Whether distributors pass on the price increase, we’ll have to wait and see. Increase comes into effect 16/10/2020.

Kodak, too (or at least somewhere in their distribution chain).

Bought a roll of TMax400 120 this week, locally - price was $9.99. Six months ago, it was $7.99.

That would approximately equal the combined Harman increases under Covid (15% in May, another 5% now).

But that's not 5%, this is 12% and more.

The result of increasing the price of film, especially in the period of Covid, may well follow the law of diminishing return.
If youngsters taking up film are part of the growth, then job uncertainty and falling wages, at best, could spell troubling times ahead for the sustainability of the analogue industry.

For the present, I’m glad my fridge is well stocked.

I have no idea what you are saying. What are "that" and "this?"

May increase was on chemicals and other sundries, October one is on films and papers but yes everything is getting more expensive. I hope that won’t hurt their overall books

Well -  I'm not a native speaker. So I'm sorry if I've said something in a wrong way.
All I want to say is that the increase from the old to the new prices mentioned here is much more then 5%.

Hope someone is now able to understand what I mean, or can point out how it's said correctly.

Sorry Adan, I haven’t seen May increase on films from my shop, prices were the same since the beginning of the year till now. Maybe my shop has digested May increase increase but have decided to reflect October one on the prices.

Apologies
