Interesting thing I found the other day - on MegaPerls they actually *have* FP-100C in 4x5 format (FP-100C45) - so, it appears to be a Japan-only product (as well as FP-100B45 and an FP-500B45, which doesn't seem to be available in regular pack size). I wonder if that had to do with their licensing agreement with Polaroid - otherwise that seems a waste not to sell in the rest of the world.

Is that FP100C45 not the pack-film version in 4x5? That is indeed readily available - it's the single-sheet versions which are sadly missing from the lineup. That is definitely very interesting though, as I've never heard of FP400B or FP500B before, and I didn't think FP100B was available in 4x5 - so it certainly looks like Fuji have capacity for producing instant films beyond the limited amount currently available 'over here'. Which has to be good news for us in a post-Polaroid world...


Wayne - my copy of the Fuji professional dataguide lists the reciprocity characteristics of FP100C/FP100C-Silk (love the silk version) as follows:

Exposure time - Exposure correction - Colour correction
1/1000 - NA - NA
1/100 - NA - NA
1/10 - NA - NA
1 - +2/3 stop - 5R
4 - +1 stop - 5Y+7.5R
8 - +1.5 stops - 5Y+7.5R
16 - 2 stops - 7.5Y+12.5R


I am now slightly confused, as the version of the guide which I googled-up in order to put a link in here shows different numbers... (I was looking at the version which I have safely stored on my computer for reference.)

I'll see if I can work out which one is out-of-date...
