Topic: cheap film in UK

[Townheadbluesboy]

For UK folk  - 7dayshop.com have some good offers on expired colour print film at the moment.  Also, my 14 year old son has become interested in Polaroid photography (good timing!) - some Boots -  the high street chemist - sell 600 film for about ?20 per 20 shot pack which is a bit cheaper than some people on the web (stocks low though). Enjoy.

Polaroid film has gone down at boots now? It was 19.99 when I bought my last twinpacks in february... then it's gone up to 21.99 for the same twinpacks. I heard a rumour that Asda stock twinpacks for 16.99 but I don't have one of those nearby to go check it out

7dayshop is hard to beat for cheap film (esp colour C41 and E6)...don't think I've bought from anywhere else for years.

My last bulk purchase was 40 rolls of Fuji Reala ASA100 colour neg film for some wonderfully low fee. The best of the lot though was the Konica ASA100 colour film they had 3 or 4 years ago that was 25p a roll (I think). I bought 100 and it's been great. I still have a few knocking around; perfect for family snaps in the point 'n' shoot.

I was in Boots in Kirkcaldy recently and they were selling off 35mm film in the bargain basement. 50 pence a roll! HP5, various fuji slide films Velvia and Provia (process paid, yes stillat 50p), Kodak CN400. Don't bother making the journey as I bought it all, a carrier bag full of lovely film!

I use 7daysh0p but theycan be quite slow and stock not always available when they say it is.

http://www.mailshotsuk.co.uk/ are also good value, especially for Ilford films and fuji colour as well as filters etc

I'll second mailshots. I've used them for some time. Always very quick. In fact, I received some today which I ordered late Wednesday night.

Poundland do Big Yellow Gold and centuria 200 24 exp for.....guess what......?1 a roll!!!  I can second (or third) 7dayshop, ordered some fp100C and it arrived 3 days later (on normal postage).

I'd been watching 10 rolls of Tri-x on eBay, dated 2005.  The package went for a fiver more than the same would have cost from 7DayShop.

I just got some - three days in the post.

There's a business model there somewhere.

so many times I see film lots on ebay  go for ?1 a roll more than they cost brand new..... i guess P T Barnamm was right....

Never heard of 7dayshop until seeing this thread yesterday - have now orderd some Fuji peel apart film at amazingly cheap price!  I feel that although I still like the Polaroid emulsions, I need have no compulsion to buy their remaining products and moreover need to support Fuji strongly so that they realise that there is a big market for THEIR instant films!

I get IlfordPan  400 [like HP5 but MUCH cheaper @ ?22 for 30m] at FirstCall.

I bought from 7dayshop for a few years until one day I realised they didn't sell 5L bottles of fixer. The thought struck me that if eveyone that uses my favourite shop in Dublin [Gunns] bought their film in 7dayshop then the chemical stock would probably vanish sooner or later. Chemistry is getting more difficult to source here in Ireland so I buy all my stuff now in my local store if I can.
