Has Diafine been discontinued?

[Greg]

Opened up my last box of Diafine. Went to reorder some more, and it is not listed to be FS in Freestyle, B&H, or Adorama. Acufine comes up in the product searches. Has Diafine been discontinued?

[Oren Grad]

As of this moment, it shows as in stock at Freestyle:

B&H also lists it, but currently back-ordered and for store pickup only, as has been true there for a long time. Adorama still lists it but also shows on back-order.

Finally, the distributor, OmegaBrandess, still lists it:

Thanks Oren. I think that I must have typed in"Acufine" by mistake.

Looks like they are pricing it right out of existence. Too bad -

Omega Brandess bought the company that made Diafine several years ago.

Buy the 1 gallon pkg’s and you’ll be set for the next 4 years. So if you buy a few you’d be set for life.
Freestyle has it in stock at $57.

A reasonable way to look at it. I used Diafine a lot when I photographed musicians in dimly lit clubs; I still have 4-5 1/gal. packages; Acufine is quite useful also and still use it regularly.

FYI: Freestyle shows out-of-stock until 12/31/22.

B+H says my back-ordered (from 6/21) 1 quart Diafine package will arrive Thursday, 2/24/22. $29.95.
