Press Release: Fujifilm Velvia 50

With its ultra high saturation, extremely fine grain and intensely vivid colours, Velvia 50 has been a favourite of photographers for many years.

Due to the unavailability of vital raw materials, Fujifilm were forced to halt production of the emulsion in 2005. Since then, the research and development teams at Fujifilm in Japan have been working hard to develop substitute raw materials and new manufacturing technologies that have made it possible to restart the production of this famous transparency film.

The characteristics of the new Velvia 50 will mirror that of the previous product. The new Velvia 50 is available from June 2007 in the following formats: 35mm, 120, 220, 4" x 5" sheet, 4" x 5" Quickload and 8" x 10" sheet.

I just pray it really does mirror the previous Velvia 50 the other Velvia emulsions fell quite a way short of the mark.

Thats the best news I have had for ages. Someone has finally realised that there are customers out there using other than digital.
Well done Fuji.

I wonder how much it will cost after all the extra research which has gone into this. I'm stocking up on the last few Velvia 50 films available from 7-day shop at £1.99 for 35mm.
