No!

Don't discontinue them yet, I haven't even yet gained enough experience to be using high end film!

Hmm, then why bother with a name change if it's the same film? Just leads to confusion doesnt it? It's been a while since i've kept up with all the name changes with all the various films. I can understand if its a new formula or something but not if its just repackaging

as far as I know, 160s will become 160ns, and 160c will become 160nc

these have been the names of these films in japan for a while now, so I'd imagine they're just bringing the rest of the world up to speed.

It seems like enough people complained about them getting rid of 800z that Fuji did change their minds and are not getting rid of it after all :^) Their 160 films are going to now become 160ns. Supposedly it's the same film so I don't understand how 160s and c can be "combined" into one film?

Fuji also said they are not going to kill any of their instant films. YES!

OK so this came up in another thread and I wanted to know if anyone else has heard any confirmation on which films are really dying and which are just being repackaged? Any of you retail guys confirm these film deaths? I know the rumors have been floating around for a few months now. According to film boy Chris Lange they are just repackaging from single to multi-rolls?

Fuji made an announcement that 800Z was dead last year but apparently changed their minds(?) to keep it but now they are apparently killing it? The T64 and 160s and c are going to be killed off this year too. I've heard about a new 160 but don't know what to believe now. Any of you that work in camera stores confirm this list please
