I wouldn't take anything into Max Sp, they've been awful every time I've used them.
Asda is my personal choice, it's £2 a roll, (dev & scan) and an extra £1 for the cd (up to 4 films per cd). turned round in an hour.

Yes ... I must admit that I often averted my eyes as they dragged the negatives across the floor
Asda sound good although I have sworn off colour film

Another overcast light shot. Excellent saturation, minimal grain.

Ok, David, I'll bite - I wonder how many reading the thread can remember when there were 12d in a shilling, or 48 farthings? (I'm sure Roger will). I still remember getting my head around guineas when I was a callow youth.
Beer prices - my first pint cost about 10d - a Bass between O-level examinations (yes, I was only 15!)
To stay on topic - my local Poundland shops don't seem to have any film - maybe someone beat me to it?

Well looking at some of the shots on this thread has me thinking ,I admit, but I`ve never been entirely happy with colour negative film.
I like the colour from my Merrills and its more flexible for my needs.
I was a Kodachrome user 25/64/200 for thirty years and prefer that colour palette to be honest....if we are talking about just film.
PS ... just remembered that I gave away my last 10 rolls to a friend .

Hi,
I wondered how many would recognise 1/1 as money? And, like everything else, as you get to this age you realise you speak a different language, to the rest of the world.
Poundland has a lot of stores round here but all a 15 to 25 mile round trip and I wonder how to get to them without wasting a day on a bus or a lot of money on the car...
Regards, David

I`m afraid that I can ...I often find myself exclaiming "What two and six " ...sad really
Bags of Poundlands `round here all ...last time I looked ... stacked with the stuff.
Blackpool attracts the retired and many of them still use film.

Have you looked at the price of a newspaper recently?

PS And a half-crown could buy five Mars bars or similar, what coin can do that these days?

I sometimes use my local Asda at £3 for dev plus scan for the convenience and they are okay for the cost but I do have to re-sleeve the negs when I get home (a small freezer bag doesn't quite do the job for me
) and I did have to look away recently when the assistant had my film spooled all over the work surface whilst she quickly cut it into 4 frame strips before popping them into the aforementioned freezer bag.

BTW C200 is not sold anymore in Europe.

They aren't distributing it anymore? C200 and Kodak Colorplus are just about the only films I see on non specialised stores.
Suppose Superia 200 will fill the gap, I observed that both were close in price though.

Aha.
And then why can I easily buy it at my local photo store, or online at
Fotoimpex, Foto Brenner, Nordfoto, Macodirect, Foto R3, just to name a few.
Besides that AgfaPhoto Vista 200 is the same emulsion as Fuji C200.
So there is definitely no availability problem with this emulsion / film type.
