As the title says - anyone know of anyone within Australia (or reliably ships to Australia) able to sell bulk 35mm rolls (or part thereof) of E100 and 250D? Unfussed if the latter is with or without remjet (I dev myself).

At the point in my life where I'd like to settle into and master a couple of regular stocks without risking the utter financial ruin of buying retail

Feel free to PM if you fear the Kodak Stasi ;-)

Cheers, Ben
 
You might consider getting in touch with Peter at Ikigai Film Lab in Melbourne as a starting point, they spool their own film.

I recently asked at Vanbar about bulk E100 on behalf of a friend who shoots 35mm, Vanbar don't stock bulk roles simply because it's too expensive and likely to sit in the fridge until it's out of date.

You may have to resort to what those of us who shoot colour sheet film have been doing for decades, buy from OS.

Alas they've confirmed they're no longer able to source motion pictures reels "officially" due to Kodak Eastman's crackdown on respoolers.
I suspect there's not enough 35mm being shot in Australia to have much of a market in left over short ends floating around.

So yeah, anyone in USA or Europe reliable enough to order from? Seems like certain Youtubers in LA are able to get their hands on pretty much anything without an issue... ;-)
 
Vanbar in Melbourne (Thornbury)?

Though I don't really see them as a reliable, timely supplier of film of any sort nowadays...
 

i do have all kinds of bulk 52xx films, but no 5294. You have to spool themselves. From my knowlage irohas photo offer that in sydney, not sure about melb and perth.
