idk if thats good or bad lol

thats about the same as here. welcome to the money pit

San Diego. Ektacolor Pro 400 $20.49, Tri-X $14.99.

For what it's worth, prices have been a lot flatter this year than the last two. The February jump was the big one, and since then it's been pennies here and there. Silver's the thing to watch. If that moves again, so does everything in the freezer aisle.

Heard Ilford have reworked Delta 400... no idea what it'll cost yet but I'll be first in the queue, as ever. Has anyone actually seen it on a shelf? Or is it one of those things that exists only on the internet for six months?

September update for the thread: Ektacolor Pro 400 £18.99 (+49p since Feb), Gold £10.50, HP5 £9.80. Freezer has six rolls left so I'm about to find out what panic buying feels like
