More bad news on the film front

Tue Nov 3, 2009, 8:58 AM
It looks like Kodak is just about ready to shed itself of the pro film business. I read on the Large Format forum that Kodak has discontinued its traditional RA-4 Supra Endura line of paper. Therefore if you print color the tradtional way in the darkroom, you are screwed as a Kodak customer. Fortunately Fuji still has the paper available, and at a better price than the reamining Kodak stock. I have to imagine the pro color negative film in 4x5 and other large format sizes can't be far behind in being discontinued. I really do like Kodak Portra 160VC as it's the most vibrant color neg film out there. If that goes, then I suppose I'll just be shooting chromes with the 4x5 camera for now on. That'll suck because I do like making big prints to the size of 16x20. My Epson printer only goes to 13x19. The art of the wet process is continuing to go into the history books. Whether we like it or not. :(

Always open to working w/ adventurous subjects (particularly if you're in Northern NY) who are brave enough to be in front of my camera. Interested? :devart: note me at your leisure & maybe we can figure something out.
