It's funny, but I was just perusing B&H's film section and saw that Velvia
on the special page they have. My guess is it'll be all right for a year or
so after the expiration date, so you ought to be okay. Re grey market film
goods: some people are quite anal about receiving only film made to be
marketed in the USA. What you'll buy from the grey market is film meant for
foreign distribution but sold here anyway. I've bought a lot of it over the
years and it has always come with two or three or four years grace with re
to the expiration date. It's always been first-class film, too. Having said
that, I just ordered some Impresa 50 that I plan to use on my vacation for
"studied" work, and as it turns out I paid a bit extra for the stuff marked
"USA." <g>

I'm sure this has been covered over and over, but....
B&H has some Velvia that expires on 08/01.
If I plan on using it in the next four months, is there any reason why I
shouldn't get it instead of the regular priced stuff?
...and what about USA vs. grey market on film?
