Topic: Koda-Thrift Ortho type 'free'

[jharr]

As noted in the 'Just Picked Up' thread, I got a Watson Bulk Loader at a local thrift store. It was labeled "KODALITH ORTHO..." so I peeked and confirmed that there was indeed some film in it. So I paid $14 for the loader (not the greatest bargain ever, but about market price) and got the film for free (my favorite price). I figured that at some point someone had opened it and exposed the film, so I just rolled up a shorty and shot some stuff around the neighborhood. Dev'd in X-tol 1:1 for 10 min and ba-da-bing, pictures! More of the story and more pictures here (The Resilience of Film)

Free film is definitely the best film when it's good

I like those, i got 100 feet of this film at our yearly club auction for the massive sum of £0.50

Oh man those are good Especially the second one

For some strange reason, I find it pretty addictive to get rolls of mystery film
For me, last time was a roll of HP5
I got about 10 rolls of 30 exposures out of it

Yeah, the loader wasn't any great bargain, but the thought of getting mystery film with it cinched the deal.
