Hmm. Ebay!

Sometimes you've got to love it.

Just arrived at my door, 40 rolls of (8 months out of date, but still) NPS in 120, for a tenner plus delivery.

That will probably be all the 120 colour neg I need for the next 5 years!

Hopefully it wasn't put through an x-ray scanner. 🙂

Unlikely. It's only come a couple of hundred miles up the road.

Still, I'll know better when I've shot a roll or two over the next week.

Mark - where from!?

A seller called triltd0113. They are a photo store in real life.

I would have posted a HU, but I got the last two.

However, they now have some Astia and some Velvia in 35mm, not quite as cheap, but still good going. I've grabbed 10 rolls of Astia now, too.

 

[zuikologist]

Good going. That should keep you busy.

That's the idea. I have a mixed history of buying film on eBay.

A while ago I bought some Neopan 400 in 120, for what I thought was a really good price. Except I was in my head dividing by 10 to get the per roll price for a 5-pack! Most expensive Neopan I've ever bought...

However, when it works it's great. We'll see if this has worked once I shoot a couple of rolls and get them processed. Either way, only 10 quid gambled.

mmmmmmm... tempted by some of that Astia... only a bit cheaper than you can get fresh stock from 7dayshop except 7dayshop don't actually *have* any Astia which doesn't help anyone.
I was about to ask how likely I am to notice a difference with almost expired stock... but then remembered I'm still shooting with 1 year old Velvia that's countless times been heated up to 40C+ then chilled back to zero and am still quite happy with it... so I'm probably not that fussy I'm thinking..

I shoot mostly outdated film in my pinhole cameras to get that old-timey look.
