Fuji
Fujifilm stopped production of all motion picture film stocks on March 31, 2013.[11] For negative stocks, "85" prefix designates 35 mm, "86" prefix designates 16 mm stock. Stock numbers ending in a "2" are Fuji's Super-F emulsions (1990s) and the stocks ending in "3" are the new Eterna emulsions.[12]
Also, Eterna Vivid series negatives' last second suffix as "4", and the ending suffix as different "E.I.".
For intermediate stocks, as negatives', adding "45" prefix designates 35 mm in polyester (PET) base, and "87" prefix designates 65/70 mm.
For positive and print stocks, "35" indicates 35 mm print film, and "36" indicates 16 mm print film.
Fuji also introduced their Reala film, a color stock with a fourth color emulsion layer, which is also the fastest daylight balanced color motion picture stock ever offered at 500 ISO.
As of March 2013, Fuji had ceased production of all motion picture film.[13]
