I have noticed the same thing; the only place I have regularly seen 100 or
less is Walgreens in the form of Elite Chrome and I think even some 64
Kodachrome at one or two. But then that's marketing for you; the least
number of SKUs with the highest volume sales.
200 to 400 seems to be the staple of the masses wielding their P&Ss, and the
latter perhaps more so.
Cheers,

Subject: [OM] The death of film.. pt n+1
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 16:57:18 -0600
Anyone tried to buy 100 ISO film outside a camera store lately? It's next
to impossible -- even in the drug stores that have a sizeable wall of film,
it starts at 200 and goes up from there. They have 110 film, the
b/w-process-as-colour stuff, various versions of instant, APS -- but
nothing slower than 200.
Now, I know I shouldn't be buying film there if I want quality, but
still, Kodak Gold is meant to be at least passable, right, and all I want is
something reasonably grainless..
