Any chance to attain color print film?

Back on topic in the uk colour film supplies are still very limited to the extent kodak 250d is being offered as an alternative (and bulk rolls of that are sold out too)

in 35mm all thats reliably on offer is portra 800 or lomo 800, plus some portra 400 and occasionally ektar.

Consumer film is very hard to get regardless of cost, suppliers get an odd case or so and so it sells almost immediately. Currently someone has some superia xtra 400. One supplier briefly had colorplus, first time in 3 years!

This is why when it does come in I buy a bunch. I don't wait around complaining about the price, as it will just disappear and the next time it shows up it will cost more.

It seems we have it pretty good here in the US, as I can find it quite easily.

My London Drugs here has a 3 pak of Fuji 400 Superia for around 30 bucks. Not cheap, but accessible. I dont recall if it was 24 or 36 rolls in the box. Maybe 36. I remember when you could get 3 paks of Gold 200 in 24 rolls for $13 Walmart around 10 years ago. Oh how times have changed. I still have a good stash of C41 35mm film, but I don't often shoot it, so it sits in my freezer. Some of it is quite outdated. I loaded a roll of Fuji 100 in my Pen FT, and will take that for a spin. I'll get London Drugs to develop it and scan. Scanning film here with my scanner is an act of frustration, taking 5 hours to do a 36 roll. If half frame, twice that.

Which is why you need to convert to digital camera scanning. I scan a 36 exp roll @ 8200x5300 in 10 minutes.
It's the only thing I use my digicam for!

convert to digital camera scanning.

The only potentially legitimate use for those...

Huss. Im slowly looking into scanning film with my GFX camera. I have some of the needed items, but still need to get most of the rest. I dont really have room for a copy table though. I'd have to turf some other stuff on my computer table. It will be expensive to get the needed gear, which is why I haven't done anything with it yet.

I wish we had a London Drug. Are you quoting CAD or USD? I have no problem scanning slides but color negative scanning is just as hard as balancing filtration for RA-4 prints. I think it might be easier for me to make a RA4 contact sheet and then scan the whole sheet in my miraculous Canon all in one.
Best Regards, Mike

Looks like Winnipeg is my closest London Drugs 750mi. 1200 km. Not a bad drive. As long as I don't have to drive across Nebraska
