IMO, the film makers will get their "pound of flesh" at one point or
another. While the ratio you cite sounds a tad high, it's been my
experience that color negative film is cheap, but they collect their $$$ on
the printing end of it. 35mm transparency film is roughly 3X the cost, but
the developing and slide mounting is much cheaper, which means they're
collecting their $$$ at the front end when you buy the film. My conspiracy
theory for the week.
More seriously, think about Fuji's Reala too.

Film??? I can't find much slide film around here, and also, slide film is
about 4x as much as print film here, I don't know why.. So I'm down to
print film as choices.. Recommendations?
I'm thinking Fuji Superia 100??
