Kodak Portra 400 in 220

[DarkMagic]

Is Kodak portra 400 the last remaing fresh produced film in 220 rolls?

Just wonder since i today on impulse bought a Mamiya 645 AFD

I think you can also at least get Portra 160 in 220.

Don't some of the Fuji films come in 220?

No more 220 from fuji.Portra 160 and 400 are the only currently made 220 films,afaik.

Just got back from the freezer and the 220 stocks are dwindling there as well,15 rolls of nph 400 and 5 rolls of 160 npc then I can go ahead and scrap the 220 backs,lucky I'm a slow shooter!

Keep the 220 backs so you can do panos with 35mm film.

I gather this means Kodak 160 and 400 won't work for you...

Testing a 220 roll Portra 400 colour in Yahica Mat-124 G now. Have 4 more rolls and 5 rolls Portra 400 B&W left.

Best regards,

I just wish they would cut a small break on 220 considering it must be a bit cheaper to package.

I guess I should be happy it's available at all.

B&H still has non expired Fuji 160S 220 in stock.

You'll have to mod for your camera (unless you're using a Bronica GS-1) but this is the general approach:

Kodak Portra 400 and 160 are made in 220, I think Ektar might.

Doesn't matter anyway, you can just flip the pressure plate to 120..

BTW, the 645 is a good camera, the AF is dog s*** and it's made out of plastic, but the lenses render really nice. I use mine for weddings

There is still Provia 100F, Astia 100F, Velvia 100, and Velvia 50 available, but you have to import it from Japan. It will cost you arm and leg.

I bought a few 5 packs of Fuji Pro 160S in 220 from B&H a month or two ago.

They currently have Fuji Pro 160S and Kodak Portra 160 & 400 in 220.


The stuff I got expires July 2012.
