Shanghai film formats

[Domingo A. Siliceo]

In a recent message (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?116880-October-2014-Portraits&p=1177272&viewfull=1#post1177272) I was told Shanghai film is fabricated in 4x5, 5x7, 8x10, 4x10 and 11x14 sizes, but looking at the Shanghai ShenBei Co., LTD factory site (http://www.smpicgg.com/en/products.php?class_id=166) only the 120 and the 4x5 formats are listed.

Does somebody knows where can I find information about the other sheet sizes?

Thanks.

[Tim Meisburger]

Its for sale in China on their local equivalent of ebay, Taobao. 5x7 is available occasionally on ebay, but in general you can only get the other sizes in China.

[Domingo A. Siliceo]

Thanks Tim.

I checked my normal eBay vendor Isaac Chen in Taiwan and they had no Shanghai sheet film listed at all.

Does anyone know what is going on with that?

I just sent them a note via eBay asking about this.

I also tried www.Taobao.com but could not find any 4x5 Shanghai film.

Try contacting Vishal Soniji at sales@camerafilmphoto.com. He supplied me with 5x7 Shanghai a few months back.

There is both 4x5 and 5x7 available on ebay now:

That is interesting. 4x5 film is on the Australian version of eBay but not on the USA version.

I just sent an email to Isaac Chen asking why.

Thank you for letting me know.

[Tim Meisburger]

Doesn't matter which version of ebay its listed on, as the shipping cost will be the same. He ships from Taiwan, I think.

Does anyone have a link to 8x10 Shanghai film for sale? Also would anyone have any examples in 8x10 format? I'm curious...I wasn't aware that shanghai made any film besides 120

[Domingo A. Siliceo]

Here are two quick links to a couple of images: link one (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?116880-October-2014-Portraits&p=1177115&viewfull=1#post1177115), link two (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?116880-October-2014-Portraits&p=1177272&viewfull=1#post1177272).

Domingo - Thanks! But wait are both those links supposed to be referring to the same image? Or am I missing an example?

[StoneNYC]

What about 11x14? I've seen others comment that it's super cheap like $100 a box, anyone know where it's sold? I don't see any on eBay.

I believe it does matter. If y'all had not shown me the Oz link, I never would have known about it.

[Domingo A. Siliceo]

Not exactly the same image: the first of them is exposed using a Dallmeyer 3B and the second an Heliar.


Domingo - Thanks! But wait are both those links supposed to be referring to the same image? Or am I missing an example?

[Domingo A. Siliceo]

Yes: I'm also interested to see a link to a place where one could buy a box of 4x10 or 11x14.

I'm kind of confused. When I click on those ebay links I can see the Shanghai film but when I click on the sellers store to try and see more products I don't see the film in their store from the original link...Is anyone else noticing that?

Yes.
It's what ebay's new 'feature' is - previously, you could see stuff listed on other ebay sites on eBay.com.
Now it's exclusive only to US-listed products.(or.Com listedproducts) no UK, ca, Germany, au.

I'm not sure why eBay removed such an obviously useful feature - and not even ask for feedback about it.

[Tim Meisburger]

That's strange. I get all ebay countries here. An alternative might be to just search the country site.

[analoguey]

On the. Com version, Tim?

[Tim Meisburger]

Yes. Search "Shanghai 4x5 film" in the "Cameras and Photo" sub-menu, and the third result I get is "AU - 25 Sheets Shanghai 4x5 B&W Black & White Film ISO 100 (Exp. 2015 or later)" and the fourth is on Italian e-bay.

I knew someone might start a group buying shanghai films recently. You could book most another common ULF sizes, such as 4x10,11x14, 14x17, 8x20, 12x20, etc.
However, there's a minimum quantity number demand. For instance, I bought 2 boxes 8x20 with other people together earlier this year.

[WayneStevenson]

8x10 is currently listed on eBay right now.

[rjmeyer314]

Several years ago I brought a box of Shanghai 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 (full plate) film on Ebay.

[axs810]

Have any example photos taken rymeyer314? :) Would love to see some more LF shanghai examples

[analoguey]

Yes. Search "Shanghai 4x5 film" in the "Cameras and Photo" sub-menu, and the third result I get is "AU - 25 Sheets Shanghai 4x5 B&W Black & White Film ISO 100 (Exp. 2015 or later)" and the fourth is on Italian e-bay.

Okay, i'll check again when I'm on the PC - the mobile app still throws up international results, so searching there isnt much of an issue.

I used to see German, uk, Aus etc before dont see any more.
