how much film is in your hoard ( color or black/white )

[removed account4]

the title says it all

approximately how much film is in your stash / hoard /supply ( unused / stored film ) &c right now ...
i don't care if it is expired or fresh ...

 

[Andrew O'Neill]

Too much. All B/W. The Acros sheet film I bought last month is the last I'll buy until I've made a substantial dent in my stash. I never stashed film. It all started for me when Ilford almost left us in '05.

 

[Leigh B]

300+ 120 rolls of Agfapan APX25. When it went out of production, I had the local camera store buy up all they could find in the US, which I bought. I shot a lot. This is what's left. I've offered it for sale.

About 100 sheets of ACROS 4x5 awaiting nicer weather.
About 20 rolls of 35mm ACROS and 40 rolls of 120 ACROS likewise.
Ilford FP4+ in 8x10, maybe 25 sheets, likewise.

One third of my freezer and 25 % of my 27 cubic foot refrigerator is filled with 35mm, 120 and 4"x5" color and black & white film. It is not a hoard, rather it contains discontinued films that I bought us to keep from the hoarders.

 

[Mick Fagan]

This is some of the stuff I have in my small darkroom refrigerator.

Aside from a few rolls of 35mm, Delta 3200/ Portra 800, Cinestill 800, it's all instant and 120:

26 boxes of Fuji fp-100c
4 boxes if Fuji fp-3000b
12 rolls Portra 160
8 rolls Portra 400
6 rolls of HP5+
5 rolls Fuji Neopan Acros
And a couple rolls each of Tri-x, T-max, Fuji 400h, Delta 3200, Portra 800, etc.

 

[lantau]

I keep track of it with a spreadsheet. 320 rolls at the moment. But there are also two b/w bulk rolls that are not yet finished. And 3x 400ft Vision 3 rolls which still have a long way to go. Also a little sheet film for my pinhole camera.

Bought over 12-14 months after starting fresh with film photography . Now I'm only replenishing.

Oh, and four boxes of fp100c.

 

[iakustov]

~120 rolls of Delta in 120
~70 rolls of Delta in 135
~80 rolls of Velvia/Provia in 120
~40 sheets of Provia in 4x5
~250 sheets of FP4/HP5 in 5x7
plus some 20 rolls of color negative film in 135, ~20 rolls of Portra in 220 and ~20 rolls of Provia/Velvia in 135

 

[BMbikerider]

Not a lot really, about 8 x 24 + 3 x 36 exp C41 colour neg. 2 x 24 exp B&W (FP4) and about half a 17m bulk can also of FP4. I don't need any more at present.

 

[canvassy]

For B&W I have about 30 rolls, half 120 and half 35mm, and a 100ft bulk roll of HP5+ that I just purchased. I shoot more B&W and stock up when I get under 10 rolls left. For color, I picked up a cheap bulk lot and have about 60 rolls left, again half 120 and half 35mm.

 

[Murray Kelly]

'bout half a mile.

 

[locutus]

I keep my film stash small and order film paper and chemistry every other month.

At the moment i have 5 rolls of Pancro 400, 4 rolls of HP5+, 5 rolls of Tri-X (all 35mm) and a just opened box of 100 sheets of 5x4 FP4+

 

[removed account4]

'bout half a mile.

 

[Craig75]

200ft of agfacopex hdr in 16mm

maybe 100ft of random unboxed "kodak saftey film" in 16mm

5 rolls of hp5+
5 rolls of fomapan 400

my fridge game is weak

 

[sportster44]

Not a lot


120: 5 rolls of Acros, 5 rolls of Delta 100, 4 rolls of Pancro 400, 2 rolls of TriX, 2 rolls of Ektar, and 1 roll of Portra 400.

35mm: 40 rolls Superia 400 expired , 5 rolls JCH400, 4 rolls Pancro 400, 2 rolls TriX, 1 rolls delta 100, 1 roll Acros, 2 rolls Ektar,

 

[Luckless]

I typically only ever have a few dozen rolls of film at any time, and restock from there. I would rather buy a bit on a regular basis rather than dropping a big chunk of capital down on a perishable consumable that I may or may not get around to using in a timely fashion.

Current stock, off the top of my head, is something like:
120 film:
- 6 rolls of Delta 100
- 1 roll of Delta 3200
- 3 rolls of T-max 400
4x5:
- 19 sheets of Delta 100
- 25 sheets of HP5 Plus
- 3 sheets of mystery film that came in used film holders.

Really need to restock the supplies here soon.
Might order more 4x5, and need to decide how I really want to keep shooting my 120 - I may just settle on a 400 speed film and leave it there. The other practical options seem to be getting more cameras, or modifying my C330 to use film backs of some kind.

 

[paul ron]

buy it fresh 50 rolls at a time and use it all in a few months... never store in the fridge.

 

[Ko.Fe.]

Dozen of old color positive films. 30.5 meters of Fuji 250D, around 100 meters of very old Kodak 50D. About 30 meters of Polypan F. And I don't know how many meters of film I use most. I'm buying two bulks once previous two are finished.

