1. Kodak folks read this site *daily* and are presenting these findings to the potential buyers of Kodak Film Marketing and Distribution.
One of the reasons they find themselves in their current predicament is they have failed big time to anticipate their consumers requirements and wishes, maybe they will start.So what? Don't you think they are smart enough to discern between idle speculation between a bunch of internet forum folks and a recommendation on how they should conduct their business?

I doubt Kodak would put a lot of weight on the poll results, given that this forum has an unusual number of darkroom workers in it, and BW400CN is clearly not optimized for them.
I would expect to see the numbers for T-MAX 100 begin to improve a bit with the supplies of Plus-X drying up.
I actually like TMX a bit more than delta and fp4+ and acros. I like TMY more than delta 400 as well.
TMX in 120 is quite amazing with such a clear base.
My guess is that the next film to be discontinued will be the film that next needs a master roll to be coated. If you read the latest news on Kodak, they're running short on cash, and with the long payback period on a master roll, they might find it more economically feasible to discontinue the stock rather than keep it going.
I voted for TXP320 - because I love it and use it all the time... and historically, my personal patronage of any film seems to be its undoing (APX100, Plus-X, etc)... :-(
Marc!
But that's not the plan.
The people who have expressed displeasure with this poll should take big breaths and remove those uncomfortable sticks from their ..... It's perfectly normal to speculate on what's next for an iconic company that facing total collapse.
The only good thing about this post is that I got to show my wife that I'm not the only person on the planet that listens to Jim Carroll.
I was under the impression that no film is hugely popular in Australia!(or in most other places unfortunately)
Seriously, I suspect the reason is that most people voting in the poll are processing and printing their own work, frequently in formats larger than 135, and so the BW400CN is not much used or appreciated here.
Aren't there stickers you can stick over film cartridges to fool the DX code reader?
