Paulo Arellano Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I just purchased a 16mm camera and i need film, i was checking out bh.com and the prices for 100' of 16mm seemed too high compared to unexpired film on ebay. What do you guys recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted December 17, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 I recommend calling up Kodak directly, getting friendly with a rep there and seeing what they can do for you. It's the route I normally go. http://motion-sales.kodaksurveys.com/index.php?ref=kodak.com/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Matthew W. Phillips Posted December 17, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 The Kodak route is probably the best to ensure fresh stock but dont expect a great deal. Right now a rep is offering me just slightly higher than student rates on 7230/5230. For 19' stock, dont expect less than about $140/roll delivered. I was informed from my rep that the days of deep discounts and comp stock are over. Kodak has to tighten their budget. So if you need seriously deep discounts, go eBay or short ends/recans. If you can afford retail but expect a small discount, contact Kodak directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Kubin Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If it's to test then Ebay is fine. If you care about the project buy fresh stock...it will be worth it Also, ORWO is cheeper for B/W than Kodak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Howell Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 not sure what the US to UK exchange rate is like at the moment but unless it's a typo Fuji UK are doing 400ft for under £30! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted December 18, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 If fuji had been doing that a few years ago I might have shot a lot more film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If you had shot film a few years ago Fuji may not have stopped producing motion picture film , so i blame you Phil for the end ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
