I am just getting all the stuff together to roll my own (so far 42 Leitz
cassettes and 3 Watson loaders). Now I just have to burn through my stock
pile of rolled stuff! I use Tri-X and Provia-F, both of which are available
in bulk. The cheapest I can get Tri-X locally is about $5CAN a roll but
loading my own works out $2.50CAN a roll. I have not priced out bulk Provia
F yet but I am paying just under $10CAN a roll for it right now.
