Kodak changed Tri-X a bit over a year ago in a desire to concentrate the production of all b/w to one plant. Something like the previous production line required around the clock runs and Kodak was not able to sell enough b/w film to do that. So they combined into one plant. That plant is in the US, so it's not so strange if Australia isn't making any b/w. We've seen that one coming for a while. Whatever happens, happens. It won't be earth shaking. We'll just go with the flow. I'm going to have to learn to like color. Not because I'll be going over to color film, but it's obvious that digital is the future. Digital b/w doesn't do anything for me. The reason I never got into color was because I didn't have a color lab (and didn't like the darkroom _that_ much that I was willing to invest in one). Now that you don't need a darkroom, color becomes a viable option for me. I never did like leaving stuff over to someone else to do. You have to have a good line of communication for that to work.
