How much do you pay in the US for a box of 25 sheets of basic BW film ?
I recently paid 25 EUR ( approx 30 USD ) for a box of Ilford 125 here in Belgium.
I'd love to compare.
Thanks.

It would help if you specified the size. Are you asking about 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" (6x9 cm), 4" x 5", 5" x 7" or 8" x 10"

Adorama (New York City) lists 25 sheets of Ilford "HP5" 4x5 for $24.09, and 100 sheets for $79.95. Kodak "T-Max 400" 4x5 in 50-sheet boxes goes for $46.95 a box. In other words, a little under $1 a sheet for the smallest lot, and discounting for larger volumes.

It's kind of scary to see how little B&W sheetfilm remains on the market, at any price!
