IMHO if that is the last film available, while I would prefer
something else,
it's not a bad choice. We could be stuck with Verchrome Pan, or even
worse
that chromogenic film with the orange base.

This may be correct. B&H in the US lists Plus X and both Tri X's in 120
but only the TriX 320 in 220. Plenty of the chromogenic crap but only in
120. That's sad because I only get 10 exposures on a 120 roll with my
Pentax 6x7.

being an RB shooter I can sympathize. I use 220 when I can find it on ebay, and the
freezer has been pretty well stocked lately, good thing too, as there's a dearth of decent
short dated film on ebay these days.
