jon w. Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Does anyone know where I might be able to get some of the (apparently) discontinued Polaroid 4 by 5 sheet films: specifically Type 52, Type 53, maybe the ultra-fast Type 57, and/or the Tungsten balanced colour film T-64? I'm in NSW, Australia, but reliable US outlets should probably be OK. I shoot a lot at night, so the remaining 54 and 55 are too slow for me.

tim_curry Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I had read at some point that the Polaroid 64t transparency film (not instant variety) was actually fuji's 64t. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Seems to be "in stock" at B&H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedharris Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Further, A quick call to my supplier indicates that it is NOT discontinued; at least not as far as he knows but that says nothign about distribution down under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_eastman Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Hi Jon, Vanbar doesn't have any in stock?? Melbourne based and absolute bastards when it comes to counter based customer service but they will stock most everything. Or they'll get orders in from asia probably faster than the US. They have a website just give them a google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon w. Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Thanks everyone. I should have checked VanBar - and indeed Polaroid themselves. A local supplier told me they were all discontinued, but maybe this just means they couldn't be bothered ordering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon w. Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 It appears that Types 52 and 53 are not distributed in Australia, and therefore have to be ordered direct from America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
