Fujifilm is Putting an End to Its FP-100C Peel-Apart Instant Film
Fujifilm’s Instax brand of instant film has seen a boom in popularity in recent years — it was the #1 selling product in Amazon’s “Camera” category last Christmas season.
Sadly, the same can’t be said about the FP-100C, Fuji’s last line of peel-apart instant film. Today, the Japanese company announced that it will be discontinuing the FP-100C lineup, marking the end of Fuji’s peel-apart-type film.
FP-100C can be used in any instant camera with an image size of 3.25×4.25 inches. “Its fine grain and rich tonal gradation make it ideal for passport photos, commercial test shots, presentations, ID photos, and direct printing,” Fujifilm says on its website.

If you’re a fan of shooting with FP-100C film and would like to continue doing so after this year, you might want to think about stockpiling it before it’s gone forever.
Update on 3/2/16: Here’s a statement provided to us by Fujifilm USA: “As you may have heard, Fujifilm has finalized its production of FP-100C Color Instant Film. While this was a difficult decision, it was necessary in order to remain sustainable in today’s market. Going forward, the supply of FP-100C will be available until the inventory is exhausted.”
