I never had any problem in getting these (or other brands) for my Rolleimarin BC pack and for the BC pack in my Rolleiflash.


(Yes, I still use bulbs with my Rolleimarin, they produce more light than any strobe of reasonable size. Also, I use a flash system I made myself, which is calibrated to tilt the flash head toward the subject based on the nominal focal distance of my close-up lenses.)

You can draw the conclusion that they are not a best seller since they are available only in Carbon-Zinc, no Alkalines in this form.

On the other hand, the energy required to charge the flash capacitor is minimal, so they always last beyond their stated shelf life.
