4x5 instant film

Bob Rogers

For a couple years I did 4x5 photography, shooting Ilford B&W film. I've sold off almost all the equipment, but I'd kind of like to shoot with a view camera again. I still have a Polaroid back. I think it's a 545. Anyway, I see that Fuji is making instant film that I gather will work in the Polaroid back. So I've gotten this idea of getting a 4x5 field camera and shooting Fuji instant film to scan.

But I'd really hate it if I got the camera and then Fuji stopped making the film. Does anyone have any insight on the likelihood that instant 4x5 film will continue to be available? I really do not foresee building another 4x5 darkroom.

It will need to be the true 4x5 film holder not the later smaller sheet film type.

P.S. I still have Polaroid film for the later sheet film holder that fits a 4x5 camera.
