Default Parallax Photographic ~ New Dealer

When Silverprint pulled out of London in February 2016 it left something of a gap for film & paper sales south of the Thames, pleased to announce a new dealer is in the process of launching, called Parallax Photographic.

Based in the Photofusion hire lab premises in Brixton, they're aiming to carry all the favourite stuff & some specialities as well.

Looks interesting and glad to see that Foma paper now seems to be available in 100 sheet boxes instead of 10 or 25

Given what may continue to be an adverse trend of the £/euro exchange rate post "Brexit" it may be fortunate that the Czech Republic has no immediate intention of converting to the euro.

Having said that, I wonder what will happen to the £/Czech Koruna rate of exchange over the next few months. I fear that Foma prices may well rise as well

Unfortunately the Euro is the international trading currency in the Czech Republic. At a tourist level it's the Koruna, but my purchases of Foma material from the factory have always been made in Euros.

I'm hoping the HMRC paperwork post-Brexit doesn't go back to previous levels, I still remember the forms that had to be completed back in the 1970's to bring Agfa in from Germany

Thanks Martin. I suspect on balance that is bad news for U.K. Foma users in the coming weeks but who knows? The after-shocks are still affecting us and it may be a few weeks before things settle down

Great news - the more analogue suppliers the better!

Good to see new retailers opening.

The name is a bit of a worry though, does it suggest that what you see is not what you'll get? 😉
