Lowest price for Tri-X 400 35mm

[Ara Ghajanian]

What is the lowest price you can presently find it for?

I want to order a good quantity, so if I can get a deal for bricks...

Thanks,
Ara

I still say the cheapest way to do 35mm black and white is to buy 50' or 100' spools, get a cheap loader on eBay, get spent cartridges from your local photo shop, get green 35mm splicing tape, and "roll your own".

I'm running out of Tri-X, actually. Last I checked, 50' roll at B&H is about $25 plus ship.

ara, where do you live... north america, eu or elsewhere? i don't like filling cassettes, so i buy my film in bricks. bh and freestyle are good in the us. henry's can be good in canada; as is lens/shutter when buying bulk. depends on where you live though.

The best price I've been able to find is $3.99 per 36 exposure roll. Bulk loading is a good idea if you're not too worried about a roll failing here or there, but I need the reliability of prepackaged film.
