More Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 Photos and New Lens Colors Displayed

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 9, 2021

Viltrox certainly makes some interesting decisions and I would argue that they currently have the best affordable AF lineup for Fujifilm cameras. Viltrox has a solid lineup, but most of its lenses are very similar to currently available Fujinon lenses with the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 being the first Viltrox lens to really stand alone. The Fujinon XF14mm f/2.8 has a smaller aperture than the Viltrox and the Fujinon XF16mm f/1.4 is 3mm tighter than the Viltrox which is amplified by the 1.5x crop factor.

First Viltrox XF 13mm f/1.4 Images Posted to Weibo

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 7, 2021

There is a photography convention in China happening today and Viltrox posted some images of it that include our first look of the Viltrox XF 13mm f/1.4. You can see the original post here. The 13mm should be a very interesting lens for Astrophotography and it might convince me to pick up a full set of Viltrox autofocus lenses.

Fujichrome VELVIA 100 Discontinued Today and Banned For Sale in The US Starting September 5, 2021

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 6, 2021

The Phoblographer spotted the announcement that Fujichrome VELVIA 100 is being discontinued IMMEDIATELY in the United States. You can still pick some up on Amazon but the prices are starting to skyrocket. Fujifilm could have continued selling the film until September 5th, but they decided to just discontinue distribution.

On March 8, 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule regarding the chemical phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1) (PIP (3:1)) (CASRN 68937-41-7) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which prohibited the processing and distribution in commerce, including sales, of the chemical and products containing the chemical. EPA also issued an enforcement policy on the same day stating that it will not enforce the ban on processing and distribution until September 5, 2021.
A miniscule amount (less than 0.0003%) of PIP (3:1) is present within the layers of FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional films. Fujifilm believes that the trace amount of PIP (3:1) in the FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional films pose no risk to the environment.
As a global leader in imaging, Fujifilm is committed to acting sustainably, and complying with all country regulations. As such, Fujifilm will discontinue FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional film in the U.S. effective immediately (July 6, 2021).
If you’ve purchased FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional films please read the accompanying Safety Data Sheet carefully.

Honestly, I am a little surprised with Fujifilm because I would think would take advantage of the September enforcement date instead of leaving their fans in a lurch. I am also surprised this didn’t become an issue in Europe or California first since they tend to have some of the most extreme regulatory systems, but here we are… Since the US is banning Phenol, Isopropylated Phosphate the rest of the world can’t be too far behind, so even if you are overseas it might be a good idea to pick some Fujichrome VELVIA 100 before it is too late. Film is becoming a rare commodity with some rolls going for hundreds of dollars even well after they have expired.
