I prefer fuji Acros but at colour tranny prices for twenty sheets from japan they can shove it!!. Oh btw i have a fair bit of acros stock in 5x4 so if i post images from this stock please don't think i am being disloyal .

    Why do we need color ,or colour as we say over here, i am sure that if i need some colour in my life mr Fuji would be more than happy to provide me with his excellent 100 velvia (at the same price as Acros) my point .Cheers Gary

    Yes but they rotate it by 90 degrees before they ship it to you. We know it's really 5x4 as the English laws of physics make it very difficult to manufature it as 4x5.

    Touche! Vinny ,And also 8x10 which is how i would would say it in my proper english, although from memory Ilford (or it representitive)did send 100 sheets of Delta 100 to my home ordered in the incorrect manner as 5x4
    And once i turned this mistake on its side it fitted perfectly
