    The price of 8x10 HP-5+...

    ..is all over the place! $79 at B and H, $81 at Badger Graphic and over $100 at Freestyle! I knew about the announcement that the price was going up, but I don't remember seeingthis great of a difference. Is B and H and Badger still selling old stock and Freestyle's pricing a taste of things to come?

    My guess is the answer to your last question is yes.

    Freestyle film prices are waaay high, at least for the B&W emulsions I've checked.

    B&H won't be far behind. Just get used to it. Raw materials, especially the polyester
    base stock, have gone way up. Once their inventory rotates, or once they see their
    competition is higher, they'll adjust too.

    Bostick & Sullivan $81.49. I think it is a good idea to support places like B&S and Badger because they are relatively small and we here and on Apug are a significant part of their market. If they do well they will have the products we want when we want them. We need each other.

    In fact i use all of those 3 online places, i bought many stuff since 2006 from B&H, then i started to use Freestyle last year when i started to shoot film, and this year i tried Badger Graphic and i ordered 3 times in about 1-2 months, i am now in bad budget economic situations but i listed many items on all those 4 places for soon orders i hope.

    I don't know. I just tried it again and it worked fine. Could be some security setting on your computer.

    Try Googling "Bostick & Sullivan" (with the double quotes) and you should get their site as the first hit.
