- Reala 35mm is no longer imported and is effectively no longer going to be available in the UK
- Pro 800Z - again I quote "35mm is not a very popular line, but I've not heard it will be dropped. 120 has already been dropped." (dropped meaning no longer imported by Fuji UK)
The rumour/information/gossip on PFOS and Neopan:

The Japanese government acknowledges that there were 3.6 tons of PFOS used in the photo imaging industry in Japan in 2004 and that the use of PFOS was deemed to have been essential.
I wonder what they mean by `digital imaging films'. What both parties seem concerned most about, however, are semiconductors....
(a) use in coatings for surface tension, static discharge, and adhesion control for analog and digital imaging films, papers, and printing plates, or as a surfactant in mixtures used to process imaging films; and

Just as 3M still makes "Scotch Guard", Kodak makes film. AFAIK, PFOS is not an essential ingredient. Fuji claims that it is for them. I cannot understand the difference.

At this point, this thread has become pure speculation. You'd think they'd give us a firm answer by now. :rolleyes:

anyone notice it only lists color neg and reversal there? No b/w films page.
I've noticed 100 speed consumer 35mm or APS has been delisted from kodak.com. They also don't have faster than E200.
B&H list Sensia 400 import as discontinued and the USA version at $9.95, when Provia 400X is $8.95.
My 2c. Amateur print and slide film, would on the chopping block.
Then perhaps you should by some film mate?
I have 30 rolls in my freezer.
I can only import film with a total price of under $200US before it attracts import tax. I pay $60US for freight.
Film is just too expensive, where I live. Velvia 50 cost us $20US a roll for 35mm. A roll of 160S cost us $14US. Provia 400 might be up to $25US a roll.
