I'm not too happy about the 20% increase in price, though. But...at least these films will continue to be available.
I totally agree, Preston. But after being stripped of my manhood at the gas pump this morning, film seems like a bargain right now. The last order I placed for V-50 in 4x5 straight from Japan I was amazed at the price. With shipping it was about $75 a box and those were prices we paid at B&H, Badger, & Samy's years ago when we could get it from them. So, when I get low on 4x5 I'll go that route again, as there is nowhere to get it here in USA any longer anyway. The 120 size I buy all the time through B&H, in fact, Jim should have received a note on my site click through on that load the other day........

2 repliesFor the other person(s) besides me out there that might follow these updates, here is the latest from Fuji.
The term CUT here refers to cutsheets of Large Format, usally 4x5 & 8x10, and not that the film is being dropped.

Interesting charts on PetaPixel, indeed.
I am glad Fuji is continuing the V-50, V-100, Provia, and Acros LF films. Out of the color films, I prefer V-100.
I won't miss V-100F. It had a magenta cast that drove me nuts.
