[LargeFormat] 8x10 B&W Film

[Les Newcomer]

the alt photo world calls Bergger the closest thing to the beloved, much
missed Super XX.  Just like the rumor about the Beatles getting back
together, there a persistant rumor that Kodak is going to reintroduce this.
Maybe now that they are opening a new B&W coating plant for Trix and Tmax
these silly rumors will end.

The new plant sustains the life of Trix and Tmax and possible plus X,  but
kills verichrome, Ektapan, and everything else B&W. "The future is in sand
not silver" Kodak's new motto.
