Ben, I think besides Trix over here, its quite difficult to get anything else, unless CP or ruby wants to help u get a roll or two.

Anyway, if you are bulk loading iso 400 film, can count me in as well?

Bulk roll is almost impossible to get in Sg. Ruby or Cathy brings in only upon special request and order and a deposit is necessary. If u r lucky, there have ecess roll with the last order, it's a while stock last case.

I usually get my bulk flim when i travel overseas. eg. in China, they have watever kind of film u want in bulk roll.....serious, film is still big market in China....

Would like to pull in some favours from friends!

TIA

there are 3 major camera equioment market/city in China....Beijing, Shanghai & Guangzhou. Any of these cities you will find them. But for people who do not play with photography, they probably may not know the place becos they're not located in downtown area especially Guangzhou & Beijing ones.

北京五棵松摄相器材中心 - catch MRT to Wu Ke Song 五棵松 station, then 10RMB taxi there, it's within the 五棵松 furniture centre. Close at 6pm or 7pm daily.

They have anything from 35mm to 8x10 LF. Apart from DSLR... huge selection of linhof, leica, Hasselblad and Rollei, and other vintage cameras.

I was qouted a new Mamiya 7ii with 80mm lens for only 12,500 rmb. :bigeyes:

I tried mastercard and amex, all failed. Go there with CASH.

Enjoy!
