The man has a very good point. Artists sometimes do such things. Paul Caponigro was rumored to have put in a 20-year supply of DuPont Varilour when it was discontinued. And I have seen with my own eyes the basement of Ctein's house. The house was mortgaged so that Ctein could buy $30,000 worth of dye-transfer printing supplies. The Pan Matrix film is stored in top-loading freezers and the paper, standing on end in crates, fills most of the basement. A third of the price of a Leica lens will buy you a full-sized freezer, and that should hold at least several hundred 100-ft. rolls of APX 25. There is no need for anyone who loves this film (and I *do* sympathize, despite my sometimes reflexively smartass tone) to do without. I wonder if I'd do that with Tri-X if Kodak ever discontinued it...probably not. I'm not _that_ attached to it. Or...? - --Mike
