Platinum RF
Well-known
The film price has been increased, maybe to a point I do not want to pay for it. The digital RF is still so expensive, I may have to give up RF until afforable digital RF made available.

i won't give ya any!!
A few months ago from UltraFineOnLine, I got ten 3-packs of Kodak BW400CN 24 exp, short-dated, $4.98 each 3-pack, total $49.80+$5.95s&h = $55.75 for 30 rolls. This was from their eBay store, which I keep an eye on periodically, as they have various stuff on special pricing at different times.digitalintrigue said:Speaking of XP2 or BW400CN, where is the best place to buy (US supplier)? Do they offer 24 exposure rolls anymore?
Right On! When I look at $5,000 and up for just a camera, not to mention another $5,000 for a computer/scanner/printer set-up, film looks really cheap. I already have more photo equipment than I can ever use - I'll just keep trying to use it all. 😎Wobbly said:Think of all the money you'll save on not having to upgrade computer, monitor, printer periodically, not to mention the camera (as sensors and hardware/software consantly evolve). Also the money saved on not having to continually purchase batteries and strorage/backup storage for your images. Pick up a 20-50 dollar RF film camera and you'll be taking photos as good as cameras that are orders of magnitude more expensive. Photography is in the eye and on the shutter release. Expensive equipment won't make you better (film or digital). Plus, film is cheap!! Film is archival. viva la film!
That depends: if I'm not hung up on having a pro lab soup my C41 (and, as mentioned before, my local Rite Aid's photo lab has a crackerjack staff), I can get my film processed in under a half-hour, uncut and unprinted, for $2.50 a pop. So for me, film is cheap. It all depends on the approach. How long it will remain so, of course, is anyone's guess, but I'm putting my money where my preferences lie (Or is that "lay"?).dmr said:I don't know where you live or where you buy film, but over here in the States, film (Kodak, Fuji, house brand) C41 color negative type in common speeds is commonly available for less than US$2.00 per roll.
It's the processing that's the expensive part of it.
