That certainly beats Vanbar's $15.10 per roll with no option to buy it in bulk that I can see; but Freestyle have Fuji Neopan 1600 iso 35mm x 36 exp. for $4.99.

Now that looks like a good offer goldie.

Feb's just fine for me Molli.

So, seriously now, enough fridge contents (bugger all in my cupboard I might add).... at a glance I'd be looking at a brick of Neopan 1600, 35mm... that IS 10 rolls, huh?

Thinking about what else.... I do print my own yes, but I have to say film is my focus for the moment, I've plenty of paper (thanks to the quitting students :wink:).

Have to say, I'd rather not be rolling my own, so if I can get tailor-mades at the right price I'm gonna be happy. So, now I'm looking at Tri-x prices.....

Remember, as long as the value is under I think $1000 AUD there'll be no hassles at customs on this end..... doubt we'll go over that though.

Okay, well, how much of that are you wanting? Freestyle keep your shopping basket for three weeks (regardless of the fact that I have no account with them - just tracked by cookies). Anyway, I added in your ten rolls of Fuji (plus a couple for myself) so... what am I adding now? :smile: This is NOT a carved in stone order, by the way. Can delete and start again at any time. By the way, that extra ten rolls of film only added about four dollars to the postage from my earlier tally of $27 products = $70 prority or $39 priority mail. Now we're up to $90.80 products = $80 or $45.16 p&h

If we go over a thousand dollars I have a spare kidney here to sell if anyone's needing it? (Going for the bargain bottom price of... let's see... how about a thousand dollars? Sound fair?)

You were wanting instant print film for your Polaroid back, don't forget. Is this what you were after? I'm sorry, I don't know a thing about it:

Fujifilm Instax ISO 800 Instant Print Film - 20 exposures $21.99
Fujifilm Instax Mini Instant Print Color Film Twin Pack (2 packs x 10 exposures each) $14.99

provided you've led a clean-living life you might get top dollar!

Now now, needn't resort to such drastic measures, just yet........... ok, I'm thinking 10 rolls Neopan 1600 and 10 rolls of Tri-X.

10 x Fuji Neopan 1600
10 x Kodak Tri-X
2 x Fujifilm FP-3000B B&W 3.25 x4.25 Instant Print Film

It'll change no doubt, but that's what I'm thinking at a glance.....

The amounts given previously were for everything that both you and I have popped in the shopping trolley plus postage and handling. It's the same p&h whether shipped to you or to me (what's an extra 60k's when you've already travelled quite a few thousand miles?)
