Velvia 50 discontinued?

[kansasjhawk]

I just went to BH Photo to buy some film and it says Velvia 50 is "Discontinued"? Is that true?

Note: I was looking at 4 x 5. Also, Adorama still had Velvia 50 in 4 x 5.

Thanks Dave (even though that news sucks). I'm at least gonna try and get one more box from Adorama.

That was supposed to be m favorite slide, and now it is gone on LF, what else i can use? Velvia 100/100F are good but i favorite 50 more, so why Fuji put an end to this film on that format.

I bought 5 boxes[20 sheets each] to use it in the future, now i think i will not use those sheets until i do shoo with another available slides to understand slide exposure a bit then use Velvia 50 with more confidence, no time to waste some or most Vel50 sheets for tests or non serious shots.
