Every time I use I realize why I like Tri-X. Your best bet for finding some is to talk to your local cine' lab. I have never found a commercial source for smaller volumes. It is OK if you want to buy 20-30000 ft of it. Most of my supply comes from friendly film processing places, often they run clip tests on the film, they get 400-500 ft, test a 100 ft strip and if you are very nice they will give the rest to you!!! Some of the moviestock have a slight change in the pitch on the sprockets and can jam if you are not careful. Never had a problem with the M's, but in my Horizon 202 ( russian panorama) the moviestock jams up after 4-5 ft has gone through. The one film I want to try is a Kodak Release film, ASA 0,1 but resolving power of 1000 lpmm at normal contrast. Ok, for a day on the beach with a Noctilux wide open on a tripod!!! Tom A
