through a glass darkly...
I Hope this is Not true!!!
wow, not that i have ever used Fuji in 8x10 or even their 4x5 in the last 10 years, but if Kodak is the only game in town for color 8x10....i am very nervous

Well the way the regional Fuji operations work, they decide what part of Fuji's output they want to stock in order to make a profit. For example, the UK doesn't stock Astia at all and yet it's still available in the US..Originally Posted by cosmicexplosion

p.s. It was discontinued in 2002 supposedly :-)

mmm well australia aint worth shippin to i guess, must be hard to make only a little bit of money. or is it digital coercion?
Point of fact about Astia, I was in Glazer's this Friday, and there were boxes of 4x5 Astia, expiration date 2013. 20 sheet boxes. Sitting there. Waiting for you.
I heard tell that Fuji Canada is mumbling that their E6 is on the way out, use it now 'cause you're gonna lose it. But that could be just Fuji Canada, and not Fuji USA. Hard to say, because I heard it third hand.

Damn, I was also in Glazer's on Friday, buying the Pentax 67 fisheye I'd eyed on Wednesday. There was much mea culpa on the nightly phone call to my wife that evening, heh.
I think I was the only person in the store for the last 15 minutes I was there (a half hour before closing)--I needed to wander around and talk myself into spending that bit of change. But I've done lots of fisheye work in the past and wanted to do it with this camera, and didn't pay any more for the lens than for a custom-mount Arsat/Zodiak fisheye that isn't as well made. The guys there understood the need of some customers to sin slowly.
I didn't see any middle-aged bearded white guys giving off view-camera vibes. So, either you never made it to my side of the street, or you don't fit the standard LFPF mold. Would have been nice to shake your hand, at least.

I usually only stop in on the film side and then zip back out. I was there between 5:15 and 5:30, snagging 8x10 Portra, and a 5-pack of E100VS and Ektar 100. I think it was a week before last that I was on the other side, buying some printer ink.
PM me beforehand, and we can meet up. I'm easy to spot because I'll have my folding red bike with me.
Yes, ever since Kodak stopped producing E100G.

I think I arrived about that time, but I'd already fully explored the film side on Wednesday. I was traveling and didn't want to buy film--I can call them and have it shipped and not worry about taking it through the airport.
Don't know when I'll be back, but I seem to have made it to Seattle a couple of times a year for the last couple, so maybe there will be another shot.

I just met a photographer last Friday who shoots 4x10 Provia cut from 8x10 sheets. If Fuji stops 8x10 Provia he is going to be very unhappy.
