Emofin off the market?

[kossi008]

I got the hint in a German photo magazine, and checked yesterday:

It is not on the Tetenal homepage anymore, and I can't find it on the sites of my two favorite German photo supply specialists anymore.

Does anybody here know what's happened? How can they do this to me? And are there still stocks anywhere?

Emofin was discontinued almost two years ago.

Well, I was not aware of that. Bought some just last year, never knew

@ mods:
Sorry, I put this in the wrong sub-forum. Could you move it one step down to "Film / Developing / Chemistry please? Thanks.

Discontinued for safety and environmental reasons. One of its main agents was DMPD (CD-1), which has been banned in all colour processes, as it is significantly toxic. There still is a fair amount around, it has only been gone for little more than two years.

Thanks for the info. Just managed to stock up on it for a couple years... this gives me more time to investigate a replacement...
