RE: [Digital BW] New Tri-X: anyone seen?

Never mind that Tri-X's characteristic curve shape was one reason it has
remained so popular.

The beginning of the end of traditional films has begun. Even though I'm
mostly a B&W guy now, when Kodachrome 25 production was ended I felt very
sad.  For years that was my favorite film. 

As I understand it Kodak is consolidating all its B&W film production, which
probably means that, although the labels may stay the same, the differences
among the various films will start to decrease as the technologies and
production methods consolidate.
