where to buy film

February 25th, 2011
my dad has said i can have his canon A1 slr to experiment with,i will work in b&w i think so need to find a reputable supplier of film that isn't going to cost me a fortune

I always get mine off eBay. Even the expired stock works well :)

@sallycheese I can buy film in my local pound shop ( 1 pound = 1.5 USD) where are you based?
February 25th, 2011
in the uk,not sure if our pound shops stock film anymore,i know they used to

@sallycheese You might want to try Amazon. Craig is right, out of date (expired) b/w film works just fine.

@rbobh69 @bekki @craigdtull thanks,will browse and check which is cheapest to use while i get the hang of it again, it will be a challenge to get the shot with no option of editing

@sallycheese No problem! You can still edit the shots, you just have a few more steps to take. I've had a blast going through my 'pile 'o pictures' and using Photoshop on them!

@rbobh69 i can't work photoshop,it's usefulness is wasted on me,i can't even put the pics on disc to transfer as my netbook doesn't have a disc drive,there will be enough steps to take just to get the pics to here lol

@sallycheese Completely understood, believe me! You're gonna have a blast with that camera!

@rbobh69 i know i'm so excited to finally get my hands on it,my dad has quite a collection of lenses and filters aswell,none of which will fit on my nikon knowing my luck ;)

@sallycheese its our poundland specifically that sells kodak 200 24 exp film, I just bought 4 rolls last week as I bought a canon eos 500 and a Kodak S100 EF I am taking a roll to be developed at boots tomorrow , no mail order services are much cheaper than the shops after postage . I think boots do 1 hour for £5.99, truprint inc p&p per film is £5 :) hope all this helps and good luck with film
