I was thinking maybe a bargains and deals thread?

[Blighty]

The good people of Apugland might know this already but Firstcall Photographic now stock P3/4 ES enlarger lamps. See here - http://www.firstcall-photographic.co.uk/products/240/lamps-p34-es-screw-enlarger-lamp These are the 150w opal jobbies that I've never been able to find elsewhere. I am informed that they're probably Chinese in origin (phillips having stopped making these some time ago) but anything's better than nowt. They're a handsome fiver apiece and they've got plenty in stock, or so they tell me! Regards, B.

I think there should be one

I'll start the ball rolling 100sh Ilford MG Pearl 6x4" £6.99 http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_1&products_id=7878
7 day shop is in The Channel Islands they can be cheap because they are subject to a lower tax rate than the rest of the U.K, and they only ship within the uk

Is out of date Tmax 3200 from 7DS likely to be any good?

[perkeleellinen]

I don't know how 7DS store their film stocks. It's only a few months out - maybe worth a stab?

[ajuk]

I doubt it's refrigerated, but does anybody know if it's at least air conditioned?

[ajuk]

They sell Kodak ColorPlus in Poundland, not the best, but if you're looking to achieve an '80s look or test a camera, that's the stuff to get.

I wonder if 7DS will survive, without the price incentive who would wait a week for their goods?

Another deal - £4.29 for 3 rolls of Kodak Gold 200. Works out at £1.43 for a 36 exposure roll!
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_1&products_id=113230

[ajuk]

Yes but it's Kodak Gold!

[stavrosk]

yes but it's 1.43

[BrianShaw]

What do you think is wrong with Kodak Gold?

[freecom2]

Needless to say, that deal expired a while back. 7dayshop price drops tend to only last about 48 hours at most. I picked up 9 rolls anyway, £13 for 9 rolls really was a no-brainer. Like the results I get from Gold personally. Sure, it's no Portra, but neither is the price.

If your local branch of Boots sells film, they seem to be clearing out their own brand slide film (which I believe is rebadged Fuji sensia) mine had rolls going for £1 each process paid.

Read tthis last night and popped into local Boots today just in case. They certainly have it on the shelf, but still listed at £9.99 a roll on a 3 for 2 basis. :(

[perkeleellinen]

No luck at Boots in Banbury and Leamington Spa, might check Coventry tomorrow.

7DS have Neopan 1600 on special offer, 5 rolls for £16.99: http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_1&products_id=113399

[ajuk]

Yes but it's Kodak Gold!

I seem to remember it was used for a review of a Nikon F6 I saw way back in the day in Amateur Photographer, the reviewer had taken it onto a cruise ship and somehow forgotten to bring film, it was all he could get from ship's shop and it looked like absolute garbage, reminded me of an ISO 800 film.
And remember this was a review of the Nikon F6 at a time when film was in it's biggest decline.

Morrisons in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan have boxes of three Fuji c200 currently discounted at £2.98.
