I just read in Amateur Photographer that Fuji are to permanently cease
production of Velvia 50 in a year's time. Apparently they can't get one
of the magic ingredients.

There will be an ISO 100 replacement (not to be confused with the
already existing 100F) which will have all the saturation of Velvia 50.

Charlie Waite (UK landscape pro) says he knows of people who will buy
up £5000 of the outgoing 50 and freeze it.


Is it also true that they are going to call the new 100 version
'Cartoonia' to avoid confusion with the 100F?
