Used by many professional and commercial large format photographers, the availability of FP-100B 4x5 instant film provides a practical proofing and testing solution to check light, depth and overall composition when shooting.

Fujifilm FP-100B 4x5 instant film is a positive, “peel-apart” panchromatic material designed for camera back-incorporated photographic equipment and cameras that accept instant film packs.

There is about twice the quality of detail, the blacks are black and the highlights are white (unlike the color equivalent which has a color cast to it). I really like the tonal range as well - very broad and smooth transitions between gradations. I typically use instant film to either take a picture and hand it to someone or to check for exposure.
