Acros 120 in the uk

tocalosh · May 13, 2009

Acros 120 seems to be out of stock everywhere.
I've tried 7dayshop.com, fujilab.co.uk, silverprint and discountfilmdirect + a few others all have it on back order.

Teamwork say they can order it, but the price has doubled?
This would make it £4-5 a roll, which is far higher than any other 120 film!

Does anybody know anywhere in the uk with it in stock? That will post out?

Hope someone can help

Thanks
Sam

According to the Warehouse Express, site, they have stock, as does my local Jessops (I'm assuming you refer to the Fuji Neopan Acros 120).

I've noticed film (and paper) prices have jumped by 25-50% over the last few months, so if W.E. still have stocks at the advertised £2.48, do a bulk order and put unused rolls on ice.

[Side note] Jessops can't be all that bad - Local store carries 5x4 FP4+ and gives discount.

W.E. has seven rolls in stock as of 18:05 ;-)

There was something recently about Fuji Japan's minimum orders to their overseas subsidiaries and that was having an impact on some B&W materials in the UK, they'd no longer be imported officially as sales weren't high enough. I thought this was mainly going to affect LF but it may impact 120 as well.

About 5 minutes after i posted here i emailed fujilab.co.uk to ask them when it will be back in.
They've just replied and its back in stock!! Thats a fast reply!

Heres hoping that its still £1.66 a roll!

There you go delphine, i think i'll stock up this time.

It's the B&W Readyloads that are the first loss due to the minimum quantities.

Ask if there is a price break for bulk and stock up. Judging by prices elsewhere, £1.66 (or £15.73 for 10) is a damned good price.

Just wished I'd bought more Panf when it was at a similar price.

I got a load of cheap(ish) Pan-F from 7dayshop just two weeks ago. £1.85 a roll [as I ordered 10] including shipping.

I was surprised reading this, as I got a couple rolls of Acros in 120 about a month ago when I did a big order at Silverprint.

Prehaps I had the last 2

I ordered some from Choose Film (Fuji) and it is on back order. That was about three or four weeks ago.

Kevin Caulfield · May 13, 2009

I got an email today advising that my Acros has now been shipped from the UK.

tocalosh · May 14, 2009

Yep its back in stock at www.fujilab.co.uk (choose film) They've sent me an email saying they've shipped it today. (40 rolls). I'll buy another load after Appleby Horse Fair, the first week of June, i usualy shoot a load there.
Panic over.

Acted on your advice and ordered some last night. Email received today @ 5pm saying "we are awaiting another delivery of Acros 100 120. Should be early next week."

They did say they had lots of back orders.
I've got some Delta 100 to try out this weekend. (back up plan)

If any of the places i tryed to order from gets any, i'll post it here.

It's OK as I'm not in any rush, so next week will be absolutely fine for me.
