  Lee,
    Try your local Wal-Mart.  Most Wal-Mart stores carry TMax 100 and
400 as well as the new TMax 400CN.  The 400CN is a chromogenic black and
white film that can be developed in any one hour lab.  The prints are on
color paper, and may have a slight color cast, but they are good for
proofing, and you can print the negs in any BW darkroom on regular BW
paper.  It's good, sharp film.

    Any decent sized camera store should have a larger variety of films,
and you can always order by mail through some of the places advertised
in photo mags.  A friend of mine orders all her film through B&H.

    Hope this helps!
