Fuji superiaa 800

kxjiru · Dec 5, 2014

Is the 800 speed superia discontinued? I found it earlier this summer but now i can't seem to find it at all, in store or online (well one on Amazon for $49 for 4 rolls).

I think Fuji US may have "discontinued" it (ie: stopped importing it).

Still available here.

That would suck. Wal-Mart used to carry it, but I don't see it listed on their website anymore.

I still see it in some of their stores in central Illinois. It doesn't seem to be on B&H's web site any more though. Fuji uses it in their disposable waterproof cameras though.

Maybe is a rebranded Lomo film?

B&H has 6 packs on backorder for me and its been at least 2 months. Ill just have to order Ebay.

B&H shows it as discontinued. I hope not. I have an e-mail into Fujfilm. I hope they respond.

Well, that one certainly disappeared quietly. I just bought 8 rolls from Wal-Mart a couple of months ago. First Superia 1600 now Superia 800. Fuji sure is doing a piss poor job of supporting the film community. We are now left with Superia 200, Ultra 400 and Pro 400H.

This means the only 800 CN is now Portra right?

perkeleellinen · Dec 7, 2014

Easy to find in the UK.

Pioneer · Dec 7, 2014

United States is now the land of the big box store. If something doesn't sell well enough in a big box store it is moved out in favor of something else that does. Superia 800 must have been one of those that didn't make the cut. Like many, many other things that are missed.

Ah well, I do like Portra 800. Guess I'll have to order some just in case it end up on the block.

I wanted to try some Portra 800...but at $11/roll, I took a pass.

Hi Steve

They also have the 1600 for sale &
'Autumn 2012 - NEW LOWER PRICE!'
may be an out of date web page syndrome

Took a quick look at the bay and some german seller listed this film with a 6/2016 expiration or whereabouts. Which puts the latest batch being manufacured this year.
They use it on their disposables. IIRC they have a 400 and 800 version of them.

Dear Brian,

Thank you for contacting FUJIFILM North America Corporation. Please allow us to assist you.

Our 35mm Superia film remains in production and available at retail in 200, 400, and 800 speeds...

The rest is more or less cut and paste telling me what they can't do: sell to me directly, look up dealer information, etc.

But it sure seems like something is going on with it.

Pioneer · Dec 8, 2014

B&H says it is discontinued.

There is someone called Life Deals selling it on Amazon for $49.99 a 4-pack of 24 exposures. That is more than Portra 800 costs for a 4-pack of 36 exposures. Must be really, really good stuff.

Haha, that's the listing that prompted this post. I came across a 2 4-packs for 20 on Ebay. I went to eat and when I returned, it was gone.

bvy · Dec 8, 2014

Wal-Mart in the US used to keep four-packs on its shelves. I hope anyone reading this who finds themselves in a Wal-Mart will take a moment to look and report back. (I try not to find myself there ever, but my wife occasionally ventures out...)

Well I checked mine yesterday and none to be found. Plenty of 200 and 400 but no 800, not even in the disposable cameras.

Of course, it should be realized that Elko, Nevada probably isn't at the hub of supply as far as Wal-Mart is concerned.

As of a couple weeks ago, I have seen it in several WalMarts in TN, both rural and urban settings.

bvy · Dec 9, 2014

Still at the Cranberry, PA store, but the expiration dates are all 6/2015 (by comparison the 200 and 400 are dated 2017). I picked up a pack.

flavio81 · Dec 9, 2014

What about the 1600 speed? For years it was my favorite color film...

Jon Buffington · Dec 9, 2014

Just double checked at the Signal Mtn Walmart in Chattanooga, TN. 5 packs of 800, I bought two of the 4-packs. Dated 6/2016.

StoneNYC · Dec 10, 2014

They use 800 speed in underwater cameras, wonder what they will use for them now...

1600 speed color has been gone for ages flavio
