    Sorry, no idea. All I can say that it is available here as a standard item, I cannot speak for other places.

    Re: Fujifilm's plans to change film lineup

    Neopan 400 is my favorite 120 film by a solid margin. I have been hoping that it would be offered in sheets some time, but I guess that was even more optimistic than I had thought. I'm not even sure what film I will switch to. Some of the deletions are understandable, such as the ULF and tungsten films, but I can't figure out how Fuji is going to completely discontinue their only 400-speed film in medium format. I can understand manufacturer's consolidating their line down to one film of each speed glass, but when you don't even have a 400 speed film I'd say you are pretty much finished. I don't have enough money to lay in a freezerful but I will buy a year or two supply next time I get paid.

    Dirk,

    Is 4x5 Acros Quickload still an available product in Japan?

    Looks like I'll have to buy a bigger film freezer. T64 RTP is an absolute favorite of mine for city lights after dark.... Bob G.

    They didn't say anything about the 220 variants of the same, which is what I'd guess most of the pros would be using. (Although obviously the lack of the 120 will hurt folks using older or simpler cameras that require the paper backing.)

    Don't panic (yet), this seems a loose consideration reported in a magazine. Who knows what'll happen... I'll keep watching. Still no sign of the end of QL anywhere either, and that was "official"

    Neopan 400 in 120 seems history. Very disappointing.

    It's a shame 12 exposure rolls aren't more available. In the past year I've seen one roll, and that was at a Ritz Camera store closing sale. They were good for testing basic functionality of a camera. Even 24 exposure rolls are getting hard to find. Sometimes 36 exposure really is too much. In some ways I wish I could get 24 exposure rolls of Ektar 100.
