kunihiko,
Any word on their colour papers?

 

[kunihiko]

No, it doesn't say anything about color papers.

Thank You.

I use fuji NPS for weddings. $2.49 in 120 @ b&h. The new pro S version that replaces it $3.75
35mm nps- $2.29imp. usa version discontinued.
35mm Pro 160 $3.99imp or $5.79usa

that's more than 10% here

Well with the wedding season comming I'm glad I have 10 bricks of it in the freezer!

That could make a difference in pricing to the client!

Yikes

Hmm, I wonder if with this we might see a boost of the competition of Kodak's Pro lines? I wonder if the color print will trickle down to the consumer films eventually?

I guess this raise in price further cements me from ever trying their B&W films. I am quite satisfied with Kodak, Foma and Ilford so Fuji will just get me on the consumer print film I guess.

No, It doesn't say anything about color chrome films.
Professional color negafilms and B&W related products only.

The renaming of NPZ to Pro 800Z and NPH to Pro 400H etc gave Fuji an excuse to raise prices dramatically a short while ago. Same film, higher price (unlike the two Pro 160 films, which are new films and are noticeably better than the films they replaced).

Best,
Helen

Damn it. We need a real alternative choice over here (in Japan).

Meanwhile I've seen Kodak products (mostly color film) in stores being sold at the low price that's next to nothing, and I just love the clearance sale!
