Re: T400CN Discontinued?? I don't think so...
Anyone have any definative words on this being discontinued? I just checked with my Kodak rep, and he confirmed that T400CN has been discontinued. Apparently BW+ (amateur, 24 exp.) and Portra 400BW (pro, 36 exp.) are very, very similar emulsions; T400CN was different from both of them. chris OK, now this is really wierd, the local rep at the shop I frequent called Kodak to ask them this question, and they denied it - they say that the T400CN is still in full production with the BW Select being the consumer film and the Portra BW being the professional film that are designed to print on color paper, and the T400CN being their C-41 film that is designed for printing on BW Paper. Wierd. Brian *still contemplating that 200-roll order... - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

Re: T400CN Discontinued?? I don't think so...
I always found T400CN awful on colour paper - the contrast was ummm wrong - can't explain how. But when reprinted on standard Ilford MG paper it was just great. Initially I used to get the film developed at a minilab and used the prints as proofs, but I found that shots I had dismissed as useless were actually worth enlarging, so the prints weren't even any good as proofs. Now I just go for develop only when using a C41 monochrome film and print an 8x10 proof sheet at home. Paul Ewins Melbourne, Australia - Original Message - From: William Robb [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hmmm, Agfa Ultra and Agfa Portrait 160 are the same concept. But really, can one replace the other? T400CN was optimised for printing on BW paper, and printed well on colour paper. Select and Portra are optimised for printing on colour and RA type chromogenic papers. They do not print well on conventional black and white materials. At least, this has been my experience with them. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

They've replaced the 25s and 100s with 50s. Of course, they made them quite scarce for September (the back-to-photography-school, big sellin' Tri-X 4x5 month) by cutting them out of the lineup in July and not releasing the 50s until October. My bet says Kodak will use their low sales in September as a reason to discontinue the film in sheets alltogether next year. Sneaky. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
