  I assume you mean 120 film since 220 won't
work in a red window camera.

  Freestyle doesn't appear to currently have
any cheap 120 Velvia. It is $4.49 (or $4.39
at 10 rolls).

  I'll have to keep my eye on their page.

  $2.99 isn't bad. Depending on how much
shipping, customs, tax I'd pay.

  I'm going to start watching these too.
