Epay Shanghai GP3

THe price is about 3 -5 times lower then it normally goes for epay.
Pictures look like they have been taken from other ads.
Ad indicates they are selling in 4, & 6 packs, but when you check their store, they are not.

On APUG there's a thread about it. Basically these really low price GP3 listings are scams. Low feedback new sellers or hacked old accounts.


Genuine GP3 on eBay goes for about $3.5-4 a roll. Yep, Fomapan or Ultrafine prices. Supposedly in Taobao there are genuine sellers and the price hovers down to about $3 a roll.
 
I like the film, but it seems the days of $2 to $3 a roll are over. I bought mine from the only U.S.-based retailer I found on Ebay. It came (as expected) in about three days, so I am sure it didn't come from China.
 
I wouldn't bother with it. It's cheap for a reason. I tried it some years ago and it's horrendous to scan, it would never dry flat and was like a coiled spring.

I wonder if it has improved? I was delighted with mine, but I'll be the first to admit - I've only shot one roll out of the eight I bought. But I liked it well enough to promptly load it into two other cameras. No curl issues for me.

I've read a lot of complaints about the backing paper though. It tears too easily, the tab at the beginning of the roll is cut funny, the gummed sticker at the end has no adhesive, the frame numbers bleed through onto the negative... Wacky stuff.
 
three feedbacks, yea, go for it.
Just as I went earlier for 15$ 50 1.8 made in China lens from chinese seller.
He even send me tracking number (fake).
