I noticed my stokc of HC-110 is drying up, need to renew and also I'm willing to give a try to a few additional deevlopers such as DD-X, XTOL and Microphen (for Tr-X pushing in particular).
In Israel B&W chemicals become more and more scarce, even in pro shops there are little can be found available on th shelves, mostly tmax developer and rarely even HC-110 (I'm still going to get one here locally though).
I emailed to Adorama inquiring if they will ship chems overeas - they refused. Now I've emailed also to B&H, hopefully will get their response within a day or two.

Are there any other sources for the chemistry who wuold ship overseas ? in US ? In Europe ?

Thanks, Alex
 
Thanks, I see they are in German only..aren't there English version of the site or at least web catalog with price list ?
 
Thanks, downloaded heir English catalog - no any cemistry appears to be there, only films and papers (as well their B&W processing services). Besides, the catalog appears abit overloaded with different information that somehow masks the necessary one (I only need the availability of the product, its price and their shipping rates/policy).

Will check out freestyle...

If your local dealer stocks T-Max developer, couldn't you ask them to order other (Kodak) developers for you?

Unfortunately they will unlikely agree to order something that is only be of interested to one or two potential buyers, besides, such kind of orders (even if they will accept it) may last for few months....

I have the same question, as I also live in Israel. Here is the shipping info page from freestyle:

It appears they do ship overseas.

Michael, we can arrange for an order by few people either frmo B&H (if they ship chemicals overseas) or Freestyle and thereby reduce shipment cost per person.
You may want to PM me in this regard,

Best, Alex
 
alexz if you have the time to do the chems by yourself then you can try www.digitaltruth.com.

I have asked them before if they could send me raw materials and they answered positively (Greece).

It is easy and cheaper than buying them ready. You can find recipes of almost any developer or other photo chemistry in general by using google.

Hope it helps,
Dimitris
