I went looking for 120 color film today in Mississauga (basically a Toronto suburb with a population of about 800,000), and in the pro section of a major store was only able to locate a few rolls of Ilford HP5. I was told that the only source of C41 rollfilm in the Toronto area would be at Henry's downtown.
I know it is becoming increasingly difficult to be a film Luddite, but I really cannot believe that there is only ONE store selling 120 colour film in a Metro area of about seven million people! Anyone who knows where film can be had around here, please let me know.
It could be worse- a few months ago I was in a large Ritz Camera outlet in the Minneapolis area, asking for rollfilm. They did not know what that was. Then I asked for some fairly ordinary C41 35mm film. They had discontinued film sales. A few weeks later the store was closed.
Cheers,
Dez

Henrys, Vistek, Downtown Camera, Aden, and I'm sure more in TO
There's also Burlington Camera (Burlington) and Camtech (Hamilton)
I usually buy my C41 in 120 at Burlington Camera. They'll ship it out if you need.

Prices are right. Good varieties. People are patient.

While it's not in the Toronto area, B&H photo in NYC stocks a pretty comprehensive selection of both 35mm and 120 emulsions.

It was actually Vistek that I visited, and they had no C41 rollfilm in Mississauga or downtown. I think there were five rolls of HP5 in the store and I bought two of them. Imagine Vistek sending a customer to Henry's?
I hadn't thought of Burlington, though. Thanks for the info.

+1 for Burlington Camera: always have a good selection of film, B&W and Colour, in 135 and 120.
