USA source for Fuji 4x5 BW instant films?

[Kurt Eichenberger]

I have heard a rumour that Fuji instant 4x5 BW film would be available in the USA in March. Anyone know if this is true, and if so where would I go to buy it. Thanks.

When it is available, it will be at the normal mail order places.

Probably not til April according to my source at fuji. Do a search here for other threads on the subject. Only the 100 speed b+w in 4x5 will be available even though fuji makes several others.

Vinny, what a pity, I like the 3000 ASA film quite a bit.

Do you know if this B&W instant film is available anywhere in the world outside of Japan?

Thanks,

Kurt

I like that film in the small size too. Fun to play with but not at the above prices.

Check with Jeff at Badger Graphic Sales.

Peter,

I tried Jeff at Badger, no luck.

There not here yet. I think the b/w 100 speed will be here soon. Depends on when the boat docks and film goes thru customs and gets into the distribution system. It is for sure coming, AFAIK. Film is shipped by boat. It takes some time.

Checking in for an update--any sightings of the 4x5 B&W yet?

I'm just getting back into large format and would prefer to get the appropriate back for this right away vs. getting the smaller version and then upgrading in a few weeks...

Does anyone have any clue about pricing--for example, how much more in the full 4x5 in Japan vs. the smaller size?
