Default Tungsten balanced films

Are these completely dead now ? Bought a pack of fuji64t 120 last year and cant see it sold anywhere now, even the fuji shop has none.
Anyone know the situation ?

I see 120 Fuji 64T is still available at BH Photo and Calumet here in NY. Doing a quick internet search also shows the Lomography shop selling it.

Not sure if these films are dead just yet but I know Kodak very recently killed off Ektachrome 64T [EPY]. I had seen some really nice and interesting results when it was cross-processed and had been looking forward to giving that a try. Oh well...

Bronnie I did a quick check of my list of stockists here in the U.K. and there's no sign of any tungsten balanced film anywhere I can see. Mark-NY mentions Calumet in the U.S. so it might be worth a check with calumet in the U.K.

A note to the Fujifilm rep who has posted here might be worthwhile if he doesn't spot this thread and replies here on FADU.

I don't use it but I hope you can find some. I get depressed at the thought of yet another film being discontinued if that is the case. Let's hope not

Silverprint have EPY on their website but I don't know what the stock situation is. As Mark says above, Kodak have recently killed it off so if they have any in stock, buy it while you can!

I'm sure I read somewhere that Fuji killed off 64T in the UK some time last year. I'll see if I can find the link (or it may have been a magazine article).

I had forgotten about RK but when I looked there was no sign of it there.

There is lots of film on e-bay, not always cheap or in date but it may be a possibility
