Someone from Japan - Looking for Fuji Fortia SP!!

[gavinlg]

Hey all,

I've been fascinated with this film I've discovered recently - fuji fortia SP. It seems to deliver hugely vivid colors, moreso than velvia 50. It's pretty much not available in Australia and as far as I can see - the US as well. I would really love to try some with certain shots I've been wanting to do for a long while.

If anyone from Japan knows where they can get some of the stuff in 35mm, and is willing to do me the huge favor of sending some to me in Australia, I'd be willing to reimburse them with the cost + a small amount for their troubles!

Thanks,
Gavin

You can buy it yoursel direct from Megaperls. The packaging is as wild as the film. Perhaps I shall post a photo of the film packaging itself.

Sweet, thanks very much - never seen it there before.... I just wonder if it can be developed in Australia with normal e6 chemicals.... Does anyone know?

It is a normal E-6 process.

The "SP" supposedly stands for "spring", which is when this limited release film usually comes out in time for the Cherry Blossom Festivals! It loves to shoot flowers and all things bursting with SPring color. Have fun!

I would also strongly recommend Megaperls. Dirk from Megaperls has sent me film to Australia, Europe and elsewhere and always done it promptly, with shipping options including some very fast ones. His prices are good too.
