[Leica] Film availability

[Jeffery Smith]

I attempted to try out a variety of Adox lower ISO films. I was able to get several CMS films and HR-50, but not Silvermax. The next time I looked at BHPhoto and Freestyle, all three of them have been discontinued (at least in the United States). I'm still feeling the effects of Kodak discontinuing Panatomic-X, Plus-X, and Verichrome Pan. I hate getting smitten with a film and developer only to find the film is extinct. I had best stick to the most often used films (as evidenced by their mention when images are posted). I feel safe with Tri-X and HP5+, and hope that FP4+, Acros, Delta 100, and TMax100 are relatively safe, though I'm not absolutely positive about TMax100.
