Mark,

Go to B&H and order the gray market film. As far as I have ever known it is just as fresh as the other films. So, it really doesn't need a guarantee, and processors don't seem to care which market it belongs in.

Gregg

Absolutely . . .
Local prices on Portra are also about $8.00 per roll. B&H current "dead tree" catalog price per roll for 135-36 "import" is $3.39 and $5.75 for "USA-R" which is the most expensive Kodak pro film (USA-R = USA market with "pro rewards" and you're actually paying for the rewards).

Buy it in quantity of 5 rolls or more to amortize shipping cost. B&H film prices are so low I stopped buying film locally unless there's a very immediate need for something not in the refrigerator.
