Cheap 400-speed film UK?

[Steinberg2010]

With the demise of Legacy Pro 400 I was wondering what people have turned to in England as a cheap 400 speed film?

I'm a student and I'm looking to buy some film on a rather strict budget...

I went for XP2 in bulk. Got two hundred foot rolls of the stuff from the States, and it worked out at about £1.30 for each 36exp roll, even with the shipping factored in.

If you can get hold of a bulk film loader on the cheap, you can save a fortune; just keep an eye on ebay for bulk film, and sometimes you can get a good deal. There's some Delta 400 on there now for £65 or so, which works out at about £3.65 a roll.

Kentmere 400 or Rollei RPX 400.

RPX 400 Eur. 2,45 and when buying in bulk 100ft/30,5m around Eur. 2,00. RPX 400 is also available in 120 roll film.

Well ... ironically you can currently buy Ilford HP5+ from Freestyle at $4.59 for two rolls!

Adding all costs like import duties and VAT/TAX will make the transaction less interesting but I agree that Ilford has an extremely low price policy for the USA.

Having just bought 400 rolls to share amongst our Australian RFF brethren I have to wonder just how much of this current windfall they (freestyle) have in stock?
