Film $$$

This weekend I visited a town near the California coast where I used to live and the mom & pop photo store that was one of my favorite haunts. I needed film and decided I wanted to give them my business rather than ordering online. I was surprised to see a very good selection of film…Kodak, Fuji, Ilford and Cinestill. They had just received pro packs of Kodak Portra 400. Last time I checked the price of Portra 400 pro packs, they were $78. This weekend, at the local store, they were $120! Needless to say, I did not buy the Portra. However, what you see below was $107. Film photography is getting very expensive.
