Start bulk loading vision3 film. Ecn-2 dev and remjet removal is nothing to be afraid of.

Think it's like 350 bucks for 70-80 36 exposure rolls.
>>
>>4297128
Just scam Amazon
>>
>>4297128
The fuck are you talking about?

I'm considering giving $600 to the jews for a 400 foot reel of Ektachrome
>>
>>4297143
Dooooo it! Make sure to use old film for the leader and a couple inches at the spool to save on good film!
>>
>>4297128
I just got a 3 pack fuji 200 for 25 bucks on amazon

It's over if you're poor, I guess. I'm still shooting medium and large format slide at around $5-10 per exposure.

are filmchads unironically richer than digi leica virgins?

yes but you dont have sex

>>4297151
Correct. Don't even care, at this point.
>>
>>4297149
Based. If you want cheap b&w 4x5 you can buy spooled agfa aviphot and cut your sheets with a simple jig. You can get down to less than 50 cents per sheet that way.
>>
>>4297149
Here in Eurostan, Fomapan 4x5 is about 1€ and 8x10 3€. Granted, Kodak is 5x more.
>>4297153
I've trimmed litho film to 4x5 and it was pain even with safelight. (About 1 to 3 ISO, dev rodinal 1:200 or so for very thin negatives with some tones.and "character".)
Too bad I have not done any film myself since start of covid era.

Film is fucking cheap unless you insist on shooting everything on professional stock, which is kind of like the film version of buying a sony A7RV for travel snapshits.
>>
>>4297209
>>4297270
Slide film is dead because the only bulk customers justifying modern film tech are shooting color negatives. Also, fuji discontinued fucking everything to sell garbage xtranny cameras and instax. I have no idea why any of it is even still available in 35mm. It barely adds any value to most peoples lives unless you're at least shooting 6x7.

On the other hand my lab sells respooled bulk kodak vision for like $10 for a 42 exposure roll, supposedly because they bought a respooling machine that makes it piss easy for them
>>
>>4297231
there's no reason to bring it down when kodak has a near monopoly in the market.

This shit is NOT Svemacolor, this shit is made by InnovisCoat. Even in its last dying breath(~1995) Svema made color film much, much better than anything current ORWO can dream about.

Film isn't that expensive. If you can afford good film gear, you can afford the film to shoot in it. Niggas in here with Leica M bodies and Hasselblads bitching about the price of film, shut the fuck up.

If a fat lolcow truck driver can afford film you can do it too. Are you seriously more broke than Sugar?

Yea, seems about right

>Film isn't that expensive.
If it isn't that expensive, how come it has all but been wiped off by digital?
>inb4 you say it's because of the jews
>>
>>4297984
most "professionals" snapshit out of control (they're below minimum wage newspaper interns)

do you really think the people that somehow think 40fps e-shutter is a good thing would ever pay for film
>>
everyone who really cares is shooting cine film anyway
>>

What's the deal with 120?
Has it gotten any more expensive?
>>
>>4297128
Gold used to be $5 and ColorPlus 200 was $3, UltraMax was about the same. I don't see any reason to shoot ColorPlus anymore, I liked it for snapshitting when it were cheap, now it's so expensive I might as well pay a tiny bit more for the nicer Gold, or even Portra/Ektar.

>Adox CMS 20: $7.99
The fuck?
CMS-20 was 12€ last time I checked, even HR-50 is 6,50€ now
>>
>>4299768
Many US online stores have it listed for 7.99 but suspiciously have no stock
>>
>>4299860
It is in stock at the german store Fotoimpex, however to be fair:
German stores list prices including tax (19%) while US stores usualy list prices excluding tax.
But then again, HR-50 has a very high resolution already and a more usefull sensitivity.
CMS 20 needs a push development to even do 20 ISO, so you're shooting 12-16 ISO on a prime stopped down to f/4-5,6 to actualy make use of it.
>>
>>4299860
>But suspiciously have no stock
i think adox stopped shipping to the US entirely, it's on backorder for every US seller

>>4299918
>US stores list prices excluding tax
Because we have different state and city taxes, not a nationwide federal sales tax, the american expectation is you should be able to calculate tax yourself.

NC500 (shot at 200, normal dev) is unironically my favorite nu-color stock of all that I've tried.
Also I'm very bummed that Phoenix turned out to be little more than nicely packaged industrial waste. Still have two rolls left and I'm praying I'll finally find a use case for it because I really wanted to love it.
>>
>>4297128
TFW pack of 5 120 Portra is nearly 100euro
I pay anyway
Then developing the 5 rolls is 100 euro more
One picture is 4 euro
Still pay like i'm some kind of nigger
>>
>>4302086
Mamiya rb67 + 70mm back + 65mm vision3 film is the cheapest color film possible. You need to send out to a lab that does ecn2 or develop ecn2 yourself, which is not difficult.
>>
>>4302092
you don't need to buy a jap piece of shit like that, chinks are hand rolling 65mm vision film in regular 120 spools, so you can use it in a glorious rolleiflex
>>
>>4302098
Hasselblad and linhof also make 70mm backs. It's a lot cheaper to use 70mm film canisters with 13 feet of film than getting slit and rolled vision3.

The initial investment is a little pricey, but you'll start saving pretty quick. 260 bucks for a 100 foot spool of 250D, and that should get you over 300 shots of 67.
>>
>>4299763
No i wouldnt lmao
>>
>>4302092
so I need to buy more gear, more film and do more labor to pay less for my film ?
>>
>>4302107
Yes, although it may not be worthwhile if you dont shoot a lot of 120.

You can also attempt to slit and back your own 120 or 220 rolls... It's a much more obnoxious and tedious process, but doesn't require nearly as much new gear.
>>
>>4300461
Post pics
Also, it's possible to get good results out of Phoenix, but you gotta change the process a lot, it's not really a c41 film
>>
>>4297128
B&H sells 400 ft rolls of Kodak Vision 3 500T which works out to ~$4.50/roll of much more advanced film stock than uktramax.

You're a fucking retard, DM sells packs of three for 21 bucks
At least retards like you subsidize film for boomers like us who still go to real stores
>>
>>4302133
i uh, i dont have DM in my country lol
do they have a website?
>>
Shoot black and white, get pro film for 9 or 10 bucks a roll. (Delta, Tmax, Rollei).
>>
I don't know why but I'm always content with film prices even with the inflated prices. But the development price when I send them to the lab, that's what gets me bothered. Not sure why.
>>
>>4302133
DM only sells film inside Germany (since like 2021)
the employees can't even order it any more
>>
>>4302230
Or be a smart person and bulk load XX for like 4 bucks per roll...
