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
