mikemgb Posted December 17, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Apparently they are sold out pretty much everywhere, I tried to buy one in London last month, no luck. I just came out of Leica NYC, I got to play with one but they had none to sell. Does anyone know anywhere in the USA they might be in stock?

harryzet Posted December 17, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2016 buy the fuji, save big money and buy more film instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted December 17, 2016 Thank you for that well reasoned comment, I shall certainly take it into consideration on my hunt for a Sofort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a well known dealer in Germany has the Sofort in stock. It was announced to be available mid November, now it's mid December and nearly impossible to get one. A local dealer only has the orange available. I have an Instax mini 90 but wanted, given the price point of the Sofort (for a Leica), one as my own Christmas gift, but It will perhaps become an Easter gift next year...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If you decide for the Fuji, you can customize the front of it with genuine leather (http://aki-asahi.com/store/html/InstaxMini90/Leather/InstaxMini90_LeatherKit.php ), very easy to do.

mikemgb Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted December 18, 2016 On doing some research today I found the next batch of Soforts is due to arrive at dealers on or around 23rd of this month. Most of those are pre-sold. I managed to find a dealer who still had one white one unsold. I pre-ordered it, hopefully I will have it by the New Year.

kaethe Posted December 18, 2016 Share #9 Posted December 18, 2016 Fireside Cameras in San Francisco had two when I was there on this past Wednesday. kaethe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 18, 2016 Share #10 Posted December 18, 2016 Herrington Catalogue lists the camera. You might want to check with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks all, Murphy's in Louisville assure me they will ship one on the 23rd, I wasn't really sure I wanted one until I got to hold it. The camera is smaller than I was expecting, it'll fit in a jacket pocket and will be a lot of fun at parties and other gatherings.

stuny Posted December 19, 2016 Share #12 Posted December 19, 2016 It will also be terrific in underdeveloped areas of countries. Barbara's mini-polaroid photo gifts always caused a positive stir 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share #13 Posted December 27, 2016 A few days late but my Sofort shipped today. It will be delivered to my work on Friday. Of course, my company is closed so I'll have to run up to the UPS depot and see if they'll give it to me. Next question, where's the film? All my local stores are out of stock and even Amazon doesn't have much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 27, 2016 Share #14 Posted December 27, 2016 Is the Fuji film interchangeable with the Leica film? If so.... Maybe your Sofort dealer knows. Maybe your Sofort dealer has film. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted December 27, 2016 Share #15 Posted December 27, 2016 Is the Fuji film interchangeable with the Leica film? If so.... Maybe your Sofort dealer knows. Maybe your Sofort dealer has film. Yes, same type of film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your Sofort dealer has film. It is identical, except for packaging and price. I do have 2 packs of Fuji here, 2 more on the way and 2 packs of Leica monochrome ordered. It just seems to be in short supply right now, I wonder if Fuji have underestimated demand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
