Fujifilm is Back with 35mm Film!

Recent news from an international social media outlet, stating that Fujifilm I back producing film, but it won't be in Japan anymore. While it's not clear whether the C200 and C400 emulsions are Fuji's unique chemistry or not, many sleuths on the internet are predicting that Fuji is just finishing and packaging the film at this new factory.

I HAVE A PLAN ARTHUR, YOU JUST GOTTA HAVE FAITH, WE NEED M O N E Y

Another week another Fuji film dead/alive video 💀

Just an FYI, this will still be Kodak emulsion, but finished on Fuji equipment in China. The only thing changing is where the film is finished. The plant in china has never had a film coating line, they were only ever a finishing facility for medical film and color film for the Chinese market.

Funny thing is the photo at 0:42 It says "美国制造” which translate in English is "Made in USA"

everything really depends on the chinese market. IF film popularity will still grow in china then we might see some old fujifilm stocks coming back into market, but imo it will take good couple of years till fujifilm decides that they may make ton of money by doing so. These recent news spark a little bit of hope for all of us for fujifilm comeback to film market.

The film will come back... it's coming back.... (waits for film to come back after saying it's going to get some cigarettes).

From the pictures it just looked like they were repackaging kodak film though.

if the Rollei 35 AF is a huge success, maybe we see other MFG try to relight the film thing with a new release and then maybe a small snowball forms for more film production. Let's hope. I just purchased a late serial number Nikon F5 in like new condition from Japan.

Some consumer 35mm is being produced that says Fujifilm on the box. Behold, they are rising Christ-like from the tomb🌄

Any news like this is good news, but am hoping for more 120 films, especially Provia and Velvia, to compete with Ektachrome which is priced at monopolistic levels - not to mention that Provia looks quite different and better for portrait. Thanks for the update.

I don't think made is USA Fuji 200 and 400 are Gold and Ultramax, I think they are similar, but the bases are different. Kodak are emulsion finishers, much like Ilford finishes Across for Fuji. Therefore, the mixture is Fuji's recipe and Kodak produce it. However, that being said, the look of Fuji 200 and 400 are not anything like their old relatives. The greens and reds used to pop, with fresh clean whites too. Now it's the Gold look, yellowy and rich. This is good news though, keep Fuji alive and we may get Pro400H back. 🥲

I’m gonna assume you’ve seen my Fujicolor 100 tests I’ve posted on Reddit.

So will we see a resurgence in the envelopes to send the films away to be developed ?
😆

Well, Fuji film being produced in China is an end of line thing.
And more money pumped into China. But that another debate.

isn't shanghai actually from belgium?

Nice clickbait with provably false title 🙄

But will it look like fuji 200 from 2011 😊

I thought Fuji never went away completely. I see packets of Fuji 400ASA in Walmart all the time. I don't see 100ASA film in Walmart.
