Ilford in Tokyo

[uccemebug]

Can anyone tell me where I can still find Ilford film in Tokyo? Bic seems to have dropped it this Summer, and none of the little shops I've seen carry it.

Thanks,

(Apologies if this thread is redundant, I tried the search....)

Try Yodobashi. When Chugai stopped being the distributer for Ilford in Japan, the manager at Yodobashi said until the current stock is depleted they wont be getting more in. Now that Cyber Graphics has started distributing it, my local Yodobashi finally now has a good selection again. Also, they told me they can order anything I want as well. Check with the film guys at the Yodobashi in either Akihabara or Shinjuku and they will order it for you if they dont have it.

Also you can buy directly from cybergrahics as well,
http://www.ilfordphoto.jp. I ordered a couple of things from them directly last month and it was delivered the next day.

Hope it helps.

Gary, thank you for your very quick and useful response!

I hadn't seen any at Yodabashi in Shinjuku earlier in the year, didn't think to mention it in my post. Maybe I was caught in the switch of distributors.

I'm itching to get my hands on some FP4 again.
