I haven't heard this, but I REALLY hope that's not the case.

They've recently discontinued all the 4x5 stuff I think according to flickr... maybe he was talking about that?

I'm praying that the normal pack film stuff is here for at least a few more years yet... keep everything crossed... and keep buying it I guess so they keep makling it...

If I didn't have all of my fingers crossed I'd be able to type this reply with less difficulty. I'd not heard this either. We need to find out more.

Agree.   This would be seriously bad news...

that would be very sad.  the few examples I've seen of the black and white peel apart have been very nice - almost tempted me to the instant side.

I've been told by some suppliers that Fuji have discontinued the 4x5 instant stuff. I used to used FP100C45 in my 4x5 pinhole.
But I'm wondering now if that's true, if so many of you hadn't heard it.
Sad, sad.
It would be nice if it weren't true.

Definitely need more than a rumor from one person before I believe that 100c & 3000b in standard 100 size were discontinued. I communicated with Fuji three weeks ago regarding the future of these films and was told that 100c is selling very well and that 3000 wasn't doing badly, so, if that's the case then why would they cut out a profitable film?

Just saying.
