Where to buy bulk B&W in the Netherlands

[HuubL]

I've acquired a couple of Leica film cassettes and wanted to try loading them myself. The last time I loaded films from bulk was some 20 years ago and still have some bulk FP4 left from that era. I'm afraid that it's unusable now and I want to buy fresh B&W bulk film. Anybody from the Netherlans knows where I can order some? I found a site in the UK (Silverprint) but they charge 14 UKP shipping.
Thanks for your input!

Utrecht has a couple of likely places in the pedestrianised centre, between the station and the canal, but I have not looked for bulk film there.

Just over the border, Antwerp has some good possibilities too. Details not available until I get home.

Otherwise, you could try these online shops, but there must be a retail-outlet somewhere in Amsterdam at least ?

Of course, please keep us posted about the success (or otherwise) of your hunt !

I'd go for Fotohuis Rovo, he's a very friendly guy and offers great advice over at APUG but I don't know how much bulk film he carries.

Otherwise German Fotoimpex is a great store with catalogues in German or English.

Bedankt heren (Thanks guys),
I just checked RoVo. They sell Fomapan 100, 400 and 200T in 30' bulk. I understood Fomapan is good quality. I wonder what the T stands for in the 200T film. Any suggestions for developer?

Some people suggest that 200T is a T-grain film but that has been denied by the factory. Most people seem to agree that EI200 is an optimistic rating, EI100-125 is more reasonable. I got a bulk roll of it but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Here is an APUG thread on 200T and a more general thread on Foma B&W materials.

Fomapan 100 has been suggested as a replacement for APX100. I don't know anything about Fomapan 400.

D76 or Rodinal should be fine, these are classic type emulsion films.
