Hi Alan,

Well for the short term perhaps .... But per Kodak the Supra 100 is
discontinued so what does that mean for the Supra 400 ? Besides :^( from
what I hear the Supra is the same emulsion as the RG. Just the
professional version. So, if the RG400 was changed my guess is that the
Supra 400 was as well.

The real laugher is that per Kodak, the replacement for RG100 is Supra
100. And the replacement for Supra 100 is RG100. Both discontinued.....
Sounds like they don't quite have their act together.


Regards

Bill
