Advance Photo System for B&W ???

Recommended Posts

As far as I know Fuji are marketing in Japan only a

B&W film similar to XP2 & Kodak's 400cn, i.e. it can

be processed in C41. There is also normal B&W film

available, again in Japan only.

Without going into the pros and cons of APS, there is

still a long way to go until all the film types we are

used to in 35mm are available in APS.

This is mainly to do with the lack of processing capacity

and skill. Here in the UK, Boots (a leading drugstore chain) are

replacing in-store Kodak labs with their own trained staff

and equipment supplied by Fuji, to give APS processing a boost

(per Amateur Photographer).

Sorry, but can't be more specific on your question ....

Unless you are a 'socker mom' or perinial tourist, there is no reason to waste time and money on the silliest photographic 'development' ever seen! The system is desinged for 'ease of use' and not for anyone even slightly interested in pursuing high quality photos. It discourages, if not outright prevents, user processing. The only B&W film available is the dismal chromogenic junk that requires the use of a commercial lab. Everyone in this formum should be processing their own film! With a daylight tank, chaning bag, and stop watch, you can do it in your kitchen sink!
