Want to Buy Wanted : BW Film Donations for HS Program

dodphotography · Mar 29, 2019

I’m curious if anyone would be willing to donate ANY type of 35mm BW film... I run a high school program and we had a record year of sign ups. Our program doesn’t place any materials requirements on students. I failed to properly forecast my budgetary needs and have blown through my budget.

Anything helps... we only run BW but otherwise I don’t care if it’s 24/36 exposures, if it expired in 1978, or the brand.

Your generosity is appreciated!!!

Greetings!
Congratulations on keeping film alive at the high school level. I have a couple of rolls of 36 exp HP5+ that I can send you. They are dated 2009, but have been stored in my freezer since purchased. I recently shot a roll from the same batch and it was fine. Also, do you need any manual focus gear for your program? I have a very nice Kiron 30/80 zoom in Canon Fd mount listed on the photrio classifieds without any responses. Is the school willing to pay postage for donated gear?
Please send me your mailing address and I'll send the film.
Thanks,
Ron

Sent you a message. A couple big orders of dry plates with no expenses coming up means I can use some of those funds to donate you some rolls of film.

Unfortunately we use Nikon F and Pentax K mount cameras, thank you very much for offering the lens though!

The OP hasn't stated such, (as yet), but I would presume the person making the donation does Ralph. For as the OP says, 'I failed to properly forecast my budgetary needs and have blown through my budget.'

Which High School? I’m pleased to hear that SOME analog HS photo programs are still thriving! Good work.

ronwhit · Apr 1, 2019

I'm embarrassed to say, but I'm not clear on how to send a PM to the OP. Could one of you fine folks outline the process?
Thanks,
ronwhit.

Chamblee GA HS also has an analog photography program.

I had the same issue a few years ago. We used more film than I had anticipated (hard to predict what kind of kids you're going to get each year)...and I had no money. So... I bought a bulk roll of HP5 with my own money, and got reimbursed the following year.

still looking? I have bulk rolls of Ektachrome 5038 - a slow speed color duplicating film from the 70's/80's (stored frozen). But it could be processed as a BW film for some nice results.
