Looking for Fuji PA-145 holder

[soboyle www.oboylephoto.co]

<p>Anyone know a source for a Fuji PA-145 instant film holder? It is the holder that accommodates the smaller 3.25"x4.25" film on a 4x5 camera. I believe the Polaroid 405 holder will work as well. Any thoughts? It's like they have disappeared from the face of the earth. </p>

<p>3 PA-145s recently sold on ebay, July 1 - 9th ... $100, $155 and $255.</p>

<p>They're kinda rare and people are gobbling them up to still be able to 'do the Fuji' ... :o)</p>

<p>Likewise, the 405 also, from what I've observed.</p>

<p>$100 I can do -- $255 -- I didn't pay that for my entire LF camera/Lens!<br>

Just getting into LF, and thought the instant film would be a good way to get feedback on what I'm doing (wrong) with the camera. Maybe not!<br>

If Fuji sells the film, why the frig don't they still sell the holders?</p>

<p>Uh, Jim. You've linked to the PA-45 not the PA-145. Huge difference.</p>

<p>http://www.japanexposures.com/shop/advanced_search_result.php?currency=USD&keywords=145 Here's a Japanese seller, but keep in mind that shipping costs are higher when going out of country.</p>

<p>I bought my 405 holder for $40 off of Craigslist. If the deals are out there you've got to be diligent to find them. But maybe they're all gone at this point.</p>

<p>My bad, needed coffee. Sorry folks.</p>

Happy hunting.</p>

<p>Well, the info from ebay is correct, it was for the PA145 ... pricey as they may be.</p>

<p>So they do pop up, albeit not frequently.</p>

<p>(When you do search for them, mind the " - " in the name. A search string looking for <strong>PA-145</strong> reads that as, "look for <strong>PA</strong> and do not include instances that have a <strong>145</strong> in them ". The + and - modify the search sometimes without the intent clear.)</p>
