I believe a 20 sheet box sells for $60. I've never tried it since the cost is so high. I've been using Polaroid Type 55 for B&W for the couple times a year I pull out my field camera. It is a very nice film, but the slow speed (ASA 32 for negative) can be a bit challenging for some types of field photography. I had nothing but trouble with the Kodak Readyloads in the past, so hopefully the new design will work as well as the Fuji Quickloads. A 4x5 chrome can look mighty impressive next to a 35mm slide. I recently bought some regular 4x5 holders and I plan on getting a nicer darkbag so that I can use Tri-x/FP4+/HP5+/Bergger. So what is the story on Agfapan 25 being discontinued? This rumour seems to keep popping up, yet the Agfa site doesn't mention anything. I know they discontinued 4x5 prodution a while back, but are they going to eliminate 35 and 120 as well? I haven't used it much, but under the right conditions you can get wonderful results. Maybe I should buy some and stick it in the film fridge. Tom Finnegan Seattle
