My thought is that the film is selling much more quickly than Kodak
anticipated.  I do know that they are busy filling the supply chain with
a new Ultra consumer film.  Perhaps their coating plants are busy right
now.

You might try Fuji Neopan 400 as an alternative. :)

Well, here's the scoop on the grey film from the photo.net site:

Looks like gray (imported) TX went to the great darkroom in the sky.
Maybe it has to
do with Kodak consolidating the manufacture of BW stocks in the new
factory
they set up last year or the discount stuff was simply cutting too deep
in to
Kodak's profits

That may leave us with USAW (USAW - Film manufactured in the USA for
Worldwide distribution.)
but it is back ordered.

About a week ago I picked up 100 rolls of gray TX from Adorama. Guess
that may
have been from the last batch they had in stock, because they are out
except for
24 exp. rolls.

Right now the best deal is for 36 exp TX is the double pack, which comes
to $3.24 per roll.



Rats.
