Just got word that FP-100C45 and FP-3000B45 will both be discontinued come October. Grab 'em while you can.

So you got word directly from Fuji that both films will be discontinued?
No, from a film lab in Japan (http://www.chromart.co.jp/). I'll update if I hear more.
Thanks. It wouldn't surprise me, but second-hand sources are always suspect. It would be a shame to see the last of the large format instant films disappear.
While it wouldn't suprise me in the least, labs just aren't reliable sources of info. Especially since they have little or nothing to do with the product in question.
Without a better source than a lab I think your thread title is very misleading.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
If Fuji do stop making instant 4x5 pack film it would probably mean that we go fully digital for our commercial work - we couldn't work without a preview image for approval. We have about 50 packs in the fridge, but that will only delay the inevitable. Of course that has a knock-on effect on film sales and on labs.
Best,

While it is a compromise, you could still use the 3.25 x 4.25 Instant Film with 4x5 cameras, there is a much larger user base for that film so it makes sense they would continue to make that longer.
Well this sucks. I just found an old Japanese guy who sells the 4x5 size in his store no more than 100 yards away from my home and this has to happen.
