   Fuji bring back Superia X-tra 400 😢 I have only 3 left in the freezer, and ebay is not looking promising anymore.

     @Gargron it's heartbreaking how uncommitted they seem to be. i have a couple rolls of xtra left and some v50 in 120 i'm keeping so preciously for the right occasion 😭

     @Gargron Maybe if you buy them an IRM they will offer some rolls with it :/

     @Gargron ... I've looked for a possible replacement in comparison reviews and came across this...

     https://shootitwithfilm.com/fuji-superia-400-vs-kodak-ultramax-400/

     That led me to look at what the 'new' Fuji 400 could be, and found this...

     I get the feeling that Fuji's new 400 could be far different in formula to the old Superia line. If it's actually about scarcity or cost of chemicals to keep making Superia, then perhaps it won't be brought back... just replaced by rebranded Gold or UltraMax.
