You can purchase this film easily via the Internet, and probably even if you have a professional camera store in your town. You can definitely still get this film.

One of the most popular films is Kodak Triax Probably, it's like really the most popular black and white film. The film tends to be a very versatile film that you can almost use in any lighting situation. It's a little grainy, but it's an excellent film. The other film is T-Max, again a great film.
