I think it’s tricky for suppliers to stock less used LF sizes when the film has expiry dates and is seriously expensive hence the move to special orders , even B&W has ramped up in price , I have been lucky to find 7x5 and 10x8 B&W outdated film , 7x5 is manageable new but 10x8 has gone up enough to make it a harder decision.
That being said as a yearly planned purchase at one box a year it’s not so terrible compared with many hobbies, until you count any other formats you might shoot.

Thanks all.
Just for some context, I have now ordered two boxes from Keith Canham in the US. I think that will last me for years and years. The price is pretty good (it works out quite a bit cheaper than 5x4).
Nik and Trick have it listed on their site: https://ntphotoworks.com/kodak-portra-pro-160-pro-7x5-5x7/
But after I contacted them they said they had not had stock for a couple of years, the product page was open in the hopes they would get it again one day.
It looks to be similar for Dupli, there is no add to basket option on that page. So it's not in stock.
My guess is both sourced it from Keith Canham, and then added a some markup. (about £100 but the KC price varies depending on how many of his customers sign up per order). I suspect the US is the only place to order it from.
I have a friend who runs a large photo lab in Scandinavia, he has kindly sold me film in the past, his supplier said they could get colour 5x7 directly from Kodak, but it turned out the minimum order is 40 boxes. So I guess you would need a large customer base to sell these on.

I got some from Keith Canham quite a while back now. I've got Portra 160 and 400 from him, I developed a bit myself but haven't been getting on with the reels, I've backed the 8x10 tank Zebra's kickstarter together with together some adaptors to allow 8 x 5x7 sheets.
