Color negative 120/220 in Dubai?

[sue_deva]

Hi. Long story short, I'm in India right now and running low(ish) on

film. I am shooting mostly Kodak 400 UC (220), Fuji NPL 160 (120),

and Fuji NPZ 800 (220). Neither 400 UC nor NPL 160 are available in

India; I think that NPZ 800 is, but only in 120 size. Anyway, someone

I know is going to Dubai soon and who might be able to look around

for film. Can anyone recommend some good shops where these sorts of

products might be available?

Thanks.

There is a Fuji store with plenty of pro stuff at the Sharjah Mega Mall (about 15 minutes from the Deira section of Dubai). There may be similar shops in Dubai's malls; I just don't recall seeing them. I'm sure they are around.

Unfortunately, 400UC and NPZ are not available in this part of the world. Ask the respective official agents about them and they wouldn't know what you're talking about. I'm not sure about NPL; I don't use it. Reala, NPH, NPC, NPS and Superia 800 are available.

 

Grand Stores is the Fuji agent. United Color Film is the Kodak agent.

 

Don't bet too much on the Gulf states for 120/220 film.

Are you absolutely sure about the NPZ? Because I just talked to a guy who until one month ago was a Fuji marketing representative in India and who assured me that NPZ was available HERE (in 120) for a decent price, so it seems odd that it wouldn't be available in a much more sophisticated market like Dubai. Maybe it's just too sunny there to require any 800-speed film! Ahahahahaha. Heh. Hoo...
