Where did you get your information? I did a Google search and found the only Fuji film being discontinued is Superia.
If you have a link please share it.

Not really concerned about Fuji film; mostly use Ilford and sometimes other films to test.

My current films for this year are HP5+ and FP4+

Running a 120 Ultrafine Xtreme 100 on my Rolleiflex 3.5f. Lets see how it comes out.

Regards

Marcelo

i use either expired films ( i don't care the flavor ) so i can get whatever was made and is still made.
i also use liquid films so i coat my own stuffs and don't worry about what is and isn't available.

I was talking about films which are widely available in the stores, not expired films. However, if i can get my hands on expired slide films i never hesitate.

On the other side, looking forward to the new ektachrome

Ultrafine Xtreme 100 is a very good film for the money. I bought it to just test cameras and lenses I buy, but have absolutely no problem using it for normal work.

My favorites are Ektar 100, and Portra 400 for color negatives, Velvia 50 for slides, and TMY2, Delta 100, and Pan F Plus for B&W. Luckly they are still all available in 35mm & 120.

I miss Panatomic-X in 35mm & 120. Back in the 1970's I was making beautiful 16x20's using Microdol-X. I miss Agfa CT-18 as well.

I'd bet that current 35mm T-Max 100 in Perceptol would give you less grain than 1970s Panatomic-X. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if X-Tol would do so as well (with better acutance).
One of the biggest things I notice is how much better so many of the modern films are compared to 40 years ago.
