Thank you Stuart.

 

For me, not to much of a concern what looks to me it's mostly Medium format.

Three months ago I did visit Japan once again and spoke to a chap from Fuji on

the future of film, his response was most of the 35mm films are safe for now.

Future will tell.

 

Ken.

Interesting - I thought 220 rolls of all types (and not just Fuji), and Provia 400x in any format, had been dropped some time ago.

 

The good news is that Fuji is giving from 6 to 30 months' notice, so those dependent on a given emulsion/size/format have time to stock up.

A bit sad, but as a MF user it must be thirty years since I used a roll of 220, and as a LF user I have never used Velvia, transparency film and LF never seemed like a good idea unless it was studio based work.

Indeed. Provia 400x in 35mm was discontinued in 2013 for the US and EU markets.

But it was still available in Japan.

Now it's completely discontinued.

 

I still have 6 rolls in the fridge.
