Oriental Seagull available???

[david richhart]

I was just going through my wish books, getting ready to order some supplies and I see that Freestyle does not have < Oriental Seagull, graded, fiber based > paper listed in the latest book. It's not listed on the website either. The VC version is still there, but that was not what I wanted! <p>

Freestyle is also missing a lot of the unusual items that made them such a great rescource. Are they abandoning me??? Any other places to find the paper I want??? <p>

Thanks in advance... -Dave

My wife says B&H has it, and I never argue with my wife.

I've bought it from B&H.

Dave: I was there a couple days ago, they do seem to have cut back

on the Seagull varieties in favor of other brands. They have a very

large assortment of papers. As I understand it, things got a little

strained because Freestyle was supposed to have some exclusive right

to market the paper, bought a ton of it in reliance on that, then

found out lots of other people were selling it. (Told to me on a

visit.) I don't remember seeing anything other than VC fiber when I

was there, but since that is what I was there for I didn't look for

anything else.

The U.S. importer for Oriental is a company named

Imageoligists.

They are located in LA

Oriental lists their dealers at the following webpage; however, I

have also seen it at other photo stores not listed:

Dave,

They told me at Freestyle that they were no longer going to carry

Oriental. I did not ask why. They are changing a lot of things there,

cutting out the rental shop, dropping lots of products. It looks like

they are concentrating on film, chemicals, darkroom supplies, inkjet

and other digital media, etc.

Mel Pierce in Hollywood carries Oriental. I don't have the number

handy, so check the yellow pages, call and ask for Mario. If they are

out of stock he can get it for you quickly. Also in LA, Samy's carries

it, although the main store was out of stock last time I was there.

Try calling the Venice store if the main store is out.

Hope this helps.
