If my maths works, you could order 200 feet of film for under 200€, which works out to 0.625 euro cents per exposure, round up to ten cents including losses.. that's not too bad... hassle notwithstanding.

Could probably get it cheaper as well, and that's way overestimating losses.

Wherever from? (Also where are you that uses Euros but also feet?)

I looked up Kodak's pricing because I knew they do sell large spools (though I imagine every film manufacturer does), so they listed it in feet, but I checked the EU pricing, which was given in euros!
