I am going to place a film and chem order at macodirect.de

If you would like to join me so we could split the shipping cost send me a pm.

If you check their catalogue keep in mind that you may deduct 19% vat.

I am in Melbourne Victoria.

cheers,

Wim
 
Your post caught my attention as I was about to post the same thing. (Looking to get some Agfa APX 100.) Unfortunately, I'm in Baltimore, Maryland, USA...
 
Sorry for going OOT, but any specific reasons to choose Maco over Freestyle? I live in Jakarta, Indonesia, and just placed a small order on Freestyle. Their shipping seems reasonable for me. And also I didn't realize non EU residence can deduct 19% from Maco prices. Please share your thoughts, maybe next time I'll try ordering from Maco. Thanks!
 
Wim,

The film prices seem more expensive than B&H. Any particular reason to chose a European dealer?

Cheers - John
 
tri-x 120 5 roll, Maco $21 us / B&H $ 24.75 us
T-max 120 5 roll, Maco $20.25 us / B&H $ 22.50 us
R09 (Rodinal) 500ml, Maco $10 us / B&H $ 14 us

You should deduct 19% of the prices on the site; the vat (European gst). You buy tax free.
 
And as I just noticed R09 can not be shipped to OZ by B&H.

Our local heroes at Vanbar will sell you R09 for a measly $ 21 au and 5 rolls of T-max for $35 so it is worth while for me ;-)

Cheers,

Wim

Ok, you got me :)

I don't buy the Kodak films. I've been buying Acros 100 120 5 roll for 16.25 US at B&H. You are right about the chemicals too. I've tried with B&H before and failed.

Let me have another look at catalogue. I've been using Adox Adanol from Vanbar in Sydney. Is that the R09 you mention? $10 would be great.

How long before you buy?

Cheers - John
 
i do quite a bit of purchase from Maco, Freestyle, Ultrafine and some from B&H.

Freestyle is inexpensive but Rodinal can't ship by air. The FIMS shipping option is cheapest i found. eg. shipping to singapore for 20 rolls of film is only usd 12. of coss it takes 2-3 weeks to deliver.

Maco Direct has a good selection of Rodinal but has a minimum spend. The DHL from Germany to Singapore is the fastest (less than a week).

B&H has some of the cheapest film around but is frequently out of stock.
