Kodak Verichrome Pan

Discontinued 2002BW

Kodak's medium-speed (EI 125) panchromatic roll film with extremely fine grain and wide exposure latitude, similar to Plus-X Pan Professional but without retouching surfaces. Wikipedia dates it 1956 to 2002; by Kodak's December 2002 sheet it was discontinued and sold only in 120 and Cirkut rolls.

Kodak F-7 (Dec 2002) marks it discontinued. Wikipedia gives 127, 620 and other roll sizes historically; 116/616/122/126/828 are outside the site's format list.
