Art, where are you finding that you can buy 15 rolls for $50?

Some outdated Kodak Polycontrast fiber (scope on eBay), a packet of Arista Powder Lith chemicals, and some Moersch carbon toner.

i think arista edu 400 is tri x and it is 2.49 / roll-24 + 2.69/roll-36

Freestyle had lots of stuff, maybe this list is for myself, haha. How about a cheap holga and a couple rolls of 120? (They lots of other toy and pinhole stuff under $50). Or a grab bag of weird films from freestyle u have wanted to try. Do you develop your own film? How about trying some different developer or if you don't develop, a Paterson tank and some developer and fixer. There cyanotype and gum bichromate kits if u are feeling adventurous. ( I do not have a large format camera but have cheated by making a large negative by scanning and printing on acetate.)

Sorry! You're right....bad quick math on my part. It's 3.49 a roll. So more like 14 rolls or 12 if you want to count postage. That's 35mm 24 exp. at B&H as of late last week.

The great thing about photography-related books is that you don't have to be specific, and your friends can suprise you... These are some of the books I've received as gifts...

Jerry Uelsmann, Yosemite
James Balog, Tree
Diane Arbus, Revelations
Max Yavno, The Photography of...
Edward Steichen, A Life in Photography

Great idea!

* A bunch of film rolls you've been curios about testing
* Consumables (paper/film/chemicals)
* Photos/Books of your choice/taste

I sure could make a long list, was it me...

Gift cards, while not very personal, are great for folks who have no idea that Pyrocat is not the same as a digital photo magazine subscription.
