Just buy a bunch of it, B&W film lasts a very long time even under average conditions. It should outlast you if you keep it in the freezer with a few desiccant packets. Might want to go for the 100' rolls. Defrost before use :)
Yep, on my list to get a bulk loader next time some money rolls in.
btw, Tri-X was my first thought too after seeing this headline. Glad to see a few people still have their priorities straight ;)
As long as Ektar and Portra keep rolling onto store shelves I'll be happy.
Ektar is an incredible new stock. That and their new formula 16mm Ektachrome have really impressed me as of late.
