Default Advice for finding discontinued film


"HeroOfSpielburg" wrote in message

Hello,

I'm particularly fond of Konica Minolta Centuria Super NH, a big part
of it may be that I have a DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II and the two go
together so well. Unfortunately, since Konica Minolta is out of the
film business, I've been having a hard time finding left over stock. I
did a little nosing around on Google and found some that seems to be
for sale from the site PhotoSuperia.com. However, the site's English
is a little dodgy and like a lot of photographic supply vendors owned
by some other holding firm with a physical address in Brooklyn
(maybe).

I've never bought anything from a photography speciality site before,
and I was just wondering if in general these places are fairly
reputable, or often sham businesses and risky to give a CC# to. If
there's any other place someone can recommend for finding discontinued
film in bulk, I'd be very much obliged!

Thank you for the advice!
The Google map site finds no

such address in Brooklyn and PhotoSuperia is listed in Manhattan under 47 st
Photo, which I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw them. But 47st Photo
does have a ware house in Brooklyn on Court St, which is nowhere near
Willoughby Ave. I'd forget it. Bob Hickey
