I believe the reason that the recent Kodak 25 speed emulsions were discontinued was they were able to make signifigant improvements in the 100 emulsions to the point that the 25 was obsolete and they were unable to make the corresponding improvements in the 25's so goodbye 25. The films that came out at same time of 25 ending were gold 100, royal gold 100, and supra 100. I think the current film "Bright Sun" (100, damn tacky name). is most likely as good as any 100 they ever made and probably matches those old 25s too. JCO
