Additionally, both B&H and Adorama said that it was no longer being produced. And, when my lab tried to order some for me from Kodak, the order was turned down. It's moot for me now because I've bought all that outdated film for about $60 per box and I'm certain that Hunts would want the full $250 +/- price for the box of Provia... that's $25.00 per sheet. I'm guessing that might be one of the reasons that my outdated supply exposes and processes so well, because for those prices, people took care of it and kept it frozen. - -- Jim - http://www.hemenway.com > Hi Jim, > > I saw a box of 11x14 Fuji Provia at Hunt's a couple of weeks > ago with my own eyes.
