There was an announcement today that EK (in their infinite wisdom) has
elected to discontinue ALL BW Paper, RC and fiber base and the
chromogenic BW papers . The last coatings were made in Brazil and no more
paper will be made. There is enough inventory for "several" months
supply. Then there will be no more.
Sad day. No word on when BW film will be discontinued. Since they gave
very little notice on paper it is difficult to predict the film
situation. I certainly will no longer tell anyone that they will be able
to buy Kodak BW Film in the future.
