Probably is just generic C-41...

Though watch out for film by Seattle Filmworks (if I remember)...
They used to re-spool movie film ECN-2 which is not compatible with anything.

Film is the vinyl record of photography.

I'm with Andrea. I like Porter beer too...especially good during the winter months. Never heard of the film.

You look just as happy as me when last year I got a bunch of rolls of "process included" film from my grocery store for less than the price of processing!

I calculated that they actually pay me 60 cents for every roll I shoot :)

Best part is that they have one of the best photo labs in the city  ;D
