Thank you sansanjay

We ship to Greece all the time. We even speak the language.

Το ξέρω. :wink:


Isn't shipping from across the Atlantic insane though? Especially for
a bunch of little weightless tubes?

Hmmmm...Sounds like a good excuse to buy
more stuff... :rolleyes:
 
I thought of many times to order stuff from J&C, Calumet and B&H, especially stuff I couldn't find here, but the cost of shipping was always above 50 US$, going up as high as 150 US$ for a 14"x17" enlarging mask!
I remember when I placed in the shopping cart only one roll of film and the shipping was something like 40-50 US$(I can't remember which store)!
So I have given up ordering from the US, even the UK is a gamble as they charge "over-seas" for crossing the Channel!
 
Another neat product along these lines is a MF film pack that was and perhaps still is made by Tenba or Tamrac or Lowe or one of those manufacturers. It had a rubber slit on the top for inserting exposed rolls and a zipper down the side for opening the pack, and it held about 5 or 6 rolls of film, and it had a loop on the back for use as a belt pack.

I could see such a thing with the Ilford logo on it.
 
I have that accessory that David mentions and it is made by Lowepro, part of the series of accessories that hook on its belts, vests and cases. Its quite helpful and I don't know what I would do without it but its kinda large to wear it inconspiciously. With another kind of film pack on the other side (one for un- and the other for exposed) , I feel like a soldier with his ammo belt.

I just hook mine on the side of my camera backpack. I love it. I also have the J&C tubes. When I unload my Lowepro holder, I slip them into the tubes until I can get them processed.
 
The adox film already come in these tubes. After I take the film out the empties roll around on the car floor and I put the exposed film in my pocket.
Oh well.
 
Hmmm.... now what if a brightly colored Lowepro MF film pack with the Ilford logo came filled with a ProPack of your favorite Ilford film? That might stand out on the shelf behind the film counter.

It may be just "crossing the Channel" but the fact is that the postage costs for shipping outside of the UK are MUCH higher than for mailing within the UK. And for shipping outside of Europe it is much higher still. I think is something to do with some international body that sets international postal rates (International Postal Union?)
