Is Fujichrome Effectively Dead Outside of Japan???

Velvia 100 35mm size in stock as I write this at FotoImpex (DE) at a good price

FUJI Velvia 100 135/36 - fotoimpex.com analogue photography

Please Note: Due to extremely high demand and limited availability, Fuji Slide Film is limited to 2 rolls per person, while supplies last. Multiple orders may be canceled ...

It looks like Fotoimpex has a limit of 2 rolls per person for Velvia 100 135-36, while the other German suppliers, such as Maco and Nordfoto don't. Unless it is a part of s bigger order, ordering just 2 rolls of film is not viable because of the high delivery charges.
Fotoimpex has had a prob;lem of selling short dated films this year. without stating the fact. I got in May 2025 Portra 160 dated 11/2025, with no reduction in price, not were I noticed the film is about to expire soon. That said, many of the retailers had a lot of Portra about to expire in their hands at the time, but they were more straight about the fact. Often this kind of film is sold with substantia; discounts.

Fotoimpex, I know you are popular in Europe, but don't let the thing slip out of your hands by not caring about your customers.

See my post #97 ... it's always a bit of a random process when ordering online, but until this last shipment my Provia 100f 120 size always came with at least 18 months, usually 20, of in-date life ... that includes FotoImpex.

I'm encouraged by an earlier comment that Fuji transparency films age well, meaning that if they are stored properly, they should perform well beyond the date stamped on the box.
