Fujifilm has announced a worldwide price revision of their photographic film and photographic paper.
The minimum increase for photographic film is expected to be 30%, while photographic paper is predicted to have at least a double-figure increase. The changes will be effective from 1 April 2019.
Rising costs in the creation of films and papers
Fujifilm have cited the rising cost of raw materials and logistics as the main cause of the increases.
"In the past Fujifilm has absorbed some of the costs by undertaking intensive structural reforms and communalisation of production facilities, but as a responsible manufacturing company and to provide the high-quality products our customers expect, the company will institute a price increase."
The exact products affected, timings and percentage increase could all vary depending on the market and different regions, too.
There are currently still 6 types of film that can be purchased from Fujifilm - they last announced discontinuations back in 2013 when 4 films were axed.
