For what it is worth, here is a listing for Velvia from Yodobashi Camera (Japan)...
I wonder if the market for Super-8 and other small-guage cine format Velvia 50 might be big enough to be a factor. A couple of companies have purchased the remaining Velvia 50 35mm stock to cut down and reperf to Super-8. The places that are doing this have said they'll just continue with Velvia 100F when the 50 runs out, but there are a lot of old Super-8 cameras out there that don't have a manual ASA setting, so they work best with an ISO 40 film and maybe one or two other settings, and 50 is close enough. On top of that, Velvia 50 is looking like the best replacement for Kodachrome 40 these days, as far as color reversal films go with fine grain and vibrant color. I can't imagine this is a huge market, but maybe it's bigger than one would guess.
Yes. It is called Gold point card system. You buy at Yodobashi, you get points. You can pay by that points next time.Regarding Yodabashi, have they got some sort of rebate system? I always find two prices and a percentage value on their product listings.
Maybe I'll add it to the fridge when it comes out.....
Wow that fridge looks like the big box full of film I have in the freezer. I'd post a pic if I knew how to. Im not even sure I can not being a paid member. I was looking at the EPY in your fridge and it says 50 on the box. I thought that tungsten film was rated 64?
If Fuji does come out with RVP II next spring- I wonder how close to the original it will be and if Fuji will tweak the film or not.
As for the Velvia Super 8- could it be because its too thick to roll smoothly through the cartridge?
