Want to Buy 100ft Roll of Black and White film

[Howl23]

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking to buy a roll or two (if the price is right) of black and white bulk film. I accept any brand and expired film is perfectly ok with me, just as long as I know a rough estimate of how long it's been expired so I can develop accordingly.

Thank you

Edit #1: Just wanted to clarify that ideally I would not like to spend more than $100+plus shipping for the film if possible.

If you are willing to wait, I plan on splitting up a roll of Tri-X in the near future. Cost will be around $120, plus shipping.

What exactly do you mean by splitting the roll?

What exactly do you mean by splitting the roll?

Making two 30,5m rolls of 17,5mm film.
Or two 17m rolls of 35mm

I guess the second option. Buy 30,5m of 400TX, make like 10 rolls for own use and then sell the rest.

I don't know what HP5+ costs in dollars at them moment, but I paid less then €120 for a full fresh 30,5m roll like 2 months ago.

I would buy a 400 ft roll of XX film from Kodak, then split it into 4 100 foot rolls.
Noticed I made a typo in the original reply, should be XX (the Cinema film), not Tri-X (the stills film).

I have a 100ft tin of Trix that expired in the ‘80 I believe that I’d sell. PM me with an offer.

I've never shot XX film before would be nice but I think the $120 price tag may be a bit out of my budget. More importantly I may need to reflect that in my original post

TBH I doubt you'll be able to save much trying to buy here. Arista 200 AKA Foma 200 is just $64 per 100ft new. A cheap option for ISO 400 would be Ultrafine Finesse for $61. Not much room for savings, unless you're trying to save $10?

The Ultrafine website quotes $61.95 + $9.95 shipping, total $71.90 for 100' Ultrafine 400.
