Kodak discontinuing films

What speed are you burning it at? I burn my B/W IR film through a deep red #29 filter.

R72 filter @ ISO 8.

HIE by far, was the best B/W IR film out there. What comes close to it? I'm really going to miss it.

Nice shots! I usually find HIE too grainy. How did you develop?

Apart from Kodachrome, Just about every other slide film uses the standard E6 process which is the equivalent to C41 for print film.

Forgive my ignorance on slide developing, but does this have any impact on being able to get the slide film developed? Are the chemicals the same for other slide film? This is indeed bad news for those of us who still love to shoot slides. I've long predicted that slide film would be the first to go. Glad there's still other slide films out there, but still, it does make you nervous.

It is hard to keep using Kodak products. Here in Brazil, I received news from 3 different shops in 3 different states that Kodak will not sell Tri-X in bulk rolls anymore. At first, it was hard to believe that, but reading the recent statement from Kodak is convincing me otherwise.

I also like Tri-X, but I could live with XP2 or try one of the other Ilford B&W films.

Yeah it is sad, but they have to do what they have to do! Someone in Japan at Kodak has a lot of pull to have these films still available for the 2007. Makes you wonder.
