EUR 10.50 each !! I'm paying them US$ 7.99 (23% VAT included), which would
be EUR 6.84 here.
No wonder why people travelling to Europe buy film before leaving. During my
reversal film quest, I went to Agfa main distributor so as to get info about
AgfaVista (after seeing GeeBee's beautiful pictures and results on this
film) and they told me they had run out of AgfaVista 100 because someone
bought all their stock before leaving.

Yes, that's what I've read so far but never tried. I am intuitively prone to
fear what Winsor stated 'freezing might somehow damage film
because of crystaliization,'. But since there's no evidence on this, I'll
think I'll be freezing part of my stock at -20, and another small part at +5
Celsius.

I'm sorry to point this out, but it seems I was right on my previous post
regarding getting obsessed about something resulting in some unforeseeable
damage. In fact, my grandmother used to quote some popular Spanish saying on
this. Right now I'm going to clean a little dust on the prism, after
removing my new 1-10... :-)
