Tom,

That's serious. The laws of supply and demand at work again. Maybe 
you should take out two sheets of film when you go out with your 
camera.

It would be strange if Forte is indeed the same film stock as 
Bergger, strange but possible.....

Forte is cheaper than Bergger here in the UK.

 From what was reported earlier from the film review, there is not a 
lot of difference between the films so Forte becomes rather 
attractive.

Cheers,
