Not really a big surprise. This way there is only one emulsion for them to have to support as Tri-X - in someways, I'm more surprised that it lasted this long as a separate product.

I'd be curious to know just how long ago the last run of 320 was as opposed to 400 (which still sells well IIUC).

That is the very last black and white film in 220 left in the world! No more black and white 220- ever!

Predicting the demise of 220 black and white film, Larry and Martolod invested their life savings in TXP-220 film and row after row of refrigerators.

I knew them when!

Haha! Dagnabbit!

I rarely shoot Tri-X these days as I prefer Neopan 400. But, I prefer Acros 100 to Neopan so I rarely shoot Neopan 400 either.

I would so love to shoot some 8x10 Tri-X, but 8x10 camera, I no gotz!
