Hi, Jean-Claude,

	Thanks for your post on film retail prices in Paris...

> Watch the prices. I don't know how much films cost in US but here a 135/36
> Velvia roll is 69 FFR (10.5 EURO or $11 to $12).

	At Samy's in Los Angeles 135/36 Velvia is on sale at $9.44. The 20-roll
pro-pack is $139. 
	Darkroom Innovations (not local, look for 'em on the web) has 135/36
TMax 400 at $5.05, Tri-X at $4.13, TMax 3200 at $6.23, Delta 3200 at $5.31 and
Delta 400 at $5.15.

	I have a non-photographer friend living near Paris. I'll ask her to
check the store's prices and materials available. 

	Thanks for the advice!