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

B&W 35mm: 30+ rolls of black & white 35mm, mostly Ultrafine Xtreme 400, but a few odd rolls of Kentmere 400 (which I think is largely the same film), and some TMax 400.
B&W 120: 15 rolls of Ilford Delta 400, waiting to get used so I can buy HP5+ again.
Color 35mm: 20+ rolls of all kinds of expired slide film that I use for cross processing, and will eventually print RA4.
Color 120: 50+ rolls of expired slide film from Kodak and Fuji, along with a healthy stash of Kodak Ektar and Portra 400. Not sure I'm going to keep it, but we'll see.

I usually have a lot more 120 b&w sitting around...

 

[removed account4]

interesting responses !
i used to have a lot more than i do,
i've been pretty good at not purchasing
even when i want to ... been trying to run out for a while.

i've a couple bulk 35mm rolls (old creativ200. old tmy)
maybe 50 assorted 35mm+120 color+b/w mixed ( probs less )
maybe 150 sheets of assorted 4x5 ( b/w+color mixed ) ( probs less )
maybe 200 sheets of 5x7+8x10 mixed (or less )
a couple Kg of foma emulsion + a tube or 2 of liquid light (partially used)

nothing frozen or cold stored, all expired

 

[Cholentpot]

I just got started on a 400 footer of HP5+

I've got about 100 rolls of C-41, B&W and E-6 combined. I need more freezer space...

 

[pdeeh]

couple of 5-packs of Ektar in 120, which I never use and is OOD so I could probably sell at a profit on eBay
maybe 100-125, maybe more, sheets of 10x8, mixture of fomapan and adox ISO100, which I rarely use because the effing camera and tripod are too big for me to lump around now.
8 or 10 or something of neopan 1600 in 135
couple of rolls of TriX in 135
a handful of HP5 in 120 and 20 or something rolls of acros in 120, neither of which get used as my SQ broke and I can't find or really afford another though I suppose I could dig out one of my 6x6 folders. I wanted that SQ so much. F{}ck My Luck.
2/3 of a bulk roll of Delta 100. Turns out I don't like it much, also keep forgetting to make up cassettes, often get scratches when I do.
Oh got some Adox (Efke) ART25 & ART50 from the last production run. Maybe 10 rolls in total in 135. Must stick some in a camera and see what it does.
Maybe 7 or 8 rolls in total of mixture of Fuji and AgfaVista CN films in 135
And about 400 sheets of 40x50cm Agfa lith film

Everything's pretty much OOD but it all seems to make pictures OK when I do use it.

Most of the small stuff's in the 'fridge, but the sheets are all scattered around the place in drawers and whatnot.
I keep finding odd rolls turning up in rucsacs or storage trays or under the sofa.

is that a lot? It sort of looks like a lot written down. Haven't bought any camera film for ages and and ages, except 3 rolls of HP5 which was reduced to £2 a roll in Boots The Chemist. Couldn't resist.

I don't maintain large stocks, my shooting of film is limited and I prefer not to end up having it lay around a long time. But I generally stock up for a trip or specific projects. (If I order on the right day I can have film from B&H at my door in two days.)

At the moment, in 120 roll film there's (according to a magic spreadsheet):
12 - FP4+
13 - Acros
11 - HP5+
8 - 400TX (There is also about ten rolls of 400TX from a questionable emulsion number -- I have used a few of those on non-critical shoots -- successfully even).

In 35mm I have maybe 2 FP-4 and 1 400 Tmax left -- plus perhaps 90 feet of Panatomic X!!! I don't really shoot much 35mm since I got my collection of medium format gear -- the annual Argus Day in Argust and (unusual move) in January I took my Canon A-1 to the Women's March in DC.

There is also a "fell thru the cracks" accumulation of odds and ends of color material which is old and I've pretty much given up on, as processing costs too much for what it does for me.

In LF, I have some Arista 4x5 and maybe 48 sheets of 8x10 Fuji HR-T x-ray film for pinholing.

Oh! And one roll of Delta 100 in Minox!!!

My girlfriend and I are both ice-cream junkies, and we prefer to stock (self-made) ice-cream in our freezer than film.
However, if you ask her, we still have way too many rolls in there: mostly some 50-60 rolls of Provia 400X (stocked when it was discontinued)
as well as some Velvia 50. We are working on reducing the inventory but alas, we don't have enough vacation to shoot it all rapidly.

I have a few rarities, such as one 15-years old roll of Agfa Scala I couldn't get developed (although I am told that the process
has been reintroduced and a couple labs now do it in Germany). I still have the original envelope to send the film to Agfa for processing!

I also have a few rolls of Fuji fortia: (I probably already posted that pic here)

 

[benjiboy]

I plead the fifth amendment.

 

[Gerald C Koch]

Aside from a couple boxes of paper, an entire floor freezer stocked to the very top with film.
