Title: Small glimmer of hope: Fuji replacing 24-exp Superia with 36-exp rolls
Post by: EarlJam on May 15, 2018, 05:46:51 PM

Posted this morning on The Phoblographer.  While 24-exposure rolls of Superia and Fujicolor have been discontinued, Fujifilm is offering 36-exposure rolls of ISO 200, 400, and 800 emulsions in new packaging. Not sure how much this affects Fuji's seeming goal of exiting non-Instax film altogether, but if it buys us a few more years, all the better.

I've noticed that there are still some Superia 24-exp 4-packs on Amazon for around $3.00 per roll, if anyone's looking to stock up.

I'm still working my way through the 20 rolls of Superia 200 24exp I grabbed for $1/roll when Walmart closed it out a few years ago. One presumes they wouldn't go to the trouble of new packaging if discontinuation was imminent.

Ilford is refreshing its packaging too, I believe.

I've just bought some Acros as i love that film.  Only really used to use it for low light pinholes which i havent taken in ages... but i love the film.
