Fuji Acros Available in 4x5 Sheets (Non-Quickload) Next Month

[Eric Leppanen]

I just happened to notice this, and did not see any references on this forum....Fuji Japan has agreed to distribute 4x5 Acros in 10-sheet boxes (non-Quickload) in the United States, starting next month. Fuji USA initially requested 20 sheet boxes (which are currently being sold in Japan), but Fuji Japan concluded that the 10 sheet box was more economical (USA demand is expected to be modest, and apparently Fuji has a lot of 10 sheet box inventory due to declines in E-6 film sales). Fuji does claim that the per-sheet cost of the 10 sheet box will be no higher than that of the 20.

Also, Fuji FP100B 4x5/10 sheet packs will be available in the USA as of May 10th.

badger has it in 20 sheet boxes right now, at least this morning they did. It didn't have the usual "out of stock" next to it.

Badger is a direct importer. They do not go through the USA Fuji distributor, hence are not limited to what Fuji "Officially" imports into the USA.

Yeah I had read on another forum that they expected the film to be 10 packs, available in May(ish?). I can't wait - I'm sure it will still be expensive (as Acros seems to be no matter the format) but I can't wait to get some.

Acros in 120 is one of the cheapest quality films you can find.

Well folks, thanks for the tip!
I hope that some of the film will make it north to Canada!

True - but I find it a little more expensive in 35 mm, and of course in 4x5 sheets. I did check Freestyle yesterday and noticed really how cheap Acros was in 120, esp when compared to 35mm.

So far I've only exposed/developed one roll and really loved the results and cant wait to use the rolls I have in the fridge. I am definitely ordering more soon.

Can someone please tell me what I might expect from this film?

Thanks

E Thomson, you can expect full film speed, depending on developer, impressive sharpness, very fine grain, and no reciprocity up to 2 minute exposures. It is a fabulous material.

You can also expect spotty availability, and an ever-increasing price (sheets not QL). Good stuff for sure, but unless you're gonna stock up, be prepared to not be able to get it when you need it. On the other hand, the 120 is cheap and everywhere.
