TechPan: The nails in the coffin

Just to make sure all hope of a resurrection of TechPan
are dashed, Kodak now explains:

"The last Tech Pan coating was several years ago.
Since that time, the old coating room has been
shut down, the gels used in the product formulation
have become obsolete, and we no longer manufacture
the ESTAR support on which the 35 mm product was
coated. There would be considerable cost to recreate
the product, with no guarantee that it would look
and act the same as the Tech Pan Film of old."

So much for dreaming ...
