Hello Clive,

Very kind of you to call with Silverprint. 

With 4 to 5 boxes of consumption a year one can hardly qualify me as someone that will order it regularly. Maybe the Readyloads wet my appetite to shoot more 4x5... loading filmholders and fighting dust puts me off a little.

Actually I've found a shop in Paris, www.prophot.fr, a friendly frenchman gave me the hint and as you, he called the shop to make some inquiries about readyloaded TMAX 100. They stock Readyloads and it should be available all the time. The shop is looking into the shipping costs, in a few days I expect to receive a quotation.

As I live at travelling distance from Paris (approx. 275 miles, to make an understatement) I'll probably drive to Paris next month to buy a few boxes. Also because they sell a few items that I would also like to give a try.

Again, thanks Clive, it's appreciated,

Huib
