Another "is said to discontinue" thread... Though many came true...

Kodak quit making E-6 film a couple years ago, so it should be no surprise if they quit making the processing chemicals. Given that Fuji is the only manufacturer of E-6 film in the world now, I would think it would be better to use Fuji chemicals since you're using Fuji film.

Kodak's actual chemistry has been made by Champion for several years already, correct? *If* true, the announcement needn't mean anything about Champion's production for other customers like Arista. (I don't know if they actually make the Arista E-6 kits, but the point is, "not sold through Kodak any more" is not the same as "not made any more by the original source".)

You are right about the availability of E-6 chemicals.

There are still few sources doing it and as far as I am concerned, one of these sources is still supplying me wit these kits.
