And I really, really, really wish that ILFORD and Bergger would put out 5-packs, cause when you order 10 rolls from B&H, they come shrink wrapped together. So Ilford has the idea, but doesn't trigger the pricing. Bummer.

Agreed. I travel with a lot of film and 5 roll boxes make that a lot easier. A big reason why I started off using TMAX400 was that it came in 5 roll boxes.

Like you in many ways! only later to the party. I love TMAX, and Kodak. But I want to support others committed to film, too. Especially if they have good product - like Ilford and Bergger. So for now I'm willing to do Kodak for its color (Portra) which I have 2 kits for developing - to give that a shot, and Ilford for B&W with occasional forays into Bergger and Ferrania land. But the problem of more than one film come development time is it compounds the work. So I'm going to give Ilford Delta 400 a run at becoming my go-to. Haven't ever shot Adox, but heard they've been unable to stock some of their films due to supplier issues... meaning the increasing narrowness of the supplier market. Paper backing is rumored to be one of these factors generally, though I don't think that's Adox's issue.
