RIP Plus-X

I was really disappointed to hear this.

I went to B&H yesterday, found 5 rolls of Plus X on the shelf and went to buy them, only to have them tell me they couldn't sell it to me.

Really? They were right there, in fact I pointed it out to the employee that they were there.

Oh well, I'll keep looking.

Were they holding them for someone else?

I ordered a few rolls the other day from B&H with no problem. Maybe those were promised to someone else and their stock is fast disappearing.

Surely Kodak will find sales of Plux-x rising now as everybody is stocking up. ;)

Hi Frank - I'm sure you're right. But Kodak won't be bringing it back.

 

Users of all other films take note! Don't wait until your favorite film is discontinued before you order it. Go out today and shoot some - use it or lose it.

I remember stocking up on Velvia 50 when Fuji announced they were going to withdraw that. 6 months later, it was back.

 

I doubt whether Kodak are even in a position to bring back Plus-X, but a constant steady demand for film has to be better than users running out and buying 500 rolls at a time at any sniff of trouble.

 

My money will be on Tri-X being the last Kodak film standing. My guess is 5 years, if Kodak are still here.
