I buy my Tri-X in the nice yellow boxes, 50 rolls per box, and I think the 
price is around $4/roll (that is Can$ at that). I just wish that Kodak would 
do what Ilford does with the PressPack, the rolls come in small foil pouches 
rather than in plastic cans. The volume of carrying 10-15 rolls in your 
pocket in plastic cans versus foil pouches is noticeable. There seem to be a 
price break with Kodak if you buy either 300 rolls or 600 rolls of Tri-X. I 
cant remember what it is, but even at $0,25/roll it adds up when you multiply 
it by 300 or 600. OK. LUG maybe we should do a bulk purchase of film from 
Kodak, all the Tri-X users get together and buy a 1 years supply at a time. 
That should get us a rather good price in the end.
