Is Fujichrome Effectively Dead Outside of Japan???

[mshchem]

It seems as if Fujifilm has abandoned distribution of Fujichrome through the channels I use, online sellers like B&H.

Leaves only Ektachrome, which I love.

Scares me about the future of E6.

Cost is so high it's purely a luxury good now.

I just developed a couple rolls of Velvia and a roll of Ektachrome. So pretty.

I haven't seen any Fuji E6 films in stock in any of the NYC dealers in the past two years

Yikes!!!! No local places around here have anything. I'm operating off freezer stocks. I'd be in for some 120 Provia and Velvia for sure.

I have not seen any gray market Fuji chrome or color, the fujicolor sold here is rebranded Kodacolor. Are they still selling in Japan?

I thought Fujifilm ceased distribution of Fujichrome products to the USA because of the ban on one of its components, Phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1)

I see expired Fujichrome from Japaneses Ebay sellers but any in date. Did all versions of Fujichrome have Phenol, isopropylated phosphate. With the current move to deregulate environmental regulations wonder if it will make a return.

IIRC just Velvia 100 is affected by this.

Europe wise, Fujichrome (120) is sporadically available according to some fellow forumers but it sells immediately and I haven't noticed any availability during this summer despite having alerts on for some (German) distributors. I gather the same for US as some of y'all mention being able to purchase some when it is rarely available? Heck, even some still have old prices (53€ for a 120 pro pack anyone?). 35mm Fujichrome is however more available.
