Tri-X Discontinued?

[tunalegs]

You can blame him for Kodachrome but not Tri-X, as I believe this is only a rumor. EPA outlawed the process to make the Kodachrome dyes and therefore killed it like the coal industry.

And to think Paul Simon probably voted for him. Oh well.😕

Not sure if being sarcastic...

But Kodachrome was discontinued quite simply because nobody was buying it. And it was discontinued in 2009, so if anybody's government had enough time to formulate a plan for killing it through bureaucratic meddling, it would've been Bush's.

Spend less time worrying about bull**** rumours on the web and more time shooting it if you like it so much. I personally think your post is very inflammatory and altogether unhelpful to anyone with an interest in imaging with film. Speculation and rumour-mongering does not really help anybody in any way.

Jeez, relax...

Sure twist the facts to serve your own agenda.

(I am being sarcastic) :angel:

You can actually blame Nixon for Kodachrome. That was the real reason he was forced out of office. 😀

JFK loved Kodachrome, as it showed off his orangey sun-tan very well .

I heard while I was travelling on the train earlier, so it must be true, that by 2018 no one will be using any cameras and we will only be taking images using our phones and all the photography companies will be assigned to the history books... oh the horror! #filmisdead #digitalisdead #longliveapple

@Mackinaw, Hmmm, I can see and accept sarcasm, but I'm not sure 'a troll is a troll' and 'op reported' are really just sarcasm.
.

No, I did report the OP.

The whole thread makes no other sense than spreading false rumors and should be deleted.

Sadly, that hasn't happened, yet.

 

[seany65]

Hmmm. If some people are upset that the OP didn't do any research on the interwebnet before starting this thread.

Should other people be a bit upset that those people who are upset didn't do any research on the interwbnet before posting messages that they were upset?

Or something?

Waus beat me to it.



There is also this for a smaller investment.

Appreciated thanks! That's a bit steep since the 100' rolls are only $60, perhaps I can find some by posting in a few B&S areas or checking the bay.

Not too steep if you end up not liking it.

 

[ChrisLivsey]

you must admit these troll-ish threads spark many more interesting comments than "What lens should I take on vacation?"
for that, I welcome them.
🙂

What about the bag threads? Show them some love!! (not)

Just spend the 9.50 to try a roll.

Do it.

Do it now.

Time=Money.

This thread is the most entertaining thing I've read on here in quite some time.

Bag threads? I want a UV protective filter thread!

 

[sreed2006]

What discontinued camera, discontinued lens, discontinued hood, and discontinued filters should I use to shoot discontinued film? And what discontinued scanner should I use?

Everything gets discontinued eventually - even us.

 

[farlymac]

Okay, so some young whippersnapper came on here to start a rumor, and boy did some of you take the bait. You could have just ignored the OP, and made him look the fool a lot easier.

Silly rabbits, Trix are for kids! Of course it's discontinued.

Oh whoops! Tri-x, not Trix. My bad.

The answer to your last question is easy.

 

[kknox]

Rumors like this are a great way to sell more film.

 

[froyd]

Are you talking about the same rumour I heard about Tri-X being discontinued?

I bet he is. I wonder if it's the same source though. I heard it from somebody else so now we have validation.

 

[pepeguitarra]

Tri-X is discontinued, I read it on RFF.

Me too. Here it is

Of course, it may have to do with the date it was originally posted.
