Is there an instant film for 4x5 that uses the whole frame and is currently in production (so I do not have to buy expired film)?
I do realize that there is a planned Instax Wide film adapter, but that does not use the whole frame and it won't be ready until next year.
I am sorry if this is not the right subforum, but I could not find anything more specific.
Nope. The 4x5 version of Fuji packfilm FP100B45, FP100C45) has not been in production for approx. 10 years.
Thanks, too bad though. I bet there would be a market for it.Quote:

Famous Format had a sale last month - according to my email conversations with Sam Hiser the goal was to increase sales so that they could order material in larger quantities and increase production which might lower prices - just have to wait and see if his plan works
but, if no one buys it, it will go away, so I hope he is successful
Dann: I'm in for the Instax Wide. At $130 and relatively cheap film... it will do the trick for my needs. Good luck!
Even the original Polaroid 4x5 pack film wasn't a full 4x5 image. The Fuji 100 series was even smaller than that. I'm shooting a pack of 20 year expired 559 now. I'm impressed that it works as well as it does, but it's definitely on it's last legs.Quote:
