Fujifilm to Bring Back Color Film Production in China

Fujifilm is said to resume negative color film production in Nanning, China.

The first films to go in production will be the Fujifilm C200 and Fujifilm C400 and made by Yes!Star, which is known for making medical film.

The news has been shared first on Chinese social media Xiaohongshu and also reported at kosmofoto.

Now, it’s nothing new that Fujifilm delegates the manufacturing of its film to other brands. The “new” Fujifilm 400 (made in USA) is also made by Kodak. Although in this case it looks like it’s more just a rebranded Kodak Ultramax 400.

I am not sure if all these moves by Fujifilm contribute to the health of film photography (delegate other companies to make film Fujifilm does not want to do anymore), or if they are just a way for Fujifilm to make a quick buck out of selling their iconic film stock brand names to third parties.

Fujifilm Says Firmware Autofocus Bug Fix and Reala Ace are Coming End of June

Fujifilm USA manager Victor Ha was a guest at the latest Adorama live show.

When asked about the autofocus bug fix on a few Fujifilm cameras, the manager says first of all thanks to the Fujifilm community for reporting about it, but especially he says there will be a firmware fix coming on the end of June.

Also, the Fujifilm X-T5 & Co will finally get Reala Ace film simulation with this update on the end of June.

That’s in contrast to what Fujifilm China said, who announced the Reala Ace firmware coming in August.
