Yes, it's pretty expensive here. Velvia is the more expensive (A friend of
mine buys it for 12 usd a roll but it's "caducated", out of date).
Provia is about 12 usd. Sensia II about 8 usd. The cheapest slide film is
CT Precisa for 4 bucks a roll.
Neg film is cheaper. Supra is 4, 5 and 7 usd a roll (100, 400 and 800),
Portra about the same, T-max about the same. The cheapest is the Agfa Vista
100 in "por pack" (without cardbox, just the canister) for less than 3 usd.
Development: I pay 9.90 for development plus 36 4x6 prints and a 6x9
enlargement, in a decent minilab, attended by the owner, who is a
photographer. He works very well, filtering if needed (not leaving the
machine in auto). He even does some cross-printing at regular price for us
his loyal customers. In other places it goes from 10 usd to 18 usd for the
same basic service (the more expensive is the "Kodak Express")
Camera equipment, bought new is about NYC prices x2 or more (ie MZM kit is
about 400 to 450 usd). Used equipment is expensive too.

PS: The prices of rolls is from a big distributor's store. The prices are
higher at photo stores and drugstores.
////////////
$16usd is pretty expensive for Velvia. Here in Australia prices for film
are
pretty expensive, but Velvia is only $17au ($9usd) for a 36 roll and a$12au
for a 24.
That doesnt include developing.
