Where to buy film in Minneapolis/St. Paul?

Hi all, I'm going back to the home land to visit family next week. Was planning to hand carry my film but considering the recent troubles, am somewhat reluctant.

I'd like to purchase either Ilford HP5+ or Tri-x (400TX) in 35mm as well as Ilford FP4+ in 4x5. Anybody know of a good retailer in the twin cities?

Thanks in advance.

Brad.

Hi, Brad.

You can check National Camera (their Golden Valley store is your best bet):
9300 Olson Memorial Highway
Golden Valley, MN 55427
Phone: 763.546.6831 or 877.600.4497

or West Photo:
21 University Avenue N.E.
Minneapolis, MN 55413
612-379-2321

I generally order everything online these days, since stock has been a problem in the past. You may want to call ahead and make sure they have what you need on hand.

Both have websites: www.natcam.com and www.westphoto.com

Hope this helps!

Other than some labs that also sell film, Michelle has it right. 35mm won't be a problem at either of those locations, but I'd call ahead for 4x5. National Camera has a few locations, but the Golden Valley location is best for 4x5.

If you'd like to order online and have it delivered to my place (I'm in Plymouth, just west of Minneapolis - in fact about 6 min from National Camera) PM me.

I also have some film in the freezer (HP5 35mm, APX100 4x5, some JandC 100), some in-date and some outdated, that you could "borrow" (i.e. replace) if you get in a real crunch or passing through when those stores are closed.

Ah, excellent! Thank you both. I'll call West Photo and National Camera today and see what they have in stock.
