Are there really so few choices?

Well, I just received a 5-pack each of Fuji 400 NGH and Portra 160 -- that plus a box of Fompan 4x5 has pretty well shot my photography budget for this month...

I have used the Lomography color offerings, and imo they are serviceable but none of them are labled as their "True speed"
I wouldn't recommend them for serious/fine detail work.

Fujifilm Pro 160NS is also still available, albeit only in Japan, you can buy it on eBay. It is a lovely film

I have a few packs of it in 120 that are just a couple years past the date. It is a really nice film. Glad to know its still available one way or another.

I still have two fresh packs in the fridge.

In my view they are....but they're very much 1980s/90s films. They're not under exposed at all at box speed but they don't make the colours pop or brighten up dull days like Kodak Gold does - and for something like 30 years that's been the look most colour negative films have had. They also can look dull compared to digital photos especially if "vivid" mode is the default.
