Yes, the factory is moved and hasn't resume production. However, another film maker Lucky film has just finished a small batch, in 4x5, 810 and even 11x14. The issue for overseas users is how to get the film shipped without worrying about XRAY.

I don't think they x-ray packages of film, as I used to have Shanghai film shipped often. Can you tell me who in China sells Lucky sheet film? Many years ago I used to shoot Lucky in color 35mm, and I'd like to try some in 4x5 (I assume its black and white film?).
What was done before?Originally Posted by Max Hao
what were the good things about that film?
It was a very capable film IMO, at least their GP3:
Hmm... I still have 5 boxes left from last year / 2 years ago. Shooting all Portra 160 nowadays though.
Is this batch available on Tao Bao?
Yesterday I developed the last two sheet of Shanghai GP3 I own. I shoted them at my wife in her bride dress after 10 years of marryage (8th july) and developed them in Rodinal 1+50 for 12' (rotational process). It's a pity that this film is no more produced. It's a cheap but decent film.
I'm sorry I don't have a suitable scanner for 4X5 so I cannot show any pictures until I will print on paper. At seight, they seems to be good negatives.
I have mobile phone number of the sales representative of the company. They have never shipped overseas. But they have someone visiting Thailand this Friday. I'll check if they can speak English. They could carry a few boxes but I don't know whether they could successfully request hand check.
No one in the company speaks English. The person visiting Thailand is going to Ko Phuket only. Let me know how to go next steps if you are interested in getting some.
