That's the price in Sweden (Scandinavianphoto) almost right down to the
penny.

Bulk loading is more expensive (for us) so it doesn't make sense. 100 feet
costs $80. Doing the math (19 rolls): = $4.20 a roll (and you have to buy
and clean cassettes and a loader).

Neopan costs more: $4.50 a roll if you buy more than 10.

Sorry ... I just checked. Tri-X went up about 25 cents so it's a little
more expensive than what I thought. (Expensive, expensive ... a roll costs
less than a pack of cigarettes ... and I don't smoke, so I'm saving all
kinds of cash).
