Fuji FP 100b in europe?

[TimM]

[FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Hello,

I'm quite desperate because I can't find a shop which still sells the fuji fp 100b. (for a "reasonable, student-friendly" price)
I would like to take a few packages of it with me on my trip to central america (-> land camera 350) - so my question is: Does anyone know a shop/whatever where i can buy 2-4 packages?

Please!

Thank you,

Tim

What is "student friendly"? Around 1.20€/sheet seems to be the regular price these days - e.g. at http://www.fotomayr.de/CGI-BIN/webkat98.exe?001096.HTM&WA=EUR-WEBKAT98 or http://www.macodirect.de/fuji-glossybr85x102cm-3x410-sheets-p-1365.html.

If that should be too expensive, maybe some user knows a source for expired film? But see that it is only expired by a few months - expired instant film is significantly more prone to failure than expired film in general.

Fuji fp 100b not 100c - yes 14 euro/package is a reasonable price 🙂

Fuji fp 100b not 100c

Oops. That has been discontinued last spring, 3000B is the only black and white instant film left - but most people always thought it (and Polaroid 667) is the better of the two, 100B had a somewhat hard to tame contrast, and the resolution on either is limited by the transfer diffusion rather than grain. You may need a ND filter in bright light. As easy to find as 100C, but about 30-40% more expensive!

Hallo TimM! Please try it in the evilbay. Otherwise no chance to get some FP100B. I have tried it without any success two weeks ago. Maybe you can find a seller in GB or US who has some, but not in Europe.
