I'm pretty sure you can order direct at shop@kodak. I think there are many folks on this board from around the world who order directly. There are also worldwide shopping links were to buy on the link, but the closest is in the UK. Hope this helps...

You can order Plus-X or Tri-X film directly from Kodak, it is about 7 dollars a roll. I forget the ASA ratings for them but the information shouldn't be too hard to find.

Both Plus-X and Tri-X are $9.90 / cartridge the last time I ordered.

Plus-X is ASA40 for tungsten; ASA50 for daylight.
Tri-X is ASA160 for tungsten; ASA200 for daylight.

Automatic cameras will expose both films correctly for tungsten and over expose both by 1/3 stop in daylight. If shooting in daylight leave the 85 filter switched out. Having the 85 filter in place will not correct the situation. In fact it is possible that your camera will not allow you to switch in the 85 filter when using these films.
