It's just not making money compared to their other businesses. Is it that hard to understand ? For Kodak, film is like 30% of their business because they are absolute retards luddites that missed out on digital meanwhile for Fuji it's less than 1% of their business. Fujifilm revenue is almost 20 times bigger than Kodak they simply give no fucks about film anymore crying about it won't change how the economy works. Your thread is useless

The price keeps going up without them producing anything :/

>meanwhile for Fuji it's less than 1% of their business.
Profit is profit, makes no sense to get rid of a profitable line rather than just increasing prices.

If people stop buying because of increased prices then yeah sure you shut it down at that point.

Yes anon you probably know better than the CEO of those companies

>implying most company CEOs aren't just nepo hires/promotions
>implying this isn't the case ESPECIALLY in Japanese companies
1% of total revenue wouldn't even be worth the extra logistics and tooling maintainence. If the margin was so wafer thin you bet your ass the moment enough critical machinery for film manufacturing goes haywire they'd just announce the halt of production for good.

Fooji keeps selling film party because they've got everything going already, and partly to keep their fucking namesake valid. Instax probably nets them 20x the revenue that 35/120mm film gets them.

Relevance?

Didn't claim I knew better, I was pointing out that it being a minor part of the business wasn't relevant to it shutting down or not.

If they don't want to make money off it then they should sell it to someone who will. If your supply is perpetually sold out for 11 months of the year then demand is obviously there.

I don't think it's this I just think the fuji nipboomers are retarded

velvia at $40: I will likely never buy except once every decade, maybe

velvia at :19.99: I will probably buy a dozen rolls per year

the relationship between price and demand isn't linear. Surely they would make more money selling far more than nearly nothing by reducing the price.

If I could get a brick of any film for free it would be some sort of fuji slide film. It's so great and even I as an autist won't buy it because it's not just expensive, it's so expensive that I would feel like a gypped retard if I bought it even though I can afford to waste $40.

At this point I'm hoping the lucky film people can figure out slide film. E100 doesn't look nearly as nice as velvia. Then again I doubt anything Lucky will make could hold a candle to Velvia, but you never know. Their 200 speed C41 film already looks like a standard consumer grade film.

Have you seen what CEOs are doing to companies in the last 20 years? A schizo homeless guy knows more about what regular consumers want than these CEOs.

Well great. What do I do now?

jfc filmtards are so oblivious that they think the world revolves around them. The consumer film industry for big corpa (not talking about boutique film shops) is just a leftover 'bonus' while serving the actual major consumers like motion picture, science research, and radiography. No, they're not going to sell their factories and tech because it's used for other shit like serving bigger industry customers. Your cringeass analog photography is just a bottom of the barrel left overs that they simply maintain due to heritage and to have a department to send their low performing employees so they can get them to quit than firing them

I've had four rolls of 120 Velvia 50 and a couple in 35 on back order for a year now in Australia. Ended up getting a mate to bring me some back from a holiday in Japan.
