no transparency film to be found

<p>Have a photo excursion planned for mid-October with my Wista 4 x 5. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any 4 x 5 color slide film (of any brand) in stock anywhere currently. Looks like it will be a black and white trip...</p>

<p>Freestyle expect some in by Sept 28. :) Also there is always Porta 400 negative film. It's really nice stuff.</p>

<p>I did a quick check on Amazon and found some Ektachrome and Fuji Quickload film. An October trip - for Fall colors? A bummer if no color film is available. </p>

<p>Seems like BH has plenty. I was looking a few other places the other day and didn't see any shortage of 4x5 film--I do doubt to many "local" stores stock it. There is also plenty of color negative 4x5 out there as well if you scan--I stopped shooting chrome film when I got a good scanner!</p>

<p>My search at B&H, 4 X 5, color slide film, shows all currently out of stock.<br>

However, Badger Graphic, shows Velvia and Ektachrome in stock, both 100 ASA.</p>

<p>Velvia @ Badger, 20 sheets @ $52.99.<br>

<p>Ektachrome @ Badger, 10 sheets @ $27.99.<br>

<p>So if Chrome is available who is processing it. I don't have the ability to process color neg. or chrome?<br>

I would like somebody in Central New York. Any help?</p>

[john_a5]

<p>Calumet has 4x5 ektachrome in stock, I didn't look further--a bit more expensive than badger at $29.99 for 10 sheets.</p>

<p>Ron, you may have to send your film somewhere or look in the nearest large city for a professional lab. I would call some local professional commercial photographers, they should know even if they are now shooting digital--find an older guy--one who advertises 20 years in the business!</p>

<p>Ron--Try Praus Productions in Rochester. They are excellent for both E-6 and C 41 large format and roll film.</p>

<p>Marc- Thanks for the info about Badger! That's one that I was not familiar with. I did, however, stumble across a box of Velvia100F here close to home. A local camera store guy had a single box stashed back in the fridge for personal use, but he's willing to sell it to me. <br>

As a note- some of the web stores that show film as being 'in stock' turn out to be not in stock when you try to actually make a purchase. <br>

I guess the lesson here is to stock up when and if it's available...save it in the freezer. I've heard bad stories, however, from photographers that have tried to use out of date film even when it has been in cold storage.</p>

<p>Getting reliable ETA dates from Fuji is iffy. Could show up tomorrow or December 23rd. Our buyer expects to have more Kodak E100G 4x5 next week, <em>we hope.</em></p>

<p>PhotoVisions in Salem Oregon still does a nice job with a Refrema machine and E-6.</p>

[sergio_ortega7]

<p>Visions (Santa Fe, New Mexico) always does a nice job with E6 in all formats. http://www.visionsphotolab.com/ </p>

<p>There's so much 4x5 tranny film available on Evilbay it's doin' my head in..</p>

[Dave Luttmann]

<p>Local labs around Victoria and Vancouver have a all the different E6 films available. I checked Toronto labs and the same. Not sure why B&H can't get any. Sounds more like they are lazy than supply issues.</p>
