    I was trying to find out the same thing, a little while ago... its like trying to find the holy grail unfortunately Id suggest calling up someone like Orms, seen as though they still develop 120 film, and the likes... they may be able to source a supplier for you.

    [edit] 100ASA? 120, 220, 35mm?

    I have been doing this for the past few months, and find it so rewarding!

    Orms do stock darkroom supplies, but please please PM me for more details.

    I can't help with this, but you seem to have a link to a source above.

    Changed days. I grew up in a small town in Scotland, and there were at least two shops that sold basic darkroom consumables when I was a teenager. I seem to remember that the chemist (pharmacy) sold some of this stuff too, but I could be wrong, 40 years down the track! Everything else, including bulk film, could be mail ordered and delivered in a couple of days.

    Try the Beith Digital photo lab, if they don't have in stock they'll get it for you.

    Just looked at the local prices - they are a joke.Why dont you mix up you own. Tons of formulae at
    http://www.photoformulary.com
    I would go for the PMK formula (very stable for occasional use) at
