Reports of my Death have been Greatly Exaggerated | On Landscape


By Tim Parkin | Posted March 20, 2013 10:18 am |Responses18Well Fujifilm have done it again – the announcement that Velvia 50 was being killed off last year caused much consternation (even to the point where the venerable David Ward took a Canon 1DX to Iceland!) and also much stockpiling. It now turns out that just like Mark Twain, the corpse is still kicking.

Fujifilm announced today that Velvia 50 has been discontinued – in 5×7 format only. There is a new box design for 4×5 and 8×10 but it’s still going strong. Whether this means it will be available outside of Japan is another matter but it certainly means that importing film is a possibility.

For those of you who have stockpiled, don’t feel too bad. On top of the 20% price rise this year, Fuji are talking about a possible 25% price rise on certain lines (not confirmed yet) so you won’t be regretting that credit card bill.

I heard it from my contacts in Tokyo.
Fuji velvia 50 old stocks had been flooding the market. I bought a few old boxes expired for 50s at about USD$100 each.
So far, expired film since 2006 has been a big OK. Talks about Japanese quality.

Not just Fuji Velvia 50, the venerable Fuji ACROS 100 B&W 4X5 will be discontinued.
New ACROS NEOPAN will have new formular and new packaging also.

Fuji is now much better in the Market as KODAK is dead.
At least they are making money.
