Fuji Pro 160C

That was gone a while ago. The only Fuji Pro C-41 film is the Pro 400H (although Fuji Color Superia and Fuji Color is also still available.) At least that's the way it's been here.....

 

btw, Fuji had announced this spring that they will stop making motion picture film and so I imagine Fuji C-41 still films will eventually follow suit. Discontinuation of Motion Picture Film production | Fujifilm Global

Rats! :(

 

... but thank you for the information.

 

Fuji Pro 160NS is still available -- though only in size 120 and In sheet film -- in the UK. Or, at least, Fuji's UK website and Mathers's online store say it is.

 

I checked Fuji's UK website a few weeks ago , when news of the discontinuance of Provia 400X was posted here, and 160C was still listed. Then, yesterday, it was gone.

 

Checking Fuji's global website to-day, I find that NO Fuji Pro negative films are listed there:

I do hope that's a mistake and not a sign of things to come.

 

Later,

Following this link, I find 4 Superia films and 2 Pro films - same as on the UK site :confused:
That's confusing. So do I ... now.

 

Looking at the page tags ("File" then "Properties" in Internet Explorer) it seems that these pages are under review. Some of them were last updated yesterday, some to-day. And, of course, I may have been picking up an old copy from a proxy server.

 

It seems I may have been reading too much detail into web pages which, like Fuji's range of films, are in a state of change.

 

Sorry about that.

Personally I wouldn't count on the Fuji websites for what you really need to know. The only issue that matters is what can you actually buy now from your local stockist or from reputable film vendors in your geographic region. And in the US all that is officially still available (fresh dated) in the Pro Fuji C-41 line is Pro 400H. And it's been that way for a while now.

 

fwiw, here's something from three years ago: Nearly all Fuji color negative films to be discontinued | Michael Sebastian And here: Post #959885

 

The writing was on the wall back then. And now this spring Fuji announced they were pulling out of motion picture film production completely. Without that side of Fuji's film production there probably just isn't that much motivation to keep manufacturing colour negative film.

 

The reason Kodak Portra is still available is because Kodak wanted to remain in motion picture production. And so they sold the still film side of their film manufacturing to the UK Kodak Pension Plan (KPP) to eliminate their debt obligation to the KPP.
