Ultrafine Xtreme 100 & 400 to be back in stock in 2025

[Paul Howell]

I just bought a bulk roll of Foma 400, it is quite good in Diafine at 400. I decided to bulk load as I want 20 Exposures for my walk around film, or short rolls of 6 to 8 if want to use the Zone with 35mm with expansion and contraction. When traveling I still use Tmax 100 and 400.

Although I miss the good Arista Premium [rebranded kodak 125 plus-x]

I am still wondering if that was actually Plus-x and Tri-X REVERSAL film. That would expalin the ASA 100 for the Premium 100. Kodak had to change the B&W reversal process mostly used for 16mm and Super 8 film school Movies, which resulted in a revision for Both Plus-x and Tri-X reversal. The premium may have been a way to salvage some unslit master rolls of each, (normaly a 72xx Film slit to 16mm, and further slit for Super8) Both would work fine as a still film, and they were Certainly cheep.

Likewise the Legacy Pro stuff was likly getting old in Fuji's warehouse, and with film sales down at the time, they were proably quite happy to let Freestyle take it off their Hands. The Legacy Pro bulk rolls did come on 100ft metal spools stamped "FUJI FILM"

LegacyPro was a prince of a film, no doubt. I still have one 100' roll of LegacyPro 100 in my fridge. And I just shot the last roll of LegacyPro 400 I had. They did come off by bulks and also by rolls of 36 exposures. On the metal wheel someone could see engraved "Fujifilm" which confirms the manufacturer without a doubt.
