Fuji is reintroducing Velvia 50 and introducing Provia 400X. They are supposedly handing out free rolls of film. I was kind of surprised by the Velvia 50 reintro. The add stated it was back by popular demand. I remember an earlier thread on the LUG where someone stated the Fuji CEO was very pro film; so is this really "back by popular demand" or wishful thinking? Either way, I am going to try and get some free 400X since the store next door to Ivey sells it for about 11$/roll.
