Stupid deal on portra 160 in 220
« on: May 22, 2014, 04:39:23 PM »
Heads up FWs. I saw this on flickr in the portra group.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004X3UT0Q/ref=sr_1_3_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1400771834&sr=8-3&keywords=kodak+portra+160&condition=new

I picked up 2 boxes. They did confirm in the group that they are pro packs and the film is fresh.

I wish I had something that took 220.

Crazy, ordered a couple boxes. Seems like one of those things that amazon will never ship...will just keep getting emails with "we will let ypu kmow when this product becomes available".

I got june 18-28 for delivery.

I ordered two packs, delivery date June 17-23rd.

For the moment, I have some faith. I ordered 10 packs of the Fujifilm 3000B from Adorama when they were still out of stock and waiting for the last shipment. They kept sending me messages, "Your items are still on backorder." Then one day, a box came with my film. It can actually happen, folks :)

Indeed, it seems it has! Glad I snatched some when I did. And a hearty thanks to you, Tin Tin, for letting us get in on the action!    8)

Very tempting. But once international postage, local import charges et al were added it ended up as expensive as closer to home. US to the rest of the world shipping has really gone up this last year!
