Film in Canada

[srs5694]

FWIW, Freestyle has some films in their clearance area with enticing prices. Of particular note: Arista Pro 50 (rebadged Ilford Pan F+) 100-foot bulk spools for US$11.69 and Fujicolor Super G 100 100-foot bulk spools for US$9.99. The Arista Pro 50 is 4 months past date, IIRC (I just got two bulk rolls today and tucked them into my freezer). The Fujicolor is also past-date, but I don't know by how much. At those prices, you could buy a bulk loader and some reloadable cartridges (or pick some up from a 1-hour lab to recycle them) and come out ahead with just one or two bulk rolls. I don't expect the Arista Pro 50 would be noticeably bad at only 4 months past date.

It looks like Freestyle offers both USPS/Canadian Parcel Post and FedEx shipping to Canada. As I live in the US, though, I can't offer any firsthand experiences with Freestyle shipping to Canada.

Vistek.ca is my fav for film. Order over CDN $100 and shipping is free. Also, if you don't live in Ontario, you don't pay PST.

If you're looking for something more local, maybe Lens and Shutter in Victoria could help you out.

Another vote for Freestyle,

I typically buy in larger quantities, so I find that Freestyle is a pretty good deal. I last ordered some of there 'clearance' Arista Pro which was Delta-100. I also picked up 20 rolls of Fomapan 100. I find that if you buy in a largeish quantity, right now, with the CAD so strong, the deals are good.

I've also used Photoco in Montreal and Henry's in TO. Photoco has very inexpensive shipping. Henry's has higher prices, and higher shipping, but I've found that they always have what I want and are lightning fast in the processing and shipping and their customer service is excellent.

Just my $0.02

Downtown Camera in Toronto as rolls of Agfa Silvertone 400, 24 exposures for $2.50 or something like that.
