    cheapest place for tri-x 400 sheets?

    I'm looking to buy some tri-x 400 in 4x5" but don't know where's the cheapest place to buy it. Digital truth have the 320 stuff for $60, half the price it is to buy in the uk. They also have efke infrared film for a decent price which ive been shooting alot of 120 with and really enjoying using. They seem to post worldwide, is that correct? I'm used to using HP5 but want to try something different. They also have tmax 400 which is another option. I shot one roll of that in 35mm a while ago and remember not liking it for some reason. hmmm Any personal thoughts?

    What specifically didn't you like about TMAX 400? Just curious.
    WYSIWYG - At least that's my goal.

    Yeah it does, at £60.97 for 50 sheets from silverprint :o So it's a choice of £60.97 for 50 sheets of 400 or $60, more like £30 for the 320. I could just stick with Ilford with 7dayshop which is dirt cheap but there isn't the option of getting infrared with the same order

    Don't remember what I didn't like about Tmax, I shot one roll of film with it so I've hardly got any reason not to like it. It seemed flatter compared to delta 400 maybe, I was dumb and inexperienced, still am really.

    Hate to be a killjoy, but there is only Tri-X 320 in sheets. Silverprint just forgot to specify that, and lumped Tri-X 400 together with the 320.

    There is no 400TX in sheet films, at least according to these Kodak guys, whoever they may be.
