I was looking forward to getting to know Verichrome Pan but, much to my regret, that won't be possible. The discontinuance of it is, unfortunately, a fact rather than a rumor, as a visit to this link will confirm: http://www.kodak.com/cluster/global/en/professional/support/techPubs/f 7/f7.jhtml(posted 8086 days ago)From my limited experience with it, it strikes me as a more brilliant version of Plus-X, with wonderful highlight detail and separation. I'm very disappointed with Kodak's decision.
