Netherlands: Film and holders sizes

[marcus_leonard]

1. 4x5 film, Portra 160 NC or Fuji NPS 160: when sold in Europe, are the sizes different?

2. Holders, I use Toyo, are the sizes different in Europe?

3. In particular in the Netherlands, between Amsterdam and Eindhoven, where can I buy the film mentioned under 1. ? (Q for Andrea Milano?)

If the answer to 2. is YES, can I buy US sizes in the NL?

 

<p>

 

Thanks.

for you.

yards from Central Station): info@fotoklein.nl/(0)104141344 ; I am

sure they can help you.<br>

Rotterdam; can't find their addresses at the moment. They are

somewhere on internet.<br>

Dear Marcus,

yes you can buy any "american" film size in Europe, we use to

have two sizes the metric and the "american-english" sizes, they

were always sold next to one another(9x12cm-4"x5" or

18x24cm-8"x10") these days you would only be able to find

"american-english" sizes, so don't worry and just go and get

them.

I agree with the previous contributor but I wouldn't choose "Foto

Klein" and I'd rather go to the following shops.

 

<p>

 

Fimex (Amsterdam, Purmerend, Eindhoven) a very convenient

shop, well stocked but do not espect too much in terms of

advice, great prices and special offers (at times...)

Fimex Amsterdam, Parnassusweg 206, 020-6767569.

Camex Eindhoven, Hooghuisstr. 29 040-2449081

Capi is very expensive but will provide the largest selection of

Items available , most of it on display as a cash and carry shop,

rather than a shop with a counter divideng the customers from

the stock.
