Dear Camera Experts,
I am considering to hunt down a 4x5" camera with a normal lens (a 5.6/160 Symmar lens and a Arca Swiss camera to be precise). The reason to do so is, that I tried to hunt down a decent Hassi, but those are that crazy expensive, that I stopped about that.
My concern is that: do You think, there will be a good supply of color slide film? And processing of it?
But moreover I were lucky on what You think about that idea.
I have another 12 hours, until I have to make my decision.
Best regards Peter

Hi Peter,
The film is still available but not on every camera shop shelf. You need to seek out a local shop that supplies professionals -- they might still stock sheet film. Otherwise, mailorder from Freestyle, B&H, or Calumet.
If you are in a major city you should be able to find a professional lab that is still processing sheet film. In my area the local labs that still deal with sheet film only do B&W and transparency, not color negative. If not, you can always mailorder your film to A&I (Hollywood CA). They process all types of color sheet film.
Brian
