Kodak are about to discontinue manufacture of yet another version of their B/W Infrared

film- namely 2424 in 70mm format.

If anybody is interested in placing a last order please contact me before August 20th.

Kodak have introduced a policy of 18 roll minimum order for 2424 70mm

infrared film.Hence it is now not listed in many suppliers catologues.

Does anyone want to split an order?

Like other users, I bought a bulk of 5x4" HSIR when Kodak discontinued production. I have recently exhausted my stock and have been intouch with Kodak to see if they would manufacture a short batch. Initially it lookeds as if a run of 10,000 sheets would be possible - sadly that was a local response and the truth is that they would be reluctant to manufacture even 50,000 sheets. A great shame as it can be seen by the responses to this question that there would be sufficient take up for a batch.

Anyone interested in forming a pressure group please contact me at colin@solidair.org.uk

Kodak have no current plans to discontinue 70mm Aerographic infrared (same emulsion as 35mm) and I am currently converting 6x7 70mm backs to 7x12cm as an alternative way of shooting this film.

Well....I have tried Kodak re manufacturing 5x4 HSIR as a special run.

Initially it seemed thay may have been interested in a batch of 10,000

sheets but as it transpires, they would have only considered a minimum

of 50,000 sheets - if at all!This is a great shame considering the

number of replies to the original question and the obvious interest in

this fantastic film. Although there are alternatives on the market

(Maco from Germany) they do not have the response that HSIR could

deliver.In addition, I have just spoken to Kodak in the UK who say

that 70mm will also be discontinued.The digital fut

Anybody know of such an animal to deliver 6x12 negs on 5x4 from 70mm

perforated film?

International copyright law is quite clear. A solicitors letter with an offer ( your own discretion for a fee) followed by a court action for a fee plus punitive damages for infringement of copyright would be normal practice.

Good luck.

I believe Kodak will manufacture batches of any film should there be

sufficient uptake and I would like to find photographers prepared to

share the order for 5x4" HSIR. My last 40 boxes are now a hole in the

freezer. WWW.SOLIDAIR.ORG.UK<div></div>
