Might I respectfully suggest that you mention where your local camera shop actually is?I am also going to put in a word for my local camera shop "Luton Camera Repairs". Not only do they still have a "wall of film", though greatly reduced from two decades ago, they do film processing on-site and have a huge selection of new and used gear. I popped in yesterday and was really happy to chat with the lady who does the film processing, and to see how much film she'd done by 4pm yesterday. She's been in the film processing business since the mid 70s and recalls the switch from C22 to C41.
If you're ever in the area, the shop is pretty much impossible to miss as you can almost see it from the train station. Head from the train or bus station into town and you'll pass by it. Been there decades, and as their name suggests they repair cameras too....film and digi.

Apologies if mentioning the UK in every post I've made in this thread wasn't enough....
I got just a little bit confused by your references to purchasing from B&H (as well).Apologies if mentioning the UK in every post I've made in this thread wasn't enough....
I thought that you were probably referring to a shop named after a town in the UK, but it could have been here:But I do accept that people not from the UK wouldn't have known from just reading that one post.
I'm trying to figure out my profile. I think I locked it down when I left APUG for a while.
As for B&H, I had thought that I made it clear that I use them when I visit the USA or have family visiting the USA.
Luton is pretty famous in the UK, I find it hard to imagine that anyone British doesn't know roughly where it is....we have one of London's major airports here and are a major commuter hub into London and the Midlands as well as the birthplace of Vauxhall cars. There's even a style of van bodywork named after Luton.
But I do accept that people not from the UK wouldn't have known from just reading that one post.
Perhaps I'm dim but I've not yet found where I can add my location on my profile....I can only claim being busy in mitigation - I literally pop on here in the occasional moment I can get. I had also assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that people might read the entire thread as it's only two pages...where I specifically mention living in the UK and using B&H when I or my people visit.
Now...to look at that profile again before I need to be elsewhere in literally 35 seconds.
... so it seems everyone is saying c41 kits cant be ordered through the mail anymore? Why would that be? When I say blix kit I mean the Joba c41 kits, they were called press kits. I havent got one in some time now. Too long. Im so out of the loop.
