Thread: Where to buy 4x5 film in Southern CA?

  1. #1

    Where to buy 4x5 film in Southern CA?

    Greetings,
    Friend of mine is loaning me his 4x5 for a trip to Yosemite. I have casually shot 120, but no experience with 4x5. I need a local source for film quiclkly (in stock) to avoid large shipping fee. Any ideas? Paul's in Torrance has some expired.

    Anywhere between San Clemente and Torrance is ideal. Any advice?

    I am hoping to get some Velvia maybe a Kodak line, maybe IR? I know Kodak two brands are Efke and Rollei.

    Thanks in advance.

    David

    All the above, and probably more.
    When I grow up, I want to be a photographer.

    Calumet has an office in Irvine. That is between "here and there". You might do OK there, but you might also get a better selection if you venture north to Hollywood an visit Freestyle.

    Samy's. If you ask for a discount, they will usually give it to you. Just tell them a friend always gets a discount and told me to ask for one. Usually works.

    Just in case you run out of film on your trip---4x5 is also available at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Valley---call ahead to see whats in stock.
    Horn's in Fresno, along the way(about a nano-second off of FWY 41) also stocks 4x5.
