Does anyone know of a UK supplier of this film? I've drawn a blank so far. No reply from a mail to Kodak. Retro photographic and Robert White do not even stock Kodak film (why?). Teamwork photo in London have no idea when it will be in stock.

Also, why on earth is Fuji Acros Quickload twice the price of Kodak TMAx 100 readyload?

Cheers!

Steve

Haven't got a reply from Silverprint, but Teamwork have the old stuff and had no idea when they would be getting the new stuff.

Bottom line I suspect is that you will have to wait until the old stock is sold out, and given the slow movement of 5x4 here that may take a while...

You could try the Hasselblad Pro Centre in London as they probably have as fast a turnover as anyone (though whether they will know which version they have I don't know).

As for Acros in Q/L: good question! It appears to be expensive even in Japan (Dead Link Removedhas it at £45+ but that's even more than the UK price once you have paid VAT and duty).


Good luck, Bob.
