However, I think the packaging for Europe is different. And isn't some Kodak film, including Tri-X, made in England? Does anyone know where this fits into the picture? I do believe that unless you are buying from a source with very slow turnover, all the old film should be out of the pipeline by now. You can immediately tell the difference when you are loading reels as the backing feels thinner and more flexible.
