Tri-X availability?

<p>Does anyone know for sure whether Tri-X 35mm and 120 film (TX ISO 400, not TXP 320 ISO) is or is not discontinued in the US or in particular the UK? I'm trying to decide whether I need to buy and freeze a lifetime's supply or not!</p>

<p>Thanks to all for responses. No, I have not heard any concrete suggestions that TX will be discontinued, I am just feeling a bit paranoid considering that Tri-X Professional (TXP) has I believe been discontinued and that the discontinuation of Ektachrome 200 caught me out and forced me to sell my RB67 outfit and Fuji GW690III and switch to a Canon 5D MkII. I want to do a large retirement project with 35 mm Tri-X and don’t want anything to get in the way!</p>

<p>AG Photographic in Birmingham or 7dayshop sell Tri-X in 10-film bricks. I've started stocking up, not because I think it'll stop production but simply that the price will rise. I'm better off investing in film than putting my money in a savings account! I wish I had stocked up on Velvia 35mm some years ago as I now only have a couple of reels left and the new price is too high for me.</p>

<p>First the Arista Premium version goes, then the Kodak? Isn't that the way Plus-X disappeared? Freestyle has the short-dated 100' Tri-X on sale, but also has some with a more generous date. I have a couple of rolls of the Arista Premium 400 in cold storage, but maybe it's time to get another roll or two.</p>
