Jim for your interest, count yourself lucky to still have some options over
there and I suspect that bulk purchase from people like BHPhoto will be
more and more common.
Fujifilm down under still currently lists a couple of C41and BW emulsions
and the pro transparency films in 35mm. However the latter has become
astronomically expensive (in fact triple!) BHPhoto prices for no good
reason. With standard processing they can cost you up to $1.45 a frame!
It's enough to drive you to digital...oh wait......
