Color negative film: the incredible shrinking selection

[mackigator]

Well, it happened. I went looking for a film I liked and found that it was discontinued. I couldn't help but notice just how few color neg films were for sale, even compared to a few months ago. Check out the two screenshots in my link:

I did those searches today, after realizing that Fuji Pro 160s was gone.

17 items between Fuji and Kodak at B&H (color neg)
20 items between Fuji, Kodak and Rollei at Freestyle (color neg)

I like black and white but, I mean, is that all we'll have left?

So go buy some film! Dropping off color film and picking up scans is my guilty pleasure and this scared me.

You should also look in Europe, especially in Germany.
The supply situation there is often much better compared to the US.
