Has anyone got a fresh pack of 4x5 Ektar (10sh) and would be willing to swap for 10 sheets of fresh Velv 50?

Alternatively I would not mind buying the packet off you...

You might consider checking out Walkens House of Film. Their price for per box for Ektar is very reasonable even with the postage included.

Thanks Mark. I can only see 4x5 on there, and have sent them a message regarding 8x10. Do you have other good suggestion for local 4x5/8x10? I would rather support the local community...

Finding 4x5 transparency film is pretty difficult locally and I'm not aware of anyone who stocks 8x10 colour neg or transparency. Perhaps someone else might be able to chime in?

For 4x5 Provia and Velvia 100 you could try Lofico.

There is also pbarcelona on eBay.

No one has ever been able to clearly explain to me is why Fujichrome sheet film is so much more expensive in Australia than overseas compared Kodak and Ilford films. Provia and RVP 100 currently sell for around US$75 per box.

I hope that is of some assistance Marko but if you need 8x10 colour I suspect you will have to look at bringing in from OS.
