From http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/p255/p255.jhtml?id=0.1.18.14.21.22.16&lc=en —Notice— Discontinuance of KODAK PROFESSIONAL Technical Pan Film KODAK PROFESSIONAL Technical Pan Film is being discontinued due to steadily declining demand over the recent years. Changes in product components and our manufacturing processes make it impractical to continue to support this product at its current low levels. The last Tech Pan coating was several years ago. Since that time, the old coating room has been shut down, the gels used in the product formulation have become obsolete, and we no longer manufacture the ESTAR support on which the 35 mm product was coated. There would be considerable cost to recreate the product, with no guarantee that it would look and act the same as the Tech Pan Film of old. Technical Pan Film will continue to be available until the existing inventory has been depleted. While there is no direct replacement for Tech Pan Film, you may find KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 100 Film in combination with specific B&W Developers to be a viable alternative for some applications. So better stock up if you use it. Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
