Outlook for Fujifilm fp100c?

[BobCrowley]

I don't have the answer to any of this, but I know one thing. FP-100C is a fantastic, nearly magical analog product, and I hope that it stays away for very many years to come. I find so much deep enjoyment and satisfaction in being able to use my peel apart type Polaroid cameras. These small prints document so many parts of my life so nicely. It is my hope Fuji is able to make a bit of cash enough from production to remain satisfied, or perhaps an executive has a liking for peel apart or some sort of saving grace! I have often wondered though, if there is a connection with any other products, as when some of the Fuji Black and White products were discontinued, we lost FP-3000B...They need to get the negative for the pack films from some place....That's just thoughts, no fact.

Agreed

Will be a dark day when fujifilm completes its transition to cosmetics, drugs and medical devices.

I remember talk a very long time ago (perhaps 1990? maybe earlier) that Fuji listened to people who loved their Single Eight movie system and continued production after people brought it's existence to the attention of the senior management (not sure how long for however).

As regards logistics, I would assume that these days it's not such a big deal, after all it's not a product that has to be demonstrated so a mail order system based in Japan would work fine, especially as these days you can get shipping systems that pay all the duty and charges on sending.

This is where someone like impossible project needs to get ahead of the curve and have an agreement with Fuji to keep this film going. It would not surprise me in the least if the day we hear of plans to discontinue he last run will have already been completed and the equipment already trashed, with the end of production date simply being the estimated time to run down existing stock. We should try to find out where exactly the factory is.
