Fuji Velvia 50 to be reintroduced!!
http://fujifilm.jp/information/20061020/index.html (Japanese language)
It looks like a new version of Fuji Velvia will be introduced sometime next year. This is welcome news for many landscape and nature photographers.
A rough translation of the above page:'...Because of difficulty obtaining some of the raw material, we terminated production of Velvia 50 at the end of last year and have shipped all stock on hand.
But, considering the importance of our duty to our photofans and their long patronage whose demand for Velvia continues to be strong and to protect photograph culture, we have examined the possibility of the resumption of production from various angles. As a result, production of a Velvia II (the tentative name) with almost all of the qualities of the original has been made possible with the creation of an alternative raw material and conversion to new production techniques. Availability is planned for Spring of 2007. We will advise as to prices and product details.' |
