I don't think that there are any places around here cheaper than B&H.  I
buy a bunch of IR from them every winter (I don't like the thought of
film sitting on hot loading docks), and after comparing prices have
always gone with them.  I did get a good price on Konica 120 elsewhere a
couple of years ago, but it came reticulated.  So much for saving money.
