Kodak retires Tri-X 320 medium-format films
Kodak has announced that it was stopping production of its popular medium-format Kodak Professional Tri-X 320 films. The US-based firm blamed the decision on decreasing sales numbers
Launched more than 50 years ago, the Kodak Professional Tri-X 320 films were popular with photojournalists and documentary photographers. The 320 films were available in 120 and 220 pro-pack of five rolls.
'Based on current sales, product is expected to be available in the market through March 2010,' says Kodak in a statement. It adds that the Kodak Professional Tri-X 400 films will continue to be available.
Up until today, Kodak continued to market the Tri-X 320 film as 'world's best selling black-and-white film.' It said: 'This classic black-and-white film allows for maximum pushability when he needs it, while its wide exposure latitude lets him leverage even the most challenging lighting situations. And the distinctive grain structure adds a level of realism as dramatic and profound as each subject.'
The Tri-X 320 films will also continue to be available in sheet format. For more details on availability, visit Kodak's website here.
