Fuji Velvia 100 in 4x5

[Leigh]

OMG. I just spoke with Cy Franks again. Now he is telling us it is NOT discontinued.

Exactly the same thing happened when they discontinued 10-sheet boxes and went to 20-sheet boxes.

There were reports that the film had been discontinued, when in fact only the packaging changed.

Perhaps it's a translation problem.

Cy:

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

+1. Greatly appreciated.

Seems like this is not the first time that we've been subjected to this "SKU number change / Discontinued" ambiguity.

I do think that the North American reps of Japanese firms would benefit greatly from a two day course in Business communications with the Japanese (serious and sincere suggestion). I think taht we have once again fallen to a simple cultural mis-understanding.

Cy and Jeff... THANKS - you guys are both class acts.

I read six pages of this and then could not take it anymore. What sucks for me is that the last E6 lab in Thailand closed in January and now I have nowhere to develop my film. Can anyone recommend a mail order lab in the US?

Hi Tim,

Dodge Chrome is an excellent lab here in the DC area that will do processing by mail.
It's a large operation. They do some of the major displays in the Mid-Atlantic area.

They're committed to supporting film work.
That's the lab I use for all my E-6 and b&w developing. Very high quality.

Tim, the conclusion is that it is still available and was a sku number change and confusion when retailers tried to order with the old number.

Thanks guys. Glad the film is still available, though I wish I could develop it here. Most of the color I have shot recently has been Fuji instant, which is okay for the hipsters but just doesn't have the quality I'm looking for. When I bought the Ebony the seller also sent me a box of color negative film, but I have not tried that yet. I miss Velvia 50, and in the old days (35mm), I loved Kodachrome. Oh well...

I miss both, you're pretty close to japan, perhaps shipping Velvia50 from Japan to Thailand is not as expensive as shipping to the US?
