Yes!Star S1 Camera to be Launched July 1 with Yes!Star 400 Film (Rebranded Fujifilm C400)
Things are happening quite fast now.
Just a few days ago, we reported that Fujifilm has relocated the production of Fujifilm C200 and Fujifilm C400 film to China. The production will be handled by Yes!Star, a company known for its work in medical film production.
Well, the first results of this cooperation will be seen on July 1. In fact, Yes!Star just announced that they will launch a new film camera on July 1.
The theme of the event on July 1 will be “the birth of the new film era“.
In the teaser above you can see an image of the camera and also the “new” Yes!Star 400 film, which is very likely just a rebranded Fujifilm C400.
I guess this is overall a good news for film photographers, as the other option would be for Fujifilm to simply discontinue the film. Seen from this perspective, it’s great to see other companies willing to step in and take over production of film stock that would otherwise disappear.
Just be informed: if you are looking for Fujifilm C400 film, be aware that it is now called Yes!Star 400.
