And for those lucky enough to live in Berlin/Germany or at least in Europe, you can try the Maco Ortho film, in sizes up to 8x10 at a very reasonable price. They also carry some pancromatic papers (Classic Arts RC Panchro). Try: http://www.fotoimpex.de I watched in the news things are terrible in mid Europe (Prague and Desden was it?) I hope you are OK there.
