty sure that we are at least 6 months past the right date - however you wish to show it - to lock this thread!

Not a problem with numeric months, because it is a de-facto standard. Besides then the day number gets larger than 12, the format becomes obvious.
