[Scott Fleming]

How can this be? Film is dead, right?

not much use to us though, its in toy camera sizes.

Fuji also update their sheet film. NPS 160 is now NPS 160S.

Now my "toy" 8x10 has fresh new film to use. Yippee!

Gee Mark, I never thought my Leicas were toys?

Why the need for the put down?

Great photography doesn't "only" happen in Large Format. My approach is to honor anyone's creative expression regardless of his or her cameras size.

I wish our posting reflected a positive attitude. Can't we rise above the pettiness. It really turns me off to see all the negative stuff on this forum.

While there is no indication on the Provia, the T64 Professional indicates that it will be available in sheet film.

Oh, relax Walter. It was meant as a joke. We need more people on this forum with a sense of humour.

It would also be interesting to know if the Provia 400X is NOT available in sheet film sizes or just NOT available to Fuji USA in sheet film sizes. I have not done the digging through the Fuji Corporate home site but if we have someone who reads Japanese following this thread the answer would be mildly interesting.

As many of us know, some of Fuji's marketing decisions seem curious, to say the least, from a user's viewpoint. The most curious being their absolute refusal to supply Fuji USA with 5x7 sheet film (which is available in Japan ... and in Europe cut as 13x18) even with a largish (100 box order guarantee). I confirmed this with Fuji USA folk a year ago and reconfirmed it through our friends at Samy's, after they managed to push through the 8x10 order a few weeks ago. No such luck on 5x7.

Hey Mark, was your comment meant as a joke?

I'll withdraw my comment if it was.

Andrew thinks it was, and I hope he's right, but since I've joined this forum I've been pulled down by so much negativity, I may be losing my sense of humor!

Now there was this chicken crossing a road with a toy camera . . ..

Ted, the only mention of 400X on the Japanese web site so far is in a list of products to be introduced at PMA. No details. I can find Provia 400F in the regular product listing, but no sheet film formats for that.

Ditto. I looked while ago if Fuji made ISO400 transparencies in sheets and found none. 400X is supposed to replace 400F. It is indicated T64 is available in 4x5 (sheets and QL) and 8x10 at least in Japan.
