Ag in Birmingham are charging £4.95 a roll for Rollei 80S in 127 size. Before they started impoting it, I got my rolls from Macodirekt in Germany and at the current exchange rate it worked out to around £5.95 a roll, so I won't be buying it from there again! Though it has to be said they are carrying an amazing range of films in other sizes, many of which seem quite reasonably priced, even at the current exchange rate. There is always a premium for 127 film unfortunately, and currently in the UK the Efke film seems to vary from £3.99 to £4.49 a roll, with usually a discount if you buy 10. There is also an infra red version of it, which is also available in 127. But I have only seen that listed in a few places in Germany and the US.
Regarding Retro, looking at their site, the number of items carried has dramatically dropped. Currently they are reducing their remaining range of Ilford products to, quote, "in order to reduce inventory". If you search the APUG site about them, you will find a thread which contains many tales of woe. My two orders to them, both 3 or more years ago, both had problems which were resolved but didn't install confidence, so personally I won't use them again.
