Seen this several places this morning. Guess it is time to stock the freezer a bit?
A good shot is it worth on every pricing. But at first I find a good shot just per decade and at lastI'm good on Fuji Film for now. My freezer is full enough. Honestly, I think it's a good move. They're making a conscious effort to keep film profitable for them, so they don't run themselves into financial trouble and have to abandon film all together.
Then again, when you shoot sheet film, you kind of get numb to the high prices for film and processing. When you get used to asking yourself "is this shot worth $10?", it's not much of a change to ask yourself "is this shot worth $13.30?".
True on all points! I guess I'm just looking at it from the angle that I'm glad anyone is still making film. Especially a company like Fuji who has so many other divisions within their company that make so much more money for them. Most businesses in their situation would have dropped that department long ago to concentrate on sectors with higher growth potential and better profitability. I mean Xerox (used to be called the Haloid Company) no longer makes photographic equipment or paper. 3M used to be a mining company. Nintendo made playing cards. The list goes on and on.A good shot is it worth on every pricing. But at first I find a good shot just per decade and at last
I noticed hundreds of bad shots every quarter.....!
And Fujifilm isn't responcible to teach me to come to better shots from highest film pricing.!
with regards
Jon you are welcome (of course you are) but I also don't want to annoy you Jon - so pls.
forgive me to state :
Guess it is too late to stock the freezer - much too late I would state!
But stop .....Jon (I just read again and noticed "a bit") could that mean that there is (today) something beside frozen wild meat in your freezer ?
Lets start a challege ? What is inside from Fujifilm and what have you payed ?
with regards
PS : No fear - burglars are adviced not to hear.......... !

Except if they want to maximize profit for their remaining stock. Which is still an amazingly smart move (for them).
OK you've won Jon.....Currently have about 30 or so rolls of c200, 20-30 rolls of xtra400, 50' of superia 400, 5 pack of velvia 50 and 4 rolls of provia. I have been cleaning out my stash of xtra 800, maybe 10 rolls of it left frozen. I may sell that off. I would worry about the chromes but can shoot ektachrome. I prefer kodak c41 and use the portra's as my "pro" film and have plenty of kodak consumer stock as well.
I am sure they crunched to numbers to optimize the demand price curve before they announced the increase.You think that maybe the price increase might cause them to lose more sales there by making them to lose more money than the increase brings in ?
First day of the calendar quarter?Does the date of the increase mean anything? April 1st
the prices should be high enough for them to have a profitable business without losing customers.https://www.pdnonline.com/gear/film...percent-price-increase-for-film-photo-papers/

Guys, as far as I know, this isn’t an official Fuji announcement.
