Not true at all, unless B&H have warehousing in Binghampton NY, and a totally dedicated ordering and invoicing system set up for Ilford. Microphen WAS briefly removed from the catalog while packaging was changed to reflect updated Canadian regulations. It is back now, in a bigger box to fit all the warning text. I have it in stock again. You have to buy eight boxes at a time, so maybe that's what your local guy is balking at, if they don't think they can sell seven other boxes. Ilford Canada is basically an ordering and sales team. The warehousing is done in the US, by Ilford. Sadly, their delivery time is about the same as Agfa's, and Agfa do their warehousing in Canada, less than an hour from where my store is. > This is the same pro shop that doesn't stock prime focal length > lenses at all.
