Topic: Film suppliers in the UK - A list.

Thought I'd list all the film suppliers I know of in the UK. Always worth checking them all for bargains so having the links all in one place might be useful.

Amazon

Silverprint

Process Supplies

Ag Photographic

RK Photographic     http://www.thedarkroom.co.uk/

Thanks Nigel. I've added them to the list.

Any others anyone?

[Mike (happyforest)]

There are also the nova darkroom people, morco and firstcall

http://www.theimagingwarehouse.com/Products/Traditional-Photography

http://www.morco.uk.com/

http://www.firstcall-photographic.co.uk/

Not just film but equipment as well.

Again not used them myself.

Oh and Speed graphic, Mr Cad

Thanks Mike. I've added them, well, except for Firstcall who, from my own experience has such bad customer service I said I would never use them again or recommend them to anyone and, so far, I haven't. Also, be aware their minimum postage charge is £7.99.

[Suzi Livingstone]

I am currently using Speed Graphic, very speedy service.

I've used Firstcall a few times with no problem.  You do have to watch the postal charges though.  To be honest the only problems I've ever had are with AG Photographic - I have found them very slow on a few occasions.

For processing, I've found that Colourstream - http://www.colourstream.net/film-processing - are really good. They have a  mail order service, or you can bring it into their place in Brighton, where they sell masses of different films too. Their website is really confusing though, and doesn't list all their services I think. I take mine instore, where they'll develop a roll for £3 (I have student discount) then I scan it in at home.

I have used Firstcall. The only issue I have has is that on a big order items may be out of stock. Delivery time can show as 5 days on the webpage but it can be several weeks. So it is worth calling first before ordering  to check expected delivery. The item causing the delay is usually something ordered just to get value out of the carriage charge.

I have ordered from RK Photographic both through eBay and their website and they  have always provided a quick service.

[Phil Bebbington]

This is great. Thank you to all those that have contributed to the list.

[Pete_R]

Just added Photo Supplies UK.

[Pete_R]

Just added Morris Photo. They are best known for bags and tripods but seem to have branched out more recently. They used to have a general photo store in Oxford that I used to frequent but have now moved out of town and do more mail order.

They also have a darkroom section now http://www.morrisphoto.co.uk/darkroom.html

[Pete_R]

Just added Ffordes. Haven't noticed them listing film before. Prices seem competitive (actually cheapest for XP2 120 at the time of writing this).

My local camera shop, a small family run business sells Ilford B & W film at good prices - http://www.philburtonphotography.co.uk/

[gsgary]

I buy direct from Ilford, with my discout code i get 100 feet of HP5 delivered for £50, Just bought 100 feet of Orwo UN54 for £45 from here
http://www.filmotec.de/?page_id=353&lang=en

[gsgary]

Just checked some of the links and they can't touch buying direct from Ilford with a discount code spend £50 and delivery is free, if you want the code just message me

[Regthecat]

Another great place for film and chemicals is http://www.processuk.net/ - part of the filmsnotdead guys. passionate and helpful. It's where David bailey goes so it can't be too bad!

[Kayos]

Placed 2 orders a week ago, one with Ag and one with Firscall

Firstcall came next day, after numerous emails I'm expecting my Ag order today

All to save a few quid? Not really worth it as I've had to change my plans because of it

[Kayos]

Rollei "creative" films, crossbird, redbird and nightbird , kentmere and some kodak gold from Firstcall, along with a few bits of chemicals

And Ilford stuff from Ag, with some D76

Ive used both in the past and have been very good, but  Ag were hopeless this time

This link seems to go to a German site. Nothing to do with Ilford.

[Pete_R]

Added Nik & Trick in Folkstone. Wish I'd found them earlier as they have the best price for SFX 120 I've seen. Interesting Web site as well.

I had the good fortune to find a "proper" bricks and mortar camera shop, and wanted to tell you all about it.

Dents of Chesterfield was recommended to me by a friend, and I'll definitely be using them again. They have their own lab onsite. There can't be many independent camera shops still offering this kind of service.

Impressed, and delighted they're fairly local to me.

i just bought some sheet film from these dudes:

Just come across these people, not used them myself, but the more choice the better as far as I'm concerned.
