B&W 120 Films Still Made Summer 2018

When looking in to putting in a film order, I was really bummed out to find that my favorite film appears to be discontinued. Fuji Acros won over the crown as my favorite film after the demise of ORWO NP20 a couple of decades ago. Acros had a wonderful tonal scale, fine grain, and one other feature that there still is no competition for. It had almost no reciprocity failure. There was no recommended exposure adjustment until a full two minutes!!! Well, what is out there now? Here's a list of what appears to still be being made: Ilford : Pan F plus, FP4 plus, HP5 plus, SFX, XP2 plus, Delta 100, Delta 400, Delta 3200 Kodak : Tri-X, Tmax 100, Tmax 400, Bergger : Panchro 400 Foma (and Arista.edu): Fomapan 100, 200, 400 Ultrafine (Kentmere?): (E)Xtreme 100, 400 There are also a bunch of film stocks I believe are just repackaged: Rollei , Agfa , LOMO , Holga Black and white films I've used in my lifetime that are gone: Agfa : APX 25, 100, 400 Kodak : Plus X, Veri
