Where to purchase Fujicolor 100?

[B&Wpositive]

Being in the US, it's really hard to get Fujicolor 100. With the recent discontinuation notice of some other Fujicolor films, I thought about buying some in-date Fujicolor 100 and freezing it.

I've seen Fujicolor Industrial 100 advertised online in 100-roll quantities from Japan Exposures, but 100 rolls is far too much for me, and so is the price. There are sellers on ebay from China offering a few rolls at high prices, but that's not a good deal, and I don't like buying from foreign ebay sellers.

Any other options? Can places like FPP and Lomography not legally sell this stuff in the US or something? You'd have thought an enterprising seller would have tried it.

Camera Film Photo sells individual rolls for about the same price as Japan Exposures' bulk price, shipped from Hong Kong I think. They have a nice selection of other Fujifilm stocks as well, including some that are hard to find in the US market. Or you can ask a kind Tokyo-based forum member to buy some for you from Kitamura in Shinjuku.

Thanks.

Never heard of that company. Anyone purchase from them? How are they to work with? What about shipping to the US? Is it expensive or a hassle? How about x-rays when buying overseas?

Also...this Fujicolor 100 is the real thing, not just a 200-speed film that Fuji labels as 100, right? This is the equivalent to the previous Superia 100 and they still make it?

I've not purchased film from them so can't comment on the x-rays, but the Japan Camera Hunter film cases I ordered from them were hassle free, with very reasonable shipping costs for international.

I don't know if I'm violating forum rules by cross-posting, but there's a thread on RFF about the 100 and 400 ISO versions of the Industrial. Someone determined from the edge coding that the Industrial 100 version is the same as the "regular" Fujicolor 100.
