Fujifilm's plans to change film lineup

[Dirk Rösler]

FYI

this is from the current issue of Asahi Camera. Fuji is discontinuing or contemplating to do so (I say so because no dates are provided at all) for the following:

* Neopan Presto 400 120 size (the column notes the seeming contradiction given the 6x7 folder it released last year)
* 12 and 24 exposure rolls for 35mm film will be gradually phased out
* Acros 100 in 11x14 size (special order)
* Provia 100 F 11x14 (special order)
* Pro 160 NC 120
* T64 reversal 4x5 sheet film
* T64 reversal 4x5 QL
* T64 reversal 8x10

Presto 400 (Neopan 400) will continue in 135. All 120 film now in production will only be sold in boxes of 5 from now on.

Note: no mention of Quickload other than T64

I didn't know that 12 exposure rolls of 35mm film even existed.

I think they were designed for half frame cameras.

They must be crazy, Neopan 400 & 160 NC are their high-end films, still massive in use by pros and amateurs alike... don't get the logic behind contemporary economics (speak: shareholder value...)

[mikebarger]

Wondering what kind of number represents massive related to film sales?

[r.e.]

Is the reference to Pro 160NC, which I assume is an error, supposed to be to 160C or 160S?

[Dirk Rösler]

160NC is the Japanese product name, probably corresponds to 160C

[Songyun]

Is Astia 810 still available in Japanese market?

[Dirk Rösler]

Yes, Astia 100F is available in 8x10

[Songyun]

Yes, Astia 100F is available in 8x10
