I was in a neighborhood camera store near the US Consulate in Amsterdam 
this morning, because they do passport photos there that meet US specs, 
and I needed to renew my son's passport. Much to my surprise, the store 
had a reasonable selection of MF film, but in 35mm the only B&W was 
Ilford XP 2. They probably had not restocked for a while...
