quote who= Nick Zentena /:
Depends on what you buy. I've gotten stuff from Photoco that was cheaper then anyplace else in North America. She got me a flash cable for a very good price. Some of the other stuff is very good but with the US$ getting weaker the prices are closer. I buy almost everything but hardware from her. It's mostly film and chemicals. What I like about Photoco is they know me and will get whatever I want and call me when it arrives. What normally kills the deal for me in regards to buying film from the US is the shipping. It pretty well negates whatever savings were to be had. I purposely buy from Photoco just to support the local joint that sells B&W materials.. But you know, the reason why she sells so much B&W is because the local College still makes their students shoot B&W. Once John Abbott switches to full digital, I'm not entirely sure Photoco will keep up their stocks. They told me sales of B&W drops like a rock in the summer.. J -- Justin F.

For colour the Photoco price last I checked was cheaper in C$ then anybody in US$. So a big saving. For sheet film I've been ordering from the US just because the stuff can be so expensive on this side. Nick |
