Here (in Australia) a 24exp roll of FP4+ is about $6.80. A 30M roll of FP4+ cost me $66. I'll get about 28 rolls of 24exp out of the bulk roll which works out to be $2.35 a roll. A fair saving. Of course you need a bulk loader and some reusable cassettes as well! A far as dust and scratches go, I've never had a problem. Other than the cost issues, I like the ability to do short rolls (10exp) and always have lots of film available.(posted 9019 days ago)Cheers, Nige
