Analog film photography and cameras

Jesus wept just looked at the price of Portra 400 now. Fuckin madness.

Ultramax 4eva

Even that’s £8 a roll now unless you can get it in the slightly cheaper 3 packs for £20.

I’ve certainly shot a lot less film this year compared to last year, and have been shooting mostly digital. When I do shoot film it’s a treat now and I’ll shoot Portra, Ektar, Ektachrome, Provia, Fuji Pro and splurge for a hi-res scan.

B&W + homedev and scan is my usual now. I deffo miss colour, but it’s just so bloody expensive now.

I stick to Color plus/c200 and expired. I'd love to support my local lab but the film prices are extortionate so I only pay for my Devs there. Min 2 rolls a month. C200 got really expensive in the UK. Waiting for fotoimpex to restock at €3-4 per roll and my Color Plus is from here https://www.mathersoflancashire.co.uk/camera-film/colour-print-film.html

Doing a massive deep clean of the house ready for moving. Under a pile of dusty books, found an old Olympus XA2. Seems to still be working.

Looking forward to giving it a whirl.

Im not shooting anything right now, Ive had about 6 months now that I havent shot anything since I was on holiday in Jan. Got like 10 rolls to be developed and no interest in even getting them done..

I'm sure this has been answered before so apologies! Anyone got recommendations for a place to get film developed in south London? Ideally somewhere that does b+w, colour negative and slide. Alternatively, happy to post stuff off.

Currently going on a bikepacking Trip with this lovely Konica MR 640 waterproof camera. 2 pounds though... but weight isn’t my concern here. :)

There's a place in Brixton that I know my brother swears by, never used them myself. Dunno if they do slide though.

Also they're apparently not open doors at the moment because Covid

So, around 4 years ago I hid a geocache..... unfortunately it was not accepted by the site (it was in the inter-tidal zone, hence the queen's land, so the site would not allow it), I kind of forgot about it until I went on a walk with the kids and found it.

The Geocache had my last roll of Agfa Vista 200.....

I shot it last weekend and that £1 film was fucking glorious :( I miss it.

Terrific. Great vibes

They're fantastic :)

Exactly what c41 is all about IMO. So good.

They're really nice.

Not £1 a roll, but have you tried Fuji C200? It's essentially the same thing, no?

Ricoh R1 + Lloyds 200 expired 2007

Bargain, one of my favourites pint and shoot!

Absolutely love mine. And the fact that they can still be found for cheap-ish means you won't be overly precious about it, which is probably the most important thing for a P&S IMO.

pint and shoot!

This is how all my best photos come about

Thinking about selling the following, Broncia SQ-M, Olympus Pen D3, Nikonos V and Nikon F6 (just serviced and aperture ring sensor replaced).

Need to free up cash for a £400 Lecia repair bill.....

Will do a for sale thread but PM me if you are interested anything.

Ah fuck, the one you picked up having trouble? Or is this the initial repair you already knew about.
