No more Fuji Neopan or Presto in 400?

[Rolleijoe]

Seems I'm always the last to learn anything. Or, seems like any/every film I like gets discontinued!

Fuji seems to have shot itself in the foot by dropping Neopan 1600, and 400 in 35/120. That stuff was magic in Rodinal. I checked with Japan, gone there too.

Just went through this not too long ago with the entire Efke line, and Kodachrome, then entire E6 Kodak line too! What are they doing, trying to force us into d*****l?

Bought a brick of GP3, got 2 rolls shot, and now I hear it's kaput, too? It's enough to make me pull my hair out if I had any left!

Any words of encouragement out there?

Thanks,

Joe

Sheesh! Neopan 400 has been gone for years!

Oh thats because according to Fuji after selling every roll made in 120 and 35mm they've concluded that there is not any interest in a beautiful 400 black and white film. Sorry!

Been advised to try RPX400, but I also need a replace for Efke 100. Going to try Adox CMS 2 as my slow film speed needs.

Trying to achieve this while on SS is a challenge in itself.

Yep, both have been gone for years. I shot a lot of 120 Presto in my time, and I still miss it. A classic film. Fuji, blah to you!

Ilford and Kodak produce superb 120 roll films. There is also Fuji's own Acros, which really doesn't suit my style of photography (I now use HP5+ and the two TMax films), but is nonetheless an quality product, and still available, for now anyway. A tad expensive, tho.

I've shot it in 120 thru one of my Rolleiflex TLRs, processed in Hc110 1:50. Tone were alright, but nothing like Efke 100.
