It's $2.69 per 24 exposures then you add 10 dollars shipping If you get around 30 rolls of 24 exposures you pay about $90 and for real Tri-X for a roll of 100' is $99 or $95 for TMax and is free shipping.

When I started I was shooting Fuji 800 and 1600 and very few times 3200 for journalism. I didn't have to pay for any of that at the time since it was provided. Now that I have to pay for it myself, I wanted to find a cheaper alternative so I started shooting Agfa Vista 400 but was looking into shooting better film again. I plan on shooting lots of black and white and develop my own. Already have the equipment since those film days. I plan on shooting lots of film while my M9 is in Germany. Probably lots of Portra 400.

<p>Illford HP5 is $50 USD, that is a better deal but what film is contrasty similar to TriX that is currently cheap?</p>

<p>I was looking at doing my own TriX bulk loading and read that on a 100' Bulk Film Roll that costs $100 USD I can get about 18-20 rolls of 36 exposures. If I do the math that is roughly $5 USD per roll. IF you look at current film prices, a roll of TriX 400 is about $5 USD so where are the savings right now? Did I get something wrong or at this moment is useless to roll your own film?</p>
