Fujifilm Fujicolor 200 $1.99

Cool deal but it is 24 exp rolls

(About a year ago 36exp of this was $1.49 at Adorama and I filled my freezer then!)

FWIW the 36exp rolls of Kodak Colorplus 200 is $2.99 at Adorama

This works out the same price per shot as $1.99 24 exp. But works out cheaper if you send it out to get dev and scanned as labs nowadays charge the same flat rate for 24 or 36 exp film. With 36 exp you get 50% more images scanned for the same price, and that is where the bulk of the cost is.
 
Showing the math..

24 exp @ $1.99 + $10 dev/scan (thefindlab.com) = $11.99.
Price per shot = $11.99/24 = $0.50

36 exp @ $2.99 + $10 dev/scan = $12.99
Price per shot = $12.99/36 = $0.36
 
$2.05 for dev ($15 minimum order [that's 8 rolls] free fedex return ship at millerslab.com)

Scan roll on the pakon: 3.5 minutes of time :)

19 cents/shot, including the $3.34 to mail the 8 rolls to millers
 
Would be interesting to learn the expiry date of the film when you get it, Bill. I think Fujicolor 200 is Fujicolor C200, which appears to have been discontinued a couple of years ago. That's about when it disappeared from the shops I used to get it from here in Japan anyway. I wonder if BH is selling off the last of the stock?

Also, its surprising that BH (and the other sellers in the US that I checked) do not stock Fujicolor 100. In Japan, we've got Fujicolor 100 (which is quite a decent film) but not Fujicolor 200.
 
Just before Christmas, B&H had this film in 36 exposure rolls at the $1.99 price. Having tried it, I would say that if you only take landscapes, it's probably OK. For portraits, its rendition of skin color is pretty horrible. It is the color negative equivalent of Velvia for skin colors - way too red.
 
Hi,

Prices in UK;

24 exp at Poundland (as Agfa Vista) £1 + £3 = £4 ÷ 24 makes 16p a file or 22 US cents a file for processing and scanning... Usually better at 25 shots a time. I guess Fuji's C200 is filling the role Kodak Gold had.

Trouble is, the local lab may close, or be sold to Jessops but no one knows yet. I have a Plan B, I hope.

Regards, David

today I got 24 exp. C200 locally (Barcelona, Spain) and expiration date is 2018/06, price here is around 3,20 Euro per roll + tax.

But two-pack 36 exp. C200 is 2 Euro per roll + tax (5 Euro tax inc. for the two roll pack)
I will order some of this two-pack soon and see what's the expiration date on them.

Can't find Fujicolor 100 locally, so far.
But one can buy Lomography 100 here, which I read is similar. No idea if true.
Lomo 100 is 3 Euro/roll + tax on a 3-pack at the Lomo shop.
