As per his usual good service I've received an almost instant reply, he's not seen any Fortia in years, bad news I suppose.
There are are a few other bits and bobs that he sells and can source from Japan, if anyone fancies a browse through the site. (I'm not affiliated)
I just mailed 48 rolls to them yesterday from Thailand and I'm here until Sunday. I still haven't even looked at the last two batches I sent them which are sitting at my house. I'll be sure to post up when I get them. Unfortunately my meter broke about half way through my trip, so I've only been shooting my cameras I took that have an internal meter. My F2 and GW690II have been idle my whole time in Thailand.
Nate, did I tell you? I almost loaded that Fortia you gave me into my LX while I was at Mt. Yaedake but my LX had been acting funny so I decided against it.
Sure enough, the mirror was falling lower then it is suppose to so all my shots would have been OOF. Its at 'ol boys shop right now. Ain't that a b*?
PS: Can't wait for your return. The shots you upload will be amazing for sure. Gonna follow the J-rule or gonna have to break it?
My I have shot so much that if I have anything decent it will take forever to post up. Why is almost every LX ever made broken? You should have bought mine.

Because of sticky mirror syndrome. There's a rubber bit in the shutter mechanism that degrades over time and must be replaced periodically.

Its not just that. I've had two broken ones that did not have sticky mirrors.
