    4x5 Fuji Acros no longer sold in the US? (UPDATE: False alarm from Freestyle)

    According to Freestyle in their trendy but unprofessional post state that Acros will no longer be available in the USA from Fuji. Has anyone else heard this? Thought anyone else that shoots/shot this would find it of use. Sad to see it go, I hope the Chromes have a long life still!

    Re: 4x5 Fuji Acros out of production or no longer sold in the US?

    I've found that in many cases Freestyle doesn't know their head from their ass on product availability. B&H shows it has it in stock and is ready to ship.

    I too have found that, and with all their bashing will be looking for someone else to buy chemicals from. I also saw BH had them in stock (where I generally buy film from as shipping from freestyle is too high especially with film Beijing higher too) but that does not mean future availability is there.

    I've not found anything on Fuji's main site though.

    Fuji USA site now lists the film as available on 35mm and 120, 4x5 has been removed: http://www.fujifilmusa.com/products/...ite/100_acros/

    Yes sir, and your services are great sir. It just seems if a film is pulled out its one step closer to death

    Sounds like they've done a Velvia50 to it. Not totally surprising given how much cheaper sheet Acros is direct from Japan - suspect the USA stock had become extremely slow moving. Anyway, didn't it only start appearing in retail outside of Japan because people were buying it direct via the web?

    I'll also be including 4x5 Acros100 in my group buys with the 8x10 stuff and Velvia50 so if this is true, then I'll make sure to add that to the list!

    I always buy from B&H because of the cheaper prices and free shipping, unless I can't get it then I go to Freestyle like for the chemistry.

    Anyway it's in stock

    FWIW, Fuji Japan still shows it as current product, in both 4x5 and 8x10 sizes:

    That's what I was looking at last night too and figured it was Fuji USA just not importing it anymore. Doesn't stop the "Fuji-not-film" bs all over though.
