4x5 Holder for Fuji FP-100c or FP-3000B?
Just purchased my first 4x5 camera (thank you George), so I'm a complete newbie at LF.
I wanted to try my new camera with some instant film to get a feel for what I am doing (wrong), and get immediate feedback.
Is there a 4x5 holder made for either of the available Fuji FP-100c or FP-3000B instant films? Camera is a Shen Hao.

Yes, but it's an awful lot of money for a piece of plastic: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...older_for.html

Thanks, I had just hunted it down myself on B&H. Ouch on the price.
Can anyone comment on use of this holder, some newbie instructions?
Is it a darkroom procedure to load the film?
Thanks

Search uTube for:
"How to load Fuji FP-100C45 instant pack film"
The video is good and set to nice music.
Note: it is very easy to load, is done in daylight. Nothing goes between the rollers (typical newbie mistake - from experience). At the end of the video you can see the dark cover paper is pulled, at that point it's locked N loaded.
Results are outstanding.
Have Fun,
Tim

B&H has a PA-45 for sale.
But the film I am looking at
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...ant_Color.html
says it is compatible with a PA-145.
Anyone know a source for the PA-145?
Re: 4x5 Holder for Fuji FP-100c or FP-3000B?
You can look for a Polaroid 405 film holder (I think that is the number) You can probably find a used 405 holder easier than the Fuji version and both work equally well.

Buy the smaller PA-145 or 405 holder. The 4x5 instant films are on their way out.

OK, so it's the PA-145 or 405 I want. Now to find one!

Is the 4x5 instant film gone everywhere, or just the US?
Re: 4x5 Holder for Fuji FP-100c or FP-3000B?
My local lab sells it and has a ton of FP-100c. No 3000b though. But I've got a local source of 3000b. Not sure how much he has of it, I bought three boxes recently.
