7dayshop.co.uk sell them 5 for 2.75GBPt add 1.95GBPprox for p&p. If you add it 
to an order for paper or rechargeable AAs for the T32, or if you have a 
battery-guzzler and buy them in bulk, the p&p becomes much more acceptable. 
 
They also do Agfa Scala for the cheapest I've seen. Delivery can be a bit slow. 
 
And they do that fab Hama back-bag for about 18GBP which has got to be great 
value (takes an E20 with all 4 accessory lenses easily)
