Most Fuji Pro C-41 Films Discontinued

<p>I live in New Zealand :)</p>

<p>Thanks but I am not going to dwell into discontinued film.</p>

<p>reala and superia wills till be available?<br>

I like them both very much. they are good to me, especially the price-quality proportion.</p>

<p>From what I read, Superia still there. I mean what, take away the supermarket film, haha, nice one. What is my mum and dad going to use. </p>

<p>Reala which is only in 35mm now I think, no more 120? Reala is canned. <br>

I am confused, see below. Does it mean Pro160S is gone for 35mm but still available under a diff name for 120 format? Or does it mean "all" Pro160S is gone but reincarnated unde a diff name?</p>

<p>Fujifilm Professional has announced the withdrawal of three of its films. The affected products are Neopan 400 120, Superia Reala 35mm, and Pro 160S 35mm.<br>

The remaining films in the Pro 160S range are to be re-branded as Pro 160NS, to fall in line with a global name change. The film itself remains unaltered.</p>

<p>Is Pro 160S gone for 35mm but still available for other formats? Or is it all gone but all come back in a diff name?</p>

<p>It is disontinued in 35mm. It will stick around in the other formats under the name Pro 160NS.</p>

<p>Thanks Zoltan </p>

<p>I would of thought the S was the more popular one. So C H Z will remain.... hmm.....</p>

<blockquote>

<p>What else does Fuji make if not film?</p>

</blockquote>

<p><br /> They also make <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/FujiFilm/">an extensive line of digital cameras</a> , every single one of which has the ironic "Fujifilm" emblazoned on the front.</p>

<p>I have never shot 160s myself, but here is a photo I took on 160c last fall:</p><div></div>

<p>The most interesting thing of all, is that with all the discussion going on, Fuji Film head office has not come out with a press release speeling out exactly what the heck is going on. Who does these guys marketing? </p>

<p>I mentioned something about the 4x5 Quickloads being discontinued in February, 2010, but the inferrence was made that I was rumor mongering. However, this is seriously a bad sign!</p>

<p>Time to start stocking the freezer with brick after brick!</p>

<p>Film is not dead. And will never be. Digital is digital. How many accesories are made for digitals? How many are for film? If you take a digital camera you'll never need another "senzor". And we need this film senzor for our photos. Digital photography will never offer the same sense that offers the film. Maybe I am too melancolic, but this is what I feel.<br>

And I guess Fuji will came with new stuff in town...maybe for another few years. I hope. And I hope Fuji fill think again about Neopan 120. Is a wonderfull film.<br>

In Europe, at Fuji Lab, Neopan 120 is still there, for a while :-)</p>

<p>Mircea, no, film isn't completely dead, but it is dying. We have to face that reality, if not our own impotense in curtailing it. When I heard Fuji ridding their version of tungsten, at the beginning of this forum several days ago, it was like the day last June D-Day for Kodachrome. The digital powers-that-be will not tolerate a world where film.paper/chemicals/darkrooms exist, like big oil will not tolerate electric powered cars. It's ALL politics 1st, the failing economy 2nd, and declining film sales 3rd.</p>

<p>Thank you <strong>DF</strong>, but...<br>

Yesterday I developed two movies, Ilford Pan F +, bulk, received from someone. Films have been underexposed, I think with about 3 stops, because there was almost nothing on them. Maybe that person was wrong about notation or film inside. <br>

Steel developing tank that I have, made me some problems, also yesterday, with Fuji Neopan 1600. Being older movie, I could not make it right. Or do not know what happened. Several shots were glued together.<br>

That was my first two films broken. I was very upset. Avus not even one day too colorful.<br>

But I never give up. And I managed to make two films Ilford HP5 +. They came out well. It was like a ray of sunshine above the clouds of black.<br>

<br />What I mean is that the digital will not provide the same feelings of emotion, the same joys, same vision ... whatever will be the future of film.</p>

<p>People will still be shooting film 150 years from now - and it will probably be made by Ilford. Only this last Saturday I met a guy in a bookshop who had just gone out and bought a Leica M6 and was setting up a darkroom.</p>

<p>I have the official list from Fuji that might help to clear some of this up, but I can't attach the scans in either Safari or Firefox. What looks like a dialog box starts to come up but stays blank. Any help?</p>

<p>I work at a pro-lab in Austin and we just got the new Price Sheet from Fuji. <br />The Neopan is still on there as is 400H in 35mm, 120 and 220, also Realla in 120 propaks (5 rolls).<br>

All the E-6, Instant and B&W is still the same.<br>

But, gone are the 160S and C and 800z in any size.<br>

There wasn't even any official notice in the letter. It just advised you to take note of films that weren't on there, without any explicit list.</p>

<p>why can't they just make a smaller sub division? There is still a market for it. Ilford is still around. </p>

<p>Hello, I am from Mexico, the Last Man Standing here, and I went to buy reel of film as I usually do for my weddings, and Fuji didn´t have professional negative left, I bought from New York some for the work I needed to end up this year, but that´s it, the guys in Fuji Mexico told me the professional color negative factory is closed, no more film!!! So now I am really sad, I was the only freaking photographer in my entire country shooting negative, even with some stupid people making fun of me for that. Now I have two ways left: Do like Jorge Gasteazoro and say "Digital killed photography" and start painting. Or to start doing digital. I am for real a photographer, I don´t do digital I always said, I only do photography. Now even Fuji abandon me, and some of you too. Now my friends please tell me your best advise.</p>

Fuji's supply has become so erratic I can't actually figure out what products they currently offer. I've gone over to Kodak entirely - they're doing what they can to keep their product line current, and the new Portra 400 (don't know if it's available in Mexico yet but easy to get from New York in 120, 220 and large formats, and starting to come in stock in 35mm) is fantastic stuff.

<p>Tagging this now, several months later, I just ordered more, fresh 160S 35mm Fujicolor from a PhotoNet sponsor. No problems; no delays in delivery are expected and the price was about a dollar per roll cheaper than Kodak's comparable offering.</p>
