Fujifilm previously announced in February that prices for film will go up around 30% April 1st in addition to continuing to discontinue film. Now DC. Watch has some additional news from Japan about a price increase June 1st of about 30%.
Translated release:
FUJIFILM Corporation announced on May 9 that the price of photographic film products in Japan will be revised from June 1. Although no specific price is specified, the revised price is expected to be raised by more than 30%.

Target products include reversal film “BELVIA 50” which has become a staple in landscape photography etc., color negative film “Fuji color SUPERIA PREMIUM 400”, and “filming simple lens with film with lens” etc. .
The target products for price revision are as follows. The numbers in parentheses are the size of the film.
