With a Pro-Pack you are paying for USA manufactured professional film
(aged to be at it's peak about when it reaches the store's self) that
the store has promissed Kodak is being stored properly (refrigerated).
Note that B&H does not sell USA manufactured Pro-Packs because they
are not part of Kodak's professional services group (or whatever it is
called).  B&H will not promise Kodak that they won't sell grey market
film.

By the way, at Calumet a Pro-Pack of E200 is cheaper than 5 rolls of
E200.  $25.29 vs. $27.25 ($5.45 * 5)  Both prices would then have
8.25% NY sales tax added.
