Whether or not the speculation that followed this is correct, the
statement above must be taken into account when considering all things. 
Kodak's 35mm stock is split from the 70mm and their 4X5 is cut up 8X10. 
The IR film we purchase is available because it is easy for them to
accommodate.  I've spoken with Kodak friends who say that the 35mm film
barely makes Kodak money, and the 4X5 film slightly loses them money.
