Very reasonable prices, they ship fresh stock from Gurnsey. Limited range but if they have what you want I havent found a cheaper source. http://www.7dayshop.com/acatalog/7dayshop_com_Camera_Food_19.html Best Jason Hall - ----- Original Message ----- From: "BT" <smpat@btinternet.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 8:17 AM Subject: [Leica] Colour negative film Here in the UK, there is a Kodak film called Ultra. It is ISO 400, but is currently being reformulated and repackaged and will be ISO 640 (although, as a consumer film, the only ISO making is on the cassette). It sells (in quantity) for about £2 (US$3) for a 36 exp. roll. I usually buy it in the "duty free" as I travel through an airport. This film is made in the EU (not sure where) and I find it a great all-rounder. I used to use Kodak's ISO 200 US products, as the grain of the 400s was still objectionable. No such complaints with Ultra. Please note this is just a film I use for general purposes. In such use, I am a chauvinistic Kodak user (in respect for the many years of support they provided me professionally) so I cannot compare to other films directly. Steve Patriquen London
