I went to buy some film today and figured I'd stock up on Provia and Velvia, having shot the stack of boxes I bought at the beginning of the year.
It was quite a surprise to hear that Velvia had increased to $99/box (20 sheets) and Provia wasn't far behind at around $85. When I bought these last earlier this year it was around $50 for the Provia and $60 for Velvia, as far as I can remember. On the recommendation of a colleague, I bought a few boxes of Ektar instead and will try it out.
Fuji seems to have really increased their prices. I asked, and went online to check, it looks like Kodak only has Ektachrome in 35mm, everything else is negative/C41 or black and white.
Just curious if anyone else had noticed the pretty significant price bump? Business strategy from Fuji, raise prices within the backdrop of there not being any other options to choose from! Kodak has no slide film whatsoever in 120 rollfilm or 4x5 sheets.
Cheers!
