Can I have a recommendation on any places that sell sheet film in Las Vegas, NV, please? The last time I was there, about a year ago or so, Casey's Camera were very helpful, but they seem to be a different company now (B&C) and there is no mention of film on their web site anymore. I am looking for 4x5 Ilford, preferably Delta 100.

I realise I can have it shipped, and that is my backup option, but I have always preferred to pick up locally where possible.

Oops! Just noticed you are in Ireland! I called and b and c at the Caseys location on Tropicana does stock 25 sheet packs of HP 5 only. Price $39.95.
If this will not work for you let me know and I will order from Freestyle, what ever film you want and deliver to you at your hotel. Just pm me your schedule or e mail dlwooten.dw@gmail.com.

Dave, that's very kind of you, many thanks for your kind offer. I've just emailed the new owners of Casey's, and I'll see what they say. If they can get a couple of boxes of Delta 100, that's great, and I won't have to bother you. Otherwise, your offer would be even sweeter on account of meeting a fellow APUGer. I'll be in Vegas Feb 28–Mar 4, speaking at a conference, but with some free time on Monday 3rd, which was the day I planned to pop down to get the film, before heading off to Arizona on 4th.

I'll let you know what I hear from B&C.

If you're driving down Kingman or Needles way, spend an hour or two kicking around Oatman - A bit of a one-horse kind of backwater town on the old route 66. If nothing else, it is amusing to watch the wild donkeys mugging tourists for food

Thanks for the tip. Will be driving there after dark, I'm afraid, this time. I know the route well, I've driven is 50+ times, but I've never stopped in Oatman. Something for the next time, thanks Paul!
