Fuji PA45 holder

[kevs-2323668]

Badger has it new for $200--if anyone sees any bargains out there, please let me know. thanks!

now isn't a good time to buy one of these. Fuji has dropped the stuff in the usa. Read the instant film thread. That said, they come up used here lately for about half that.

Vinny, I found the thread, actually I was advised to buy the
3.25 x 4.25 size anyhow -- which is much cheaper and give you a basic idea of whats happening. No client -- this is all self generated fine are I'm doing. this is still going to be made correct?

the little pa-145's aren't that common in the u.s. Look for a polaroid 405 instead. the medium format instant has more of a demand as of now, for passports, etc. so hopefully fuji doesn't pull it.

You can buy the PA-145 holders from Japan Exposures or if you can read Japanese, Yodobashi. (Yodobashi, PA-145)

Otherwise there might be something in someone's store, but they don't pop up that often.

I think also there is a old Polaroid holder that will work with the Fuji instant pack film too?
I don't think that site, sells anything does it?

[Robert Ley]

Vinny had it exactly correct in that you can use the Polaroid 405 holder. I have one and it works very well. Here is one on Ebay as I write http://www.ebay.com/itm/POLAROID-405...item3f132c931e

Anymore questions?

Thanks, thinking of using the smaller size film, any opinions on that?

[vinny]

it's small, too small to be much use to me. Learn how to use a spot meter instead.

Unless you are using the Fujiroid as a final image or are doing image transfer, your money would be better spent on a good meter and learning to use it properly. If you are just interested in a preview image, many use a digital P&S. I will occasionally use my Canon G9 for that purpose and it works quite well but i would never use it to determine my exposure.
