Last week, Fujifilm Japan announced a price increase on selected film products that would increase the cost from between 21 to 52%, sparking concern in the film community over a price hike. However, Fujifilm North America said that the announcement applies only to Japan and that prices aren’t changing in other regions at this time.
Fujifilm Japan announced last week that prices for 135 color negative film and 135 and 120 reversal film, as well as 135-type disposable cameras, would be increasing. The company cited the rising cost of materials and transportation as the reason behind the change.
