And 112 Euros (currently also $112) from Fotoimpex. Yes, shipping is a bit, but when I get into 8x10 I'll buy enough of it and other things to minimize the shipping spread across the purchase.

AFAIK Fomapan has always been significantly more costly in the US. Probably partly due to the logistics involved, and partly due to the contractual arrangements to sell the same product under the Arista brand. That's speculation on my end, however.
We're just lucky to have relatively cheap Fomapan over here in Europe - well, those of us who use it, anyway. I do; I quite like their 100 and 200 speed films in sheet format sizes.

I have a box of J&C Classic 400, which is apparently the same stuff. What I like about it is its sensitivity up to and slightly beyond 700nm. Makes for some deep red filter fun!

My primary 8x10 film is Fomapan 100 and I've always bought it from fotoimpex because even with the shipping it has been significantly cheaper than buying here in the states. With the DHL "pandemic surcharge" on shipping I'm not sure if that's the case any longer; still working on my stock bought several years ago.

Fotoimpex sells boxes of 8x10 Fomapan 100 for 112. Eur. plus 36 Eur. shipping. Euros and USD are pretty much at par, so you're looking at approx 148 for a box, delivered, from Fotoimpex. So yes, its still a much beter deal to buy from Fotoimpex and have it shipped here, than getting it through B&H.
