Fotoimpex

Fotoimpex - it's not serious. They want $70+shipping for 10 sheets of T-MAX 8x10.

But if ordered from B&H including shipping to Europe and import tax will be $68 total.

Any other normal mail-order stores?

Don't shoot the messenger. You didn't specify price.

Following that line of reasoning...have you priced 8x10 film Freestyle?

Follow up:

Even in the US, TMX and TMY are the most expensive films we can buy. Have you priced Foma, Adox or Efke film? In the US, Freestyle sells Foma film very cheap.

I'm in US. I buy Tri-X from B&H for $41.95 + shipping, it's the cheapest place for Tri-X in US.

So I need to found the same reputable source of 8x10 film in Europe, once I travel and live in Europe.

Load up and take it with you.

My apologies for shooting :) I prefer to shoot 8x10 film and digital, not persons. My apologies again.

Fomapan 100 10x8" (50 sheets for 59 GBP) from http://www.retrophotographic.com/ Just over a quid per sheet and beautiful film too!

HP5+ 10x8" (25 sheets for 48 GBP + 15% VAT) from http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/default.asp I cant find anyone to beat them on price for film. They dont stock Kodak products.

I've been pleased with my dealings with both companies and there's no import duty to pay for EU shipping.

I use Maco Direct and they do sell B&W 8x10, forgot to check on color. I have purchased from them and shipping within Germany is 1euro. I order stuff and I get it 3 days later. Very easy to order from, online CC or paypal, will even take bank draft if your account is set up for that.

Highly recommended.

Yea, nothing beats the UK for Ilford's film prices in Europe. You could also check Silverprint (http://www.silverprint.co.uk/Catalogue.asp?PrGrp=2). They have a great variety, including Kodak products.

France is pretty much a no go place to buy almost anything related to photography; Except some sweet deals found at times in shops like ADAFLEX or for the smaller format digital geared at Digit-Photo.
Just think about what we have to endure when ordering View Camera magazine from TAOS photographic, the sole distributer in Europe... deadly expensive :(

Actually, you can also order View Camera magazine from Mike Walker in the UK http://www.walkercameras.com/a_VC.html.

Thanks a lot Joanna. When I made my subscription more than 6 months ago, I'm almost certain that it was mandatory to go along with TAOS.
It's nice to now that there's another choice now :)

In the fairly recent past and although it's against European law (what isn't?) Fotoimpex have refused my requests to send film to me here in the UK. I know that others have had more luck but they wouldn't do it for me. They told me to go to Retrophotographic (have you tried to deal with this company?) or Silverprint, a great company but they just didn't stock the sizes that I wanted.
