Here is the official page direct from Fuji Japan, albeit in Japanese. None of the films listed in the original posting are to be discontinued, but they will be repackaged. From now on most 120 films will no longer be sold in single rolls, only 5 packs. Neopan 400 is gone in 120 as are all flavors T64.

The post on the LF forum appeared to be the same one quoted here, so until there is official word from Fuji I would doubt it. This should probably be moved to the lounge, until then.

Hope this helps.

Another camera store rumor it appears....I wonder if any rumor that originated from a camera store film counter has turned out to be correct? Sure have read a lot of them that have turned out false here and on LF.

Sometimes I wonder if the salesmen just like to bait the gullible. Let's drop a rumor and see how long it takes to get to the Internet.

Were they trying to sell you a new digital camera?

Good Ken!

Yeah, crap flying out of the cake-holes of camera-store people regarding film discontinuances is getting to be routine.

Maybe we should start automatically discounting anything they say about film until independently verified.

That would be a VERY bizarre move on the part of Fuji.

So much for the "we will be the last man standing" statement by fuji.

That $ucks.

I am angry against digital, I had nothing against it, but now, it is killing my art and I hate that.

I just sent an email to Fuji USA and one to Fuji Japan, and I will call them on Monday. Let's see what the official word is. They recently announced 20 sheet boxes of sheet film, so I doubt everything has been canceled, maybe this is a repackaging like Fuji is doing here in Japan to many of its films. IE no more single rolls, 5 rolls boxes, etc. Sounds like a misread or dealer going off the handle prematurely.
