Where to buy Black and Film in Heidelberg

[smdeep]

Hi

Living in Calcutta, India, one is not spoilt for Black and White film choice. A friend of mine is coming to Calcutta from Heidelberg. Germany. I would like to know whether anyone has any information on what Black and White film is available there. Please remember I am from India so cost is defintely a factor.

Thanks in advance
Sudeep

Dear Sudeep,

In 35mm Just about everything will be available, certainly KODAK and ILFORD, and probably AGFA or ROLLEI, may be even some FOMA : Just get your freind
to visit the camera shops in the centre of town.

Hi Simon
Thanks a lot. Have emailed your distributor in New Delhi, India, regarding Ilford availability in Calcutta. Hope to hear from them.

Sudeep, if cost is a factor, I would ask your friend to get the film from an Online store like Nordfoto, Phobatec etc. I once had to buy film in Heidelberg because I forgot to pack some extra film and this was no fun, especially if you know the prices you can get online. IIRC I paid nearly 5 Euros for a HP5plus which is more than 1 Euro more compared to the online store I usually buy film. So the shipping costs are easily compensated.

Thanks Ruediger but my friend is leaving in a couple of days. I will keep this in mind next time someone comes.
