Does anyone know if the film size is still available around?

Thanks

Around where?

 

ERA in mainland China makes an old style film that size called Portrait Film for LF "Portrait Cameras", but I have not seen it outside the PRC.

 

I will be there in a few weeks and will buy a box, cut it down to 4x5 and try it. It would be easy to cut down to 5x7 also as a good source of that rapidly disappearing format.

 

Cheers

Mr. Cad in the UK sells Maco whole-plate, but there are not many sources. A few years ago it was impossible to buy just about anywhere. Also try Freestyle in Los Angeles (they do a lot of Maco) and Films for Classics in New York State. It's a gorgeous format. Alternatively, put a 5x7/13x18/half plate back on the same camera.

It's a beautiful size film for contact printing. Definitely too bad that it's gone.

I shoot 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 sometimes. In general I cut down 8x10 film to fit. A few months ago I brought a box of Chinese-made film on Ebay in this size. I haven't shot that film yet, but I'll post the results when I do.

I will second the suggestion for Photo Warehouse in Oxnard.

Cut to size, with notch... cheaper then buying 8x10 and cutting. It behaves just like fp4 - but they will not say it is.
