Looks like Velvia 100 & 100f sheet film will be dropped in 2017. At present the narrowing is getting down to Velvia 50 & Provia in LF transparency as far as I know. Although Velvia 50 in sheets must be bought directly from Japan at this point.
Yikes. The pickin's are getting slimmer and slimmer. I have tried Provia several different times over the years and never did like it. Weird color casts, especially in low light.
Harley, as long as they keep making the V-50 I won't have to change brands and or flavors. I still get V-50 in LF from Japan. And, the V-50 in 120 roll is over the counter at all film places on line still.
I never liked either V-100's or Provia. V-100 was too flat, V-100f too magenta, and Provia too blue / cyan for my tastes. However, as we know all can be corrected in PS to our likes, within reason of course.
I suspect Film Ferrania is eating all this up as they keep working to come on line with their 100 brand. They have spent a TON of money and time on making their plant very modern and up to industry standards. All they need to do now is get a roll of film out the door......
