I know they stopped making it but does anyone know where I can get some? Checked all the major places.

Sad to say that I can't find anymore in New York. B&H had it listed in the catalog that they recently sent me, but I was disappointed when I enquired.

I bought the last 50 rolls at Adorama, when someone posted that B&H was out of stock upon the first announcement that TXP was going to be discontinued BTW. Now I only have about 35 rolls left, and I am now shooting a lot of 120.

I bought 50 rolls not too long ago from B&H.

Hunts Photo & Video was selling it, I bought a bunch of it from them on Ebay.
Don't know if they have any left at this point. That was last month.

How long ago was that? I'd like to load up a truck if I could.

Six to eight weeks ago, as I remember.

Six to eight weeks ago, as I remember.

Every time I go in I ask and I get the same response: "Its discontinued." The same at Adorama.

You were lucky. I'm heading over at B&H within the hour BTW for a return. Then I'm heading to Adorama to look at a camera.

Thanks.

They are in the UK. All I can say, is that it is listed.

Have been trying to find some in Europe but no luck. Have given up on the prospect of ever seeing a roll of TXP220 again.
Now what about lobbying Kodak or Fuji to make Tri-X 400 or Neopan 400, respectively, in 220 format? Shouldn't require too much of an investment on their part, and I'm sure they'd find a market.

There has to be some out there.

The machinery for making up the 220 film is different to 120 (that is the reason there is no 220 from Ilford) but both Kodak and Fuji have (or had recently) 220 rolls of some filmstock or other. I suppose the cost of the end-papers and packaging becomes very expensive over a small made-to-order production run . . .

Here's ten rolls on Ebay:

There are ten more rolls from the same seller in a different auction. So that makes twenty rolls.
