Fujifilm is planning to discontinue a variety of film packages next year - Photo Rumors
Fujifilm may be striking gold with their Instax series, but not everything in their film offerings is doing as well. This is not the first time Fujifilm has announced discontinuations of film stocks and it should not come as a surprise if they announce more discontinuations at a later date. Regardless, this round of casualties includes Fujicolor Superia X-Tra 400, Fujichrome Velvia 50 and 100 and Fujichrome Provia 100F in March of 2018 and Fujicolor Natura 1600, Fujicolor 1600 Single Use, Neopan 100 Acros 4 x 5 and Neopan 100 Acros 8 x 10 in May 2018. It's hard to predict which films will be the next to die, but it seems like a foregone conclusion that soon enough the only "film" from Fujifilm will come in the form of Instax cameras and accessories.

Relative newcomer to the lens game, Irix, has been making a lot of splashes lately with their 11mm f/4 and 15mm f/2.4 lenses.
