armando_alvarez Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 <p>I've been doing research and the best price I've found for these <strong>220 160NC</strong> pro packs of <strong>20</strong> is through ebay sellers. Anyone else have any recommendations? BH and Adorama sell them for about $180.00. I'm assuming that's the best it can get but I'd much rather buy this pack as opposed to buying individual 5-packs per box at a time.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_mont Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 <p>I think it would come out to about $170 through Freestyle Photo but you would have to buy 5-Packs</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibz Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 <p>Ask kodak? Adorama is the cheapest brand name film I've found.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdm Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 <p>how much are you paying through ebay sellers? and is the film short dated?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armando_alvarez Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 <p>Well, the ebay sellers generally will have shorter expiration dates, but that isn't much of a problem for me since I shoot pretty often. There's a place named Hunt's Photo on ebay that sells 20 roll packs for a reasonable price. <br> B&H prices go up and down by about $5-$10 USD depending on whether they offer "free" shipping or not. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_shearman1 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 <p>I would never buy film through ebay unless it's something hard to find like 110/126 or something no longer made. You have no idea how it's been stored, whether it's legitimate U.S. product or something that's been shipped to Europe and back, if it "fell off a truck," etc. B&H and Adorama generally have the best prices. Buying a full pack isn't an issue -- they get it in pack quantities or larger and only break them down to five-packs for people who are only buying five or 10. They can give it to you in pack packaging if that's the quantity you're buying, and often will do it even without being asked. Pricing is the same since they've already discounted to the bone.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
