    Velvia Discontinued?

    I just looked up 4x5 Velvia on B&H. The listing is tagged "DISCONTINUED"

    Is it still available from another supplier?

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    Drew: Email Kumar Brahmajosyula uchinomishiharai@gmail.com

    He can have it shipped directly from Japan. I paid $167 recently for twenty sheets of 4x5 Velvia 50 including shipping. You can get it in about six days from ordering.

    Oh, were you refering to Velvia 50 or 100. 50 in 4x5 is only available directly from Japan. Velvia 100 is being discontinued because it has an unapproved chemical in it. Velvia 50 does not have that chemical.

    The screen capture below shows US availability, as of earlier this month, of Fuji and Kodak colour film stocks. Prices are from B&H. Second price is cost per photo.

    I wouldn;t buy 100 any more. Even if you can get it, you may find that the labs won't process it because of the chemical in it that's been banned.

    Thanks all:

    I have found that Ektachrome 100 is again available from B&H at ! $60 for 10 sheets.

    In the past, I had prteferred EKtachrome over Velvia anyway.

    B&H availability on Ektachrome 100, as well as on all the other Kodak and Fuji colour films in 4x5/8x10, is in the chart attached to post #5 above.
