I think that Kodak outsourced production to a firm in China...

I seem to remember that when Kodak was shutting down their B&W film line
there was a news item to the effect that some company in China had
bought all of the production machinery.
Which just spawned another thought - someone appears to be still
manufacturing Kodak T-Max, but who is it?

Hi Mark,
Been doing that a lot lately too; I have something like 10 canisters
only so I don't load everything up and the rest sits inside the loader
on my bookshelf. I have an extra 100' in the freezer though.
Fuji just gave a press release that Neopan 400 is being phased out,
but here is a not so well known alternative film:

Its brought to you by the same guys who gave us Ilford. How & why its
cheaper is beyond me, but its quality almost the same as Ilford HP5+
(a bit grainier; I have yet to compare the Kentmere 100 with FP4). It
takes longer to process it with the same chemistry; so far we have
tried it with Ilford's ID-11 and homebrewed (pa)Rodinal.

I've been shooting a bit of 35mm B&W these days and finally broke
down and
bought a daylight loader for bulk rolls and some reloadable
canisters. I'm
sure someone here has done or does do the bulk film loading thing...
Question that I'm wondering about - is there any problem with just
putting
the 100 foot roll into the loader and then filling canisters as
needed, or
is there a reason why you should load up the whole bulk roll in one
session?
Although I do shoot a fair amount of film it would take a month or
two to
use up the approximately 20 rolls I'd get out of a 100 foot roll..
Is it OK
to just load up a few canisters as needed, which means the bulk roll
would
be stored in the loader, or should I load it all up at once?
TIA -
Mark
