I think you base your calculations on 100ft rolls, nearly 20 x 36'er 
length, $9. 150ft should be nearly 30 x 36'er, $6.

I doubt whether the argument of being able to use short films is 
convincing for anyone, considering the hassle with dark loading, both 
cartridge and camera.

Btw, I almost assume that EIR is available in bulk too, right?
Never seen data on 35mm bulk, neither old nor new emulsion.
Anyone ever digged for info on this?
