    That works out to about $90.35 after taxes, or 2.80 per sheet of 4X5 (Arseni at Beau says about 32 sheets per kit).


    However,the few labs I've found since in Canada charge from $3 to $4 per sheet, and even the cheapest in the States is $2.50 (before shipping).
    The Tetanal kits weren't available then either, so a 5 Litre kit is looking very attractive right now.

    You will find that it usually isn't feasible to order single items from anywhere other than China. So when you order, it is always best to place a big order. Your shipping price per item goes way down.

    I order two Tetenal C-41 kits every month or so from B&H.
    Total cost, including shipping to Canada and in-store customs brokerage, comes to about $60.
    Obviously, were I to order more quantity, the price per unit would go down.

    Sean - I have some extra 10L E6 chemistry if you are interested and can probably get you set up with the stuff I don't have. Drop me a PM if you are still looking for it.

    It looks like my e-mail settings for the forum aren't set properly, I had no clue people were responding to this. I e-mailed the folks at Beau Photo to see if they can ship E6 to Calgary. I've contacted freestylephoto previously and they told me they won't ship to Canada due to the chemicals being ORMD. The stuff can be shipped ground with the correct paperwork but they don't want to go through the trouble.

    Gord I'll send you a PM.
