I`m not the person who started this petition but I give it my support signing it.
Hope all people here loving this film sign it.

Have Fuji announced that they're discontinuing it? Do you have a link to said announcement?

As someone said on flickr, Fuji would read petition signed by our wallets. If that emulsion isn't sold in volumes sufficient to maintain line, they aren't keeping it. I hate to say that but Fuji has nothing about salvation army nor charity in their mission statement.
Personally I got to know just few weeks ago about Neopan 1600.

 

[Mister E]

Speak with your money and order some Neopan 1600.

If you're in the UK, 7dayshop is currently running a special offer on Neopan 1600, 135/36, expiring June 2011, at £2.99/roll (includes postage if you're not in a hurry).

Unfortunately they live in pre-globalisation age. Shipping over island and around only.

find me some stock to order no-one has it at the moment
Freestyle no longer lists it on their web site
I'm pretty certain I'd read it's discontinued, I checked at the local shops and no-one had any
😡

Neopan 1600 is deader than a doornail. Wade this thirteen page post for more info.

Or if you want to cut to the ending, here's a quote from Fuji "With regard to black and white films including Neopan 1600, the condition where (sales figures) are below the smallest producible lot size is continuing, and since we have reached the stage where we can no longer manufacture, we have advised that some sizes will be discontinued. We thank you for your understanding."

Coming from Fuji, however, I would say that quote means nothing at all. These film makers are being deliberately obtuse, IMHO.

Glad I'm waiting for my two bricks to arrive from Japan...

I signed it. Probably won't change anything but it can't hurt.

 

[segedi]

Signed it and promised to buy 50 rolls once reinstated.

@btgc I just bought two rolls to test this out and went back to B&H and it's all gone...

 

[mgd711]

Signed!

I doubt it will make much difference though, but there’s hope, maybe they could do an annual run like how Ilford sell’s its Ultra Large Format film.

 

[gb hill]

Signed! I just bought some of this film. Looking forward to trying it out!

 

[Steve Bellayr]

I find this film comparable to tri-x but faster.

 

[wotalegend]

I signed it, for what it's worth. Only 270 signatures so far. That should cause a bit of mirth in Fujifilm.

 

[Mister E]

There were over 700 rolls in stock at Unique Photo when I ordered my 100 rolls, but they are clearly sold out now. Me, 100 rolls is going to last me years and by then I'm sure I'll have a digital camera that meets my needs.

It's all been bought up by speculators here. Once all shop stock is gone you'll see it being dribbled out on the auction site at vastly inflated prices.

No, I don't think that's going to happen. It certainly didn't happen with Neopan 400 in 120 after it disappeared.
