I think much of your issue is with Fuji's US and Canadian importer, rather than Fuji in Japan, who actually make a wider range of product than we see over here. What I wouldn't give for some 4x5 Reala... That said, they don't make IR film. They do make b&w chemistry, but the US & Canadian importers only sell it in bulk. I've heard some good stuff about one of their b&w film developers, but I can't get my hands on it in anything less than a 100L mix, so I don't think I'll be trying it any time soon. Fuji's product line is smaller, yes, but it is even smaller in North America because of cautious importers. -Aaron p.s. Isn't Kodak's sheet IR discontinued? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
