Marc,
Hewes reels are expensive relative to "cheap Japanese reels." But, I
agree about being able to bounce a Pro Hewes reel on the floor without
it bending.
Freestyle Photo and B&H both carry the Pro Hewes reels but Freestyle
has them for quite a bit less money....
The 120 reel is $23.99 at Freestyle and $35.95 at B&H. You'll have to
buy a roll of film to hit Freestyle's $25 minimum order limit.
Jeff
