Fuji 4x5 instant film will all be gone

[Jan Normandale]

I believe that there is a lot of FP-100C45 still in stock at Fuji, and plenty at retailers in the USA at least......
*We use up to 30, or sometimes more, sheets a day - we aren't hoarding it.

OT, Helen what drives your use of 30 sheets or more of Fuji instant daily? Police work? I have heard they must have 'uncopyable' and 'unphotoshopable' photographs for their evidence.

Jan,

Nothing as exciting as that. We use instant film for proofing product shots before taking the picture with Ektachrome 100G. Mostly for composition and lighting, then using the instant print for laying out the page. It works out at something like 3 test shots per image for straightforward shots (about 10 per day) or more test shots per image for a more complex shot - but fewer of those per day, maybe three.

Best,
Helen

WOW, I didn't know anyone was lucky enough to still be working like in the good old days. Lucky you are, Helen!

Hey now, there ARE more of us. I too use Instant film to proof for final shooting on Transparency film, although I use 4x5 Provia, not E100G. I use maybe 50 sheets of Instant film a month.

WOW! You all must have a really huge stock of instant film! Poor me.
