Being a UK student and buying film directly from Kodak

Rachel Rayns · April 1, 2009

Hey,

I know my university's Film department has a deal with them, but as I'm technically a Fine Art student I don't know if it applies to me - I'd also like to be able to order whenever I need some, but I understand kodak may not want to be sending out the odd ten rolls.

Does anyone know how this works?

Well I don't know specifically about super-8, but I've ordered single 100ft spools of 16mm film directly from Kodak UK - that's the same filming duration as a S8 cartridge.

Their price was/is the same as the cheapest online supplier I could find, but Kodak don't charge for postage, so it works out cheaper overall. If you can get a student discount as well, then even better! :)
