I know it is a longshot, but I recently moved to Kazakhstan and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about getting supplies here. I may end up just doing a couple big Freestyle orders per year. I'm a couple hours north of Astana, so it isn't much trouble for me to get down that way once in a while. Anyhow, thanks in advance. (crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath)

not sure if it helps, but i recently found a iso 100 film called NOVA, out of Delhi. interesting thing is that it is supposed to be packaged from ilford. so i am thinking that maybe its a delta 100 film. if you could get it from online perhaps it is much cheaper ?

Raytori aren't you in Singapore? Where did you get that Nova film from? And dogbunny why not get it shipped from HK for you.

You ought to be able to find Chinese "Lucky" brand B+W film there. I really luv it and it's cheap.

Thanks, I will check out NOVA and Lucky. I was working in Hong Kong for three years, but I don't have many connections there anymore. Now the job has me in Kazakhstan for the next 2 years or so. The internet may be the way to go.

Good luck. I expect there are a ton of interesting stuff to photograph there....and we don't many members there (duh).

Hey everyone,
I did some more hunting...the only film in my small town is the sketchy stuff called Kodak Color Plus and Kodak Gold-- both are 200 iso (I've always ove iso 200 film). I seem to remember having good luck with Kodak gold in the past, so I am thinking I may try that one. I'm still working on the B&W stuff but I'm not so worried because of the internet and fedex.
I've always been a sparse shooter, but I'm making an effort to shoot more more more. I think the Kodak Gold is the way to go for the time being--anyone know any different?
