Here in the Netherlands, I have no difficulty at all finding MF film--the good camera shops in bigger cities like Amsterdam, Utrecht or Eindhoven have a pretty good selection, and even the shop in the small town of Zaltbommel (that is the town by the river from which I often post pictures), with a population of no more than 10,000, has MF film, albeit only one kind (Kodak chromogenic B&W). I am going to Switzerland today for a few days, and am taking my Hasselblad outfit and my DSLR outfit. The Hassy for taking landscape pictures on tripod, and the DSLR for the rest.
