Fuji 4x5 instant film will all be gone

[gevalia]

No, from a film lab in Japan (http://www.chromart.co.jp/). I'll update if I hear more.

PLEASE. If you don't, you should know better than to post rumors from film labs here. Get a verification from Fuji and then post it otherwise hold off because it's the usual scam to get us to run out and stock up.

I would also really like to know this directly from Fuji.

Doesn't mention peel aparts, but promising...

I saw that article too, Jon. However, my local store that sells film (as long with other photo equipment) currently has a 2 for 1 sale because the film is apparently discontinued. Also, none of the 4x5 instant films are listed on the fuji website anymore.

Fuji has always had lousy communications and marketing with Western photographers so I wouldn't bank on anything until it is unequivocal.

As of right now, the mother ship still shows 100C and 3000B in 4x5:

If it goes away in Japan, you'll first see a discontinuation notice like the red labels currently added to the 400B and 500B45 listings.

I translated that page. It was very interesting. the FP100C Silk is of particular note.

Also, Babelfish translates "Peel apart type" as "Peel Apartment Type (Exfoliation system)."

So *that's* the problem...

Impossible project is working on a 4x5 film.... though they don't currently make a peel apart type film so it could be quite different to work with.

They currently make "shake n bake" type films for SX70, 600 and spectra type Polaroid cameras. The film needs more care than the original Polaroid film e.g must be fully covered for the first few minutes after shooting but this is improving.

Fingers crossed.
