Tech Pan to be discontinued (was Re: cold temperature reciprocity)

I have a lifetime supply of 35mm but not sheet film. TMX can be called a replacement, but the tonality in the red area is rather different. This is not as much a blow to me as Kodak discontinuing Infrared sheet film, but we can get used to these films going away. All the more reason to get moving more seriously with digital negatives.

Cheers -

george
