Thanks Daniel and Asmo.
Fotoimport charges 60/roll, Fotoimpex 46/roll (after shipping & 25% sales tax).
Buying 50 rolls at a time, that’s 700 saved (about $100).
I may just wait until the next time I travel and have it shipped to my hotel
and bring it back. That reduces the cost to 32/roll, half of the cost in Norway.
I’ve bought stuff from Silverprint before, they’re good people. Everytime I’ve
tried Ilford film I never seem to be able to get the results I’m looking for,
although I understand they make really good film. Just doesn’t seem to work for
me like APX100 and TX400.
Good suggestions by all, thanks very much!
Cheers,
Thor
