Hi Keith,
Just wondering how you organise buys like this? Would not mind trying this amongst the Kiwis sometime ...

Still keen Keith, or were there not enough orders?

The best camera is one that still works!
I think we're good ... I'll close it off tomorrow night and put the order through and it should be here in a week hopefully.
I wasn't too concerned about the size of the order ... I just think it's a good idea whenever anyone of us from downunder deals with Freestyle to give a 'hoi' on the forum before placing their order if they have space to keep it under the $1000.00 ceiling before GST hits!

Oh sorry, I wasn't giving you a hurry-up or anything. Cool bananas. $NZ400 GST ceiling over here >.< Hopefully my Maco Direct order of Foma paper and Efke film has snuck through!

Oh yes ... and as I hoped the Oz dollar has climbed a couple of cents in the last few days.

Last chance .... putting the order through in a couple of hours!
It's up to around $720.00 US so there's a little room for a few extras ... I'll wait 'til 10.30 PM Oz time to finalise!

Oh... I meant to add ...

Is that all! You did get my PM about 4x100ft rolls, right?
Man... you Aussies need to pull your finger out... 35mm Tri-X is God's film! It's a shame they don't offer Adox CHS in bulk rolls, all that Freestyle has is 36 exposure cartridges, otherwise I would've liked to top up a bit of that $720 figure. It looks like an interesting film.

Count me out. I want Tri X in 120 but they're out of stock.
Thanks anyway.

The order is on the way and should be here in a few days!
Strangely the price of getting it here was cheaper via fedex than USPS ... I can't quite work out why that should be but it has an advantage in that the shipment is automatically covered insurance wise!
Aside from the 1000 feet of Arista premium 400, I finished up getting 50 thirty six exp rolls of the stuff along with 50 thirty six exp rolls of Legacy Pro 400.
My freezer should look rather nice!

Cheers Keith! Absolute pleasure to meet you. Wish I could've chatted longer but had to jump back on the train.
Already spooled up 3 cartridges and shot one, knew it was a good idea bringing the changing bag and some empty cartridges with me to Aus!
Thanks once again, dealing with the hassle of organising the rest of us.

Always a pleasure to meet a fellow RFFer Tom ... especially one from 'across the ditch!'
Where I was born of course!
