   Ektapan was discontinued only a couple of years ago. It 
was an ISO-100 version of Plus-X Pan sheet film with the 
same very long toe characteristic but with the speed 
adjusted to match ISO-100 color film so that the two could 
be used interchangibly on the same set up. I am not sure if 
Kodak still has a data sheet for it on-line but I am pretty 
sure I have one someplace.
