13x18 cm sheet color film negative in Europe

[Edwin Lachica]

Sorry missed the color part of your first post.

Checked with my other suppliers too, no stock of anything bigger than 4x5.

You can check with photostudio13.ch if they have any 13x18 porta in stock. That's where most pros go for kodak stuff.

As for fuji, it's not even listed in their website for switzerland.

Hello, I also would like to find color negative in 5x7" size. Usually, I used Kodak 160 NC with pleasure bur can't buy 80 boxes alone !
If only a european shop accept to buy the minimum order to Kodak..., I hope that if this shop would accept to take orders before buying to kodak, it wouldn't be long before the minimum order is reached !
For exemple, I would be interested by 5 boxes, only 75 other boxes to order ?...

Are you sure that 13x18cm is exactly the same size as 5x7".
I know there is a difference between 9x12cm and 4x5", in term of film holder(4x5" do not fit in 9x12cm film holder).
By the way your English is perfect.

Are you sure that 13x18cm is exactly the same size as 5x7".
I am sure that 13x18 is not exactly the same size as 5x7" !! Too bad for this format !
True 5x7" is slightly smaller than 13x18 cm by a few millimetres.
However, it has been reported on the French LF forum that traditional 13x18 LInhof holders with their pressure plate can accommodate a 5"x7" sheet without much trouble since the film is pressed against something.
As far as I've read, a classical 13x18 Fidelity® holder will let the 5"x7" drop off and a 5"x7" holder will not let a 13x18 sheet slide in.
Formally speaking, Euro-Patriots should insist on the proven superiority of the 13x18 format over the 5"x7" , but I'm afraid that if a common cause would force us to save only one of the formats, and if 5x7" is the most widely used... we are ready to switch to the 13x18 Linhof holder with pressure plate

By the way I am looking for 13x18cm since my film holders are 13x18cm.

These are the film that Fuji still manufactures as per there web site
http://fujifilm.com/products/profess.../pro_160s.html

4 x 5 in. (10.2 x 12.7 cm) .... 10 sheets and 50 sheets
4 x 5 in. (10.2 x 12.7 cm) QL .... 20sheets
8 x 10 in. (20.3 x 25.4 cm) .... 10 sheets
9 x 12 cm .... 20 sheets
13 x 18 cm .... 20 sheets

That's all folks.

Interesting but I took a quick look at their website and didn't see a listing for 160NC in 13x18 .... I might have missed it.

[Ole Tjugen]

Ted, Ars-imago are not listing it at present, but have very kindly offered to get some from Fuji.

[TML74]

I have sent a mail to Ars Imago to see if I can have some boxes of 160S, I am waiting for the answer and the price... I will let you know.
I am also surprised to see that a solution could be at a few km from my home !
