Re: NO Konica IR750 in Canada... -Reply -Reply

["Timothy E. Coffer" <COFFER.TIM@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

B&H's price on the 35mm is around $8US, which is considerably higher
than Adorama and that ad I mentioned with the 10 roll minimum. Typically,
the 35mm is $6/roll and the 120 is $5.50/roll, US dollars. If Canadians can
get it cheaper when they can get it, I'll order from youz guys up north!

Actually, no reason at all.  It's just convient being able to pick up stock
locally.  At $8 a roll CDN, which is what I last paid, it also worked out
to be cheaper (if the ads in Shutterbug are any indication at $8-$10US
per
roll - please let me know if I'm incorrect here).

Alas it looks like this may be the only option.

Cheers,
Roger...
