Retro film

[Jonathan Allen]

does anyone know a good place to buy retro colour 35mm film. Been looking on eBay and they want silly prices for expired film. Or just a site to by nice colour film.

 

[Dave Green]

Not retro - but I buy my film from Silverprint.

 

[Jonathan Allen]

Thanks Dave. I'll check them out.

I get mine from Poundland, AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 200 which is actually Fuji film and very good, 24ex for £1

Hey, poundland. I like the sound of that. Will go to my local one tomorrow and see if they have any.
Cheers for that Ian.

Just had a look at some sample images of the AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 200. It's not the look I am after but will be good for general use especially for a £1.

I can't really explain the look I want except a washy look if that makes sense and it will be for portrait work, some with lighting.

I love AGFA Vista but haven't seen any at Poundland for about 6 months now

Kodak Portra 160 would be my starting point then.

 

[Jonathan Allen]

Cheers Dave. That's the one . I'll see what look I can get with different setting and also try and get some expired 160.

I bought some more a few weeks ago, and have since bought a Tetenal C41 kit and some 12x16 paper.
