Going away to Paris over the weekend and looking to pick up some BandW film before then. Had a quick search on Google and most likely seems Calumet Photographic, however their C41 is really quite expensive.

Anyone know anywhere that would stock it at a reasonable price?!

Great post. It was the cost of that XP2 that shocked me too. Ironically it's the only c41 i've shot before, and I was really pleased with the results. (Put a few up in my gallery).

Have you, or anyone else for that matter (!), had a go with the Kodaks of the Fuji Neopan?
 
Neopan 400CN is pretty much the same as XP2, certainly the difference between the films is probably less than the difference between 2 different minilabs, in my experience anyway.

Haven't bothered with the Kodak - I got myself a dev tank and £30 worth of chemicals and processed normal BnW myself instead. If I'm going to be away from home, and wanting to see my BnW shots, I've half a dozen rolls of 400CN that I dip into, but otherwise it's normal BnW all the way.
 
Get yourself down to Boots, most of the larger branches still stock C41 b&w and they were doing 3 for 2 last time I was in there.
