I was thinking maybe a bargains and deals thread?

I mean as in Delta or Tmax 3200 or Neopan 1600.

Probably unlikely as most new stock seems like it will go back to their suppliers. Ex demo stock is pretty much in short supply at my local Jessops nowadays, and it sure won't be analogue. I hadn't even had a look in the new store they had just moved into in December in Inverness.

My local store has a few dusty rolls of Superia hidden behind the counter.

They normally have Ilford B&W hidden under the counter.

Noticed in boots in Penarth that they no longer have 3 for 2 on film. It is now buy one get one half price. So I bought 4 rolls (kodak gold) instead of 3.

£50 of Lomo stock for £20 groupon deal anyone?

I must say their film stocks seem worryingly low, very little in the way of slide film.

 

[cyrano55]

Groupon are spam infested shysters, flogging off tat to the gullible. Just my opinion after being infected by their damn site. And being gullible!
And just what exactly is "John Fashnau focus" anyway? :confused:

They have the AGFA film again in Poundland, it was the 24s for a while but now they have 36s again, really fresh stock 12/05 expiry and it's re-branded Fuji C200.

 

[paul_c5x4]

really fresh stock 12/05 expiry

Is that December 2005 or May 2012 ?

/me double checks the calender....

Did you made a mistake with the date? Did you mean 12/15?

Yes.

 

[CHX]

Some Poundlands are stocking the 24 exp at the moment in Birmingham, but either way it's a real bargain, and with 2015 expiry to boot!

On that note, I noticed Morrisons had long-expired dusty multipacks of Fujicolor 200 - at over £10 a pop.

Thought you might be interested in this fantastic darkroom setup for sale by auction on eBay..
LPL 6700 Colour Enlarger (VERY GOOD)

RARE PHOTON BEARD PROFESSIONAL 2-BLADE DARKROOM ENLARGER EASEL (MINT) 16X20"

Guess you must be the seller :confused:

Sorry to disappoint, but the 16x20 easel is far from being "rare" - I have two of the beasts sitting in my darkroom and paid peanuts for both.
As for the C6700 enlarger - Not one of the better models LPL produced and they generally go for little money on ebay.

Got offered a virtually new RRB easel for £40 this morning. Still with its original instruction leaflet and plastic bag - Might take a punt on it tomorrow if it is still there...

Poundland had the 400 version of Afga Vista recently. I know it's made by Fuji, does anybody know what film that is likely to be.

 

[Ricardo Miranda]

They had the 400 ISO version of Vista when the distributor run out of the 200 ISO version. It was short lived and not all shops had it.
I have that one and I'm still to process mine.
My educated guess is that it is a previous generation of Superia 400.
I'll need to see the rebate markings and check the film code.

 

[ajuk]

How do you know it's because of the distributor?

 

[ajuk]

Just got some 675 Zinc Air batteries in Poundland.

 

[perkeleellinen]

My local Sainsbury has Superia 400 36exp for £3.50, dated 2017.

 

[ajuk]

Is that cheap?

 

[perkeleellinen]

Cheapest I've seen it on the high street (£7.50 in Boots). Price normally doubles online with postage costs.

Poundland are stopping selling Agfa film.
"we will try to bring similar products in the future" they say.

Dead Link Removed
a petition to get them to continue to sell it.

It seems to be another false alarm.

Just nipped into poundland and asked for some film.

Chap brought down three cases of 100 and asked how many cases I'd like! I took 50 rolls, with my new found cheap development (£4.30 for c41 development and 6x4 prints from a noritsu on fujicolor paper... I think) that's me sorted for a year or two of snap shots, candids and travel. Apparently, a few folks had gone in and taken 500 rolls!

And they say film is dying
