After seeing your price (I expected it is AUD), I think I am very lucky
that I live in Hong Kong. The price here for E6 D only at Fuji center is
around HKD30 (AUD6), for an independent professional lab. a 2-hours E6 D
only just cost you HKD19(AUD3.8). And I just bought three rolls of
special priced Sensia 100 at HKD20(AUD4) each, but they are five months
to expire.
