(Digital Photography Review)

Fujifilm Japan has issued an advisory (Japanese) warning customers that counterfeit 35mm film featuring the `Fujifilm´ brand has been found on the market. The fraudulent products were discovered when a customer took the counterfeit film to a photo developer in Japan, according to a statement from the company. Fujifilm warns the counterfeit 35mm film products are packed with `movie film´ that can´t be developed using CN-16 and C-41 processes; attempting to develop these products may contaminate the developer, putting other customers´ film at risk. Shops that attempt to develop this counterfeit film are advised to change the developer solution and clean the machine. It´s unclear how widely the counterfeit film products have been distributed. Fujifilm provides three sample images featuring the non-genuine `Fujifilm´ film. In addition to the 250D roll featured in the advisory, Fujifilm says there may be other counterfeit products including 250T and 64D.
