I agree with the sentiment, but at the same time who else will I buy color film from? Fuji is practically dropping every stock they can, so the boycott is a hard thing to actually do as a color shooter. I do think they would have gotten a lot of support if they’d just left them up though, it’s not an easy spot to be in as someone who doesn’t really shoot b/w.

I agree completely with you - I don't really shoot B/W and since Fuji dropped Pro 400H i don't have any Portra alternatives. There is still Superia and C200 - which happens to be one of my favorites at least.

Well, if you can you can always opt for Lomo CN line! You get a quality that's between the professional and consumer line with the price of the last one and a wide choice of ISO

After an experience using Lomo's 120 rolls and their god awfully notorious fat rolls causing light leaks I swore to never buy those again, at least for MF.

That's strange, i never had an issue with Lomo rolls and i shoot both 35 and 120, maybe results may vary depending on the loading mechanism of the camera. I use an old Flexaret TLR that maybe has a little bit more retention for rolls

Really? I’ve only had great results with Lomo film in my mf systems.

Always store 120 rolls in darkness haha. I just toss 'em in my bag and put them in a dark drawer at home until I'm ready to develop.
