[pure-silver] Re: B&W Films

Hi,

Your are right saying why to drive Skoda? I was telling about bulk 100ft of 
Tri-X and T-Maxs. The price was half. I believe it is best to go into Kodak as 
much as possible and then/parallel use Ilford depending the experience and 
response of years' expectation and experince.

B&H and Freestyle price it at $3.50 - $5.00.  There
does seem to be a ~$1.00 price hike on the 'new' TMax;
it used to be $4.00 and now it is $5.00.

Just about all TMax is out of stock at both B&H and
Freestyle.  I guess they drew down their freezer-full
of reserve stock while switching manufacturing from 
the old to the new TMax.

I can't, of course, comment on the pricing situation in
Turkey or the feasibility of ordering film from
the US.

Here in the US these don't sell for that much less than
Kodak or Ilford.

I think they are all pretty horrid.  I don't see any
reason to bother using them.  Compared to the effort 
in taking the pictures the $1.50 one can save seems
pretty silly in comparison.

After trying all the films and developers, 
starting out some fifty years back with Plus-X 
and Microdol-X, I have made the radical progression
to TMax 100 and Microdol-X.

I am sure the Ilford equivalents would do just as well, 
but I feel one should support the 'home town team', 
as it were.

Why drive a Skoda if you don't have to?
