Over the years, I have helped a few members get film from Japan, because those particular films are not available in their countries. I am now opening this opportunity for all members.
I buy film from Yodobashi, where it is stored properly, and prices are generally stable. There are other places where film may be cheaper, but I'm a bit wary, since they seem to keep changing prices, or store film in inappropriate conditions.
Pricing is exactly the price (in red numbers) you see at www.yodobashi.com plus shipping. Shipping will be only through JapanPost EMS, and the charges can be found here: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/ems_all_en.html An 8x10 film box weighs about 600 grams, and shipped weight is about 900 grams. A 4x5 film box or 120/220 5-roll Pro-pack is 175 grams, with shipping weight of about 450 grams.
How will it work?
Check www.yodobashi.com and confirm the price. Send me an email at uchinomishiharai at gmail dot com with your requirements. I add shipping costs to your destination, and send you an invoice. You pay the invoice, and I order from Yodobashi. When the film arrives, I package and ship it, either the same or the next business day. While it is in my possession, the film will be refrigerated.
I am also able to supply brand new Toyo 4x5 and 8x10 film holders.
Current pricing is:
Toyo CH45II 4x5 film holders (2 per pack) : 10,000 JPY
Toyo CH810 8x10 film holder (1 per pack) : 18,000 JPY
This price includes worldwide EMS shipping. There is nothing extra to pay.
All payments are via Paypal in Japanese Yen only, shipping is via JapanPost EMS only.
EMS generally takes 2~3 days to reach most places in North America, Europe and Australia/New Zealand.
JapanPost has announced an increase in EMS shipping charges w.e.f. 1st June, 2016. The increase is about 300~500 JPY in each weight band. The cheapest band of 300 grams will be discontinued. To help members beat this increased cost, for the next 48 hours, I am offering a 5% discount on the listed price of film. EMS shipping charges are NOT discounted!
Thanks,
Kumar
