Kodak has announced the discontinuance of Kodak Professional Tri-X 320 for medium format. The American company cites “significantly decreased sales volumes” as the main reason for taking this decision. Based on current sales, these products are expected to be available in the market through March 2010. Importantly, Kodak Professional Tri-X 320 film remains available in sheet format (4x5”, 5x7” and 8x10”). Kodak Professional Tri-X 400 film is not affected by the decision in any way.

It seems like we have a different Film/Photography world up here in Toronto. B&W is still very popular. Colour Materials are far from producing real B&W Fine Prints. Anyway no one mentioned Ilford. I use their FP4 a lot and find it pretty well stacks up to the T-max 100 which I also like when I'm in the mood. Paper and film for B&W images are very much appreciated around these parts and I expect that will be so for along time to come. When I have to shoot colour prints I find GPX an excellent product.

I am not a user of this particular film, but being a huge fan of B&W medium format films, I am bummed to see it go. Just don't take my Kodak Professional Plus-X 125 120mm film away!
