Cheapest place to buy 4x5 transparencies in Europe?

[l2oBiN]

Apart from macodirect.de and roberwhite.co.uk, where can I purchase 4x5 transparencies (velvia, provia) in Europe.

A hint on what country you're in would help a lot. Me, being in Germany, I can provide you with some info about German online stores:

Foto Impex (Berlin)
http://www.fotoimpex.de/shop/filme/planfilme/4x5-inch/

Sometimes Amazon will do the trick:
(Velvia 50)
http://www.amazon.de/Fujifilm-Velvia-50-4x5-Blatt/dp/B0010AL98Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1299483590&sr=8-1

(Velvia 100F)
http://www.amazon.de/Fujifilm-Velvia-RVP-100-Blatt/dp/B002IFWP0S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1299483590&sr=8-3

Also, the price comparison site Idealo.de is good:

(Provia)

I have to admit that I mostly order from macodirect.de and secondly fotoimpex.de
They offer good prices and usually deliver quickly.

Calumet also offers 4x5 film, not quite cheap though:

And there's Silverprint.co.uk also offering transparencies in 4x5"

I just bought Velvia and Tmax from Nordfoto http://myworld.ebay.com/nordfoto-versand/

The prices are a little lower than Maco.

This would be the direct link to Nordfoto's official website / the transparency page:

http://www.nordfoto.de/nfvshops/analoge-fotografie-verbrauchsmaterial-filme-farbdiafilme-profi-farbdiafilme.html

Nordfoto may be slightly cheaper than Maco, however Maco only charges EUR 2 shipping for addresses within Germany (don't know about international shipping), while Nordfoto charges about EUR 9. So you'll need to order a few films to compensate the expensive shipping... ( http://www.nordfoto.de/cgi-bin/nfvshop/iboshop.cgi?showbynameVersand,0 )

I am in Sweden. But I am willing to buy frOm anywhere within Europe if it's cheap. Even outside of Europe, if the import + 30% vat beats the European based price. Thank you for the suggestions so far. If anyone gas any more shops it would be great.

Just out of interest, do you/people usually buy in bulk eg. 10+boxes, or a smaller number?

Im in Sweden as well and I have always used Macodirect but lately I started ordering from Adorama instead. You end up with taxes, customs and high shipping costs but its still cheaper as long as you dont do too small orders. Order together with a friend and cut the shipping costs. Not sure about the prices on transparencies thou.

I get all my film from my local UK shop http://www.ag-photographic.co.uk/index.asp

I'm buy it from B&H and also in not to small orders, so it at least for me for 2-3 years of use!
The half of it goes directly into the freezer and the rest is used bevor expired!
I do not get all my film which I like here in Swiss anymore:--(((
