   Not too long ago they updated all of the Portra film and sent me a bunch of 35mm samples.

   Apparently nobody cared.

   I just noticed that the LISTINGS are being discontinued, not the film families.

   Wowwwwww, harsh.
   I guess I can see how they’d want to dump the pro 35mm film, but man, how long till the 120 gets the ax???

   Ross is right. It’s just the 35mm *single* rolls of Portra. And hey, for you big spenders, those 220 rolls in the 20-pack Pro Pack are gone, too.

   Kodak South Africa just suck. they refuse to take any orders less than 1000 dollars and don’t even acknowledge the order when you do.

   It makes me laugh though, they spent how much advertising how many pro’s still use film, especially the portra range and then do this

   Not surprising really. I’d think that the photographers they are marketing the new Portra too would buy it in packs rather than single rolls anyway. If removing packaging options means the film stays around longer, then I’m ok with the changes. Still disappointing though.

   Portra and Plus-X…. why is it that the films I use the most go first?…

   Does this mean that when I go to Adorama and order twenty or thirty rolls of 35Portra VC, I won’t be able to? I own & use numerous film cameras, is it time to go digital? I love my film gear.

    Guys, just read the thing carefully: Portra is not gone, it’s just that certain packagings will not be used anymore.

    If you’ve ever been to a pro store, you will notice that they sell 120 or 135 film by the unit directly out of the propacks. You can still buy single rolls, but they won’t come in that useless cardboard box.
