Velvia 50
So Velvia 50 hasn't been manufactured for a while due to a required component being unavailable. And most, if not all, stores have run out of it in 135 format. However it seems it's still fairly available at 120 format - is this just because 120 format film stock moves slower or is this version still actually being manufactured? I bought some rolls last month without noticing the 135 format version was gone - and now when doing eBay searches, there's a lot of it in 120 format with reasonable prices, and smaller amounts in 135 format with a relatively high going price. -- |

Probably the best place to check for more info would be apug.org. |

I know they are going to introduce a newer Velvia 50 but am not aware they have done so just yet.. I'll go and check apug.org. (and place an order for the old stuff in 120 format so I'll at least have it in that format). |

Check this thread: http://www.apug.org/forums/forum172/...ikes-back.html Apparently the new product is being shipped out in sample quantities and should be in stores within a month or two, at least in the US (I'm not sure of European availability). Fuji might send you some samples if you ask for them. -- Rod Smith, http://www.rodsbooks.com Author of books on Linux, FreeBSD, and networking |

Velvia 50
I contacted Fuji Finland and they told me Velvia 50 is coming back between July and August for 135 format and in the beginning of September for 120 format. Too late for my summer vacation pics, but I'll manage |

Oh well, I'll manage somehow. I only shoot it during the summer, which is short in Finland anyway |

The difference seems to be in the base, not the emulsion. He has some comparison images: when you click the link, scroll down to see the images: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/00-new-today.htm |

It's not that important, anyway, the way it looks is the thing Did anyone else notice the original Velvia had a tendency to NOT gather dust as much as other films? Or am I just crazy? |
