Yesterday afternoon waiting for development ( just 38 usd cents for each;))some rolls I saw the Pro Image pack kodadk (100 iso/5rolls/36exp) at reduced price¡¡¡ from usd10.00 to usd 6.92..:eek:...I wonder is this means no more film at Sams?? employees cant tell me nothing about this...:confused:..
Regards....
 
I didn't even know Sam's Club at Mexico still sold film! It's long been gone from CostCo and WalMart. I guess I should go check it out around here. Thanks!
 
This is exactly what happened Costco. Prices dropped to less than $1/roll, and then it was gone. I bought 100 or so rolls and sadly I'm almost out :/
 
My Sam's Club stopped selling film a few years ago. My local WalMart only sells Fuji Superia film. Not even a C-41 B&W. I have plenty of color film stocked up fortunately.
 
A bit off topic, but while we are talking about Mexico (City), does anyone know how to get Kodak Portra around here? I've tried a number of shops in Mexico City, everybody tells me it has been discontinued, I explain that no, it has not and give them the Kodak product number for the new Portras, yet, they still can't order it for me ...

Soy un aficionado a las RFF, de hecho cada fin de semana salgo por la ciudad a recorrer museos y caminar por el centro, donde puedes encontrar algunos buenos precios. si algun dia dispones de tiempo podemos hacer recorridos y tomar fotos...
Un saludo cordial...
 
Que buena idea. Me mandas un correo quando tienes tiempo?

Anyone else in Mexico City interested in a meet-up?

Distribuidora Fotográfica Vyorsa (República de Brasil street, halfway to Plaza Santo Domingo) has Portra 160 NC and VC only in 120 format. I've talked to Kodak Mexico, they don't sell the 'new' Portra and they don't sell 35mm either :(

Ouch¡¡¡¡ sad hear that...for sure Im gonna pickup some more film from Sams...
Thx.
 
Oh, don't get me wrong, at Vyorsa the have plenty of other 135 format color and b&w film, just not 135 format Portra.

As to Kodak's distribution I see Tmax, ProImage, Ultra and Gold are easily available... but for some reason, Kodak won't distribute 135 Portra in Mexico.... now that I think of it I haven't seen Ektar around here either...
 
Yeah, I feared that would be the answer. I have seen the Fuji pro color films at a number of places, they seem to be easily availble in 135 and 120. Pro 400-H will have to do then, although I really much prefer portra.

Does anyone know of a decent place to get 6x6 negatives scanned for a reasonable price? I have offers for ~100 pesos (US$ 8) per negative for pretty mediocre flatbed scans. I'd be willing to pay that for drum scans ...

Thanks again, and nice to see there are some more people from Mexico on this forum. -N.
 
Wow, it's good to know that they are RF users in DF. Would love to meet up though I'm just a few months into RF photography.

Yes, let's keep in touch I think it would be fun to be able to go out as a group to take photos.
 
People still buy film somewhere other than Freestyle or occasionally B&H/Adorama? Wow, the things you learn...
