I had a feeling this was coming, but wow, that was fast!

Very unfortunate, but probably very realistic. Fuji has been more involved in the reversal end of the business for a while and seems to have trimmed their negative films, while Kodak has trimmed reversal and now has fewer, but better and more versatile color negative.

I wonder if Fuji just might be left "holding the bag" on this one?

E6 processing is no longer convenient or especially good in many markets. Why? Lack of demand. Surprised they held on this long.

Personally, I see no reason to use reversal films any longer. This is where I think digital shines.

Agreed, hence my "holding the bag" comment about Fuji.

Jeezachrist! There goes a part of me. I really like that stuff.

I thought it was strange that Kodak was able to hold onto color reversal as long as they did. It seemed to me that those who shot slides, aiming to project, were the first to abandon film for digital.

Let's hope Fuji can continue for a little while yet.

Yes. Looks like the family slide shows may not go on much longer.

"However, says a spokeswoman, <insert film producing company here> will continue to support its other lines of films"

Somehow I've heard that before......!!
