For 35mm colour it is a choice of Cinestill (expensive) or Vision3 (less expensive) with expensive or complicated home processing. Lots of dealers "waiting for stock" of Fuji or Kodak (some very expensive Portra showing up occasionally). For bulk-loading it is XP2 or Vision3 (reasonable to very economical depending how much you buy). 120 holding up better. Perhaps an uncomfortable consequence of Brexit ?

Here is the good ole US of A we did not vote for Brexit…. Insert giant winky emoticon here -> 😜. and because of that we can drive our gas guzzlin SUVs 200ft to our local drug store aka pharmacy, waddle in, grab a 3 pack of Fuji Superia, grab a scoop of Thrifty ice cream, pause for a breather, then head back home. 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anbaric Posted November 12, 2022 Share #43 Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Ah yes - Brexit, the gift that keeps on taking. Not sure mainstream C41 availability is much better in the EU right now, though (especially Fuji). With bookmarks to about 20 UK suppliers and a bit of Googling I can find Portra 800, 400 and 160, Ektar, ColorPlus, Gold and the odd roll of UltraMax in stock somewhere or other without resorting to ebay scalpers (though even the standard price of Portra seems like scalping). All the normal priced Superia is out of stock, though Amazon traders have it at £20+. That guy on ebay with 10 rolls left at £16.49 each is starting to look like a bargain basement retailer.

They were incredibly rude and accepted a return but would not refund return postage. I had to start a PayPal dispute (which I won). Never again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen.w Posted November 14, 2022 Share #50 Posted November 14, 2022 Luckily I still have some Fuji Pro H 400 in the freezer (also some Xtra 800). Analogue Wonderland has some stock of colour film, but no Portra 400 or 800: https://analoguewonderland.co.uk/collections/buy-35mm-film?format=35mm&type1=type%3AColour&pf_t_type_and_condition=true Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimum UK order is 170 EUR to bring it over the threshold where the customer deals with customs processing and tax themselves. They are apparently working on enabling smaller orders again, but that will cost an additional 24 EUR per order. But if they treat customers like they did M9reno, they might be best avoided. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 200 - which I prefer - is priced normally at under $30 for 3/36. The 400 is goofy expensive. You can also check Samys Camera in LA, freestylephoto in Hollywood, and Pauls Photo in Torrance (South Bay area just south of San Monica). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have 35 color negative film in stock. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?q=35mm color film&filters=fct_a_filter_by%3A03_INSTOCK%2Cfct_film-type_1893%3Acolor-negative As for how I looks like.
