As Lachlan says - the notice isn't about manufacture, it is about packaging.By combining production lines, that means they're shutting done one or more lines. Not good possibly. On the other hand, that might make the production more efficient lowering costs and keeping the product profitable so they won't shut down production entirely. Of course, they already stated that Velvia 50 in sheet film is going to end soon. That's no good because I really like that film and just started to shoot 4x5.
Well, that should make them more efficient to keep product lines and also to keep prices from going up more than they are.No, all it means is that they're (finally) moving to a single product/ packaging stream for all products rather than separate ones for global and domestic markets. Ilford and Kodak did this a long, long time ago.
In addition to changing the box, the article says they're combining production lines. Efficiencies go up. Costs go down. Maybe they'll change their minds and continue Velvia 50 in sheet film.As Lachlan says - the notice isn't about manufacture, it is about packaging.
Of course, confectioning (including packaging) and distribution costs as much or more than manufacturing, so perhaps "production" might be the right word.
I read that as referring to the production of packaging, not the film itself. The product (film) is unchanged.the article says they're combining production lines.
...
Still, products like C200 and all Fuji slide films are already ridiculously overpriced for what they are, and now, the rumormill states a 20-60% increase, again? I mean, if Fuji wishes to focus on the pharma stuff and Instax, that's fine, just have the guts to do so.
you're right. It's only the box.I read that as referring to the production of packaging, not the film itself. The product (film) is unchanged.
Can anyone here who uses product sold in Japan have information on whether the edge printing on film differ between the markets?
The irony is that here the official distribution entity is called FujifilmUSA, even though film is now just a tiny and diminishing part of their overall business.
Fuji use as their brand "Fujfilm" at least since 1971, and they stuck to it even when they hardly sold films any longer (in the days before Instax came back into stores).
They even cruised around in those years over cities with a blimb, with only one message "Fujifilm".
I wondered what people make out of that.
