Would you like Freestyle 120/220 Legacy Pro and Premium films....

Don't want to rain on anyones parade, but surely the recent discontinuation of Neopan 400 in 120 would mean that Legacy Pro 400 in 120 would be impossible?

Nevertheless, I still wouldn't mind having Arista Premium 400 in 120. Consider an email sent!

"neopan 400 120 is widely available in North America and will continue to be"

straight from Fujifilm Canada.

gleaned from APUG

I queried Fuji directly, and received the folllowing response...

"Thank you for contacting Fujifilm, USA's Contact Center. Please allow us
to assist you.

At this time, we do not have plans to discontinue the Neopan 400
professional black and white film in the 120 format.

We sincerely hope this information has been beneficial to you. If you
should have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact us again. It would be our pleasure to assist you.

This post says otherwise.

I'm just so confused as to why Fujifilm is being so coy on the situation - why not release a worldwide press release to clarify whether or not certain films are being discontinued?

Done.

I ordered Neopan 400 from them yesterday because I noticed the item came back in stock on their website. The order has been shipped but only 7 of 20 rolls I ordered are shipped. 13 is backordered. I need more!

Extremely quick response came from Marv @ freestyle 🙁


It does not look as if the 120 size will be available in the Legacy Pro
or the Arista Premium

Good thread, thanks for starting it. I have sent my email too.

Did you see this link? http://www.photographyblog.com/news/fujifilm_retires_three_films/

Seems to imply that there's some sort of environmental concern about Neopan 120. I wonder if that will extend to Neopan 135 as well.
