    Retail Outlet for Sheet Film in Houston?

    Running short on 4x5 film for an upcoming opportunity to shoot this weekend. Down to a partial box of Tri-X.

    I have tried both the Co-Op and Camera Exchange and they no longer seem to carry sheet film of any kind (I understand about the co-Op).

    Is there any other retail source for sheet film in Houston, besides the usual on-line sources, anymore?

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    Kodak can presumably tell you who their nearest distributor is, but it could take a lot of calls to find the one who serves a local retailer.

    A call to the art department in a major university (or minor college) might lead to an instructor who would know if there is a local stocking distributor. That is how I found Southside Camera, but of course that was in about 1971...

    Overnight from B&H is probably the safest bet.

    I have an unopened box of HP5+, if that helps. I can just order another box in the meantime.

    Otherwise, call local school (Glassell School) or overnight from B&H. Probably will break even between gas (to drive somewhere) and the shipping cost. You can do two-day delivery right now and get it by Friday.
