Seems I've been slow on the news that this film has now disappeared? I bought a brick of it to try out (still have 8 rolls), but now if I like it, I'm screwed? When did this happen?
 
China is hard to read, it may still be around and show up later or be all gone. O would count on seeing it again frankly. I loved the film. Beware that it does NOT handle expiration well as the paper backing starts to etch into the film and high graininess and the numbers shaking through. I still have 10-15 rolls that I use in my Holga and Diana to supplement that "bad" post-expiration date effects. Otherwise use what you have promptly.

Shame, I really liked that film. Had my Chinese father-in-law pick up a load of it for me a few years ago on a trip back to Beijing. I got it for 75 cents a roll!



 
Supposedly moving the factory or something, so it'll probably take some time if it comes back.

Hope that's all it is. Too many films I like tend to go under. (Kodachrome, E100VS, UC100, Efke).
 
Hopefully it'll be back, it was fun to play with and reasonably priced. For serious work I use Fuji or Kodak, though.

Yes, Ilford and some others for me, but I could do serious work no problem with GP3 if it were all like the last 10 rolls I shot.
