Is Kodak Portra NC160 4x5 film Discontinued????

[art_major]

<p>hello all,</p>

<p>I have been running short on some Kodak Portra NC160 4x5 film last month and B&H and Adorama was out of stock. I just checked again and how its listed as discontinued. whats going on? is the film really gone? thanks.</p>

<p>It's being replaced by <a href="http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/products/films/portra/160main.jhtml?pq-path=2986">Portra 160</a>. (New generation of film, no NC/VC distinction.)<br>

Those who did not want to change hoarded the 160NC.<br>

Of course, in the meantime 160 isn't in the stores, and 160NC is out of stock.</p>

<p>thanks for the info. when does the new Portra 160 come out for 4x5?</p>

[daniel_mitschke]

<p>should already be out.<br>

at least I just bought some in 120 fomat.</p>

<p>I see VC and NC for sale all over the internet. The New stuff shows sold out at every store.</p>

<p>Looking at the specs, the new film looks to be essentially the NC with a bit better grain, VC users, like me are SOL.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/products/films/portra/400main.jhtml?pq-path=2987">Kodak</a> is showing it available in <a href="http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/e4050/e4050.pdf">tech pub E-4050</a>,<br>

It is interesting that in the beginning of the pub, it shows just "10 box sheets" and then later on it shows 4x5 sheets. <br>

It does look as though the 8x10 and 5x7 sheets are gone for good.</p>
