Good to know that it went back down--I stocked up from Adorama anyways.

I didn't mean to complain about the price increase per se but the huge overnight spike was shocking. It was strange to see BH selling a very popular film for $1 more than their competitors.

Well it's good to know that this was false and I hope to continue purchasing tri-x.

My local store has 120 at $4.85, up about a dollar from a month ago but still not too bad.

So how much did you earn the in the last year you bought Tri-X in 120? Maybe your take home pay was only $13,500 that year. With that income a roll would be quite expensive.

None, I was in school on the GI Bill.

I now have some TriX 120, I bought it from Adorama for $3.79 a roll. I also bought some TMax 100, TMax 400, FP4, PanF, Acros 100, and wanted some Rollei Pan 25, available only at B&H and Freestyle. Have you seen the price for that? OMG is what I say. Looks like I'm shooting some other film emulsions in 120.

My paradox, right word?, is I shoot so little 120 these days. I'm working on my 11X14, look at the cost of a sheet of that film!
