The next Kodak film to die? Place bets now!

[DREW WILEY]

I think we should start a new thread : The next pessimist who should just shut up, start buying and
using film and darkroom paper, and contribute to its popularity and future viability, rather than undermining it and discouraging another generation of potential customers. Who should we vote for first?

WHo knows. Perhaps wet plate photography is in my future.

... or watercolor painting.

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!

Please Sir, never ever use Neopan Acros film. Thank you.

I used Neopan Acros exclusively on travels this year!!! Oh dear...

they would make a BOATLOAD of instant cash if they sold master rolls of film to someplace like photowarehouse
who has years and years of experience cutting and notching and repackaging film for specialty sheet film shooters.
they did this for years with "made in england" film ( olde ilford ) and there are enough people who shoot everything
from 2.5x.5 - 20x24 ( and larger ) and everything inbetween ... they could sell a master roll in a matter of months.
whenever there is a special order of film, people come out of the woodwork and buy a freezer full of it, or a handful of boxes.

i find it crazy that they don't do something like that, seeing people who shoot those sizes yearn for film to shoot
and often times wait and wait and wait for the special orders to come around ....

I'm a huge fan of Tri-X 400 and would love to see it in sheets, so I totally support this. 320 just isn't quite the same.

Next Kodak film I vote will cease production is all of them at once... (Please note, I don't want this a all, just my prediction).

Grim thread.

Care to comment to me which of the Fuji films will die next? Try me! :devil:
The post is nonsensical and hurtful. The much better thing you can do is to continue using and enjoying film and the images created from it — while you still have it, irrespective of who is making it and what.

Velvia 50 - the slowest colour film available - if it's not already gone. This thread is a little harmless fun; lighten up dudes - it's only the internets, innit...
