I believe Gary Reese (??) mentioned this last week.  Sadly, the very slow 
and finest grain films are gradually dying.  Agfa discontinued its ISO 25 
B/W earlier this year.  My fear is the current consumer AF SLR's and the 
incredibly slow AF zoom lenses they are bundled with are killing off the 
slower films.  Nobody with the consumer Wunderbricks can effectively use 
films that slow.  Reminds me; I have a few rolls of K-25 in the 
freezer.  [sigh]
