From their Facebook page:
We wanted to update you on a change to our film portfolio. Due to low sales volume, Kodak is ending production of KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX P3200 Film (TMZ). The demand for ultra-high speed B&W film has declined significantly, and it is no longer practical to coat such a small volume of product.

The suggested replacement is KODAK PROFESSIONAL T-MAX 400 Film (TMY-2). The latitude of TMY-2 allows it to handle one stop of underexposure (EI 800) without being pushed. In low light situations, TMY-2 delivers very good results when exposed at EI 1600 with increased development time.

You can find more information here about the remaining portfolio, as well as information on sheet films available through special order at K. B. Canham Cameras, Inc. http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/products/films/filmsIndex.jhtml?pq-path=13319

got 4 rolls but will be ordering some more.

Night time photography is fun! shame to see the end of a 'proper' 3200 roll.

Ilford Delta 3200? Available in both 35mm and 120 formats still.

Both TMZ and Delta 3200 were hideously expensive, I've shot one roll of Delta 3200 but I simply can't afford it per shot.

None of them are actual 3200 speed anyway, their about ISO 800 - 1000 and pushed to 3200, hence why it is labelled as an exposure index rather than an ISO speed and the dev times are so long for them, when TMZ first came out some labs actually charged extra for processing it as it had such a long time.

The high price is sadly because they are quite a speciality film and as so it costs much more to coat it because of the low volume.
