Buying colour film
I don't use a lot of colour film (120 Provia 100 for RFB) these days, but is there a recommended supplier for price/freshness? Thanks. Dennis.

Re: Buying colour film
I'd suggest Ag Photographic or Robert White for Fuji products:

Re: Buying colour film
AG-Photographic are excellent and I recommend them highly. Kodak Ektar is particularly cheap there at the moment.  I would also look at Calumet.  You can order online and collect in any of their stores for free.  Sometimes their film prices are extremely competitive.  I think their postage charges are pretty steep though at £6.99.

For price...
I've not used them myself but a lot of people on other boards get film from http://www.7dayshop.com
They're in Guernsey so delivery will likely take longer and stock levels seem to vary quite a bit.
OTH, it's good to support the specialist shops even if things do cost a bit more.

I've found 7dayshop to be excellent and very well priced but delivery is a little slower depending on stocks. Calumet are also excellent and super-fast on delivery. Another one to try is http://www.discountfilmsdirect.co.uk Their postage rates are very reasonable.

Re: Buying colour film
Thanks for all the suggestions. I am inclined toward AG having bought from them previously. Dennis.

Re: Buying colour film
Why is Kodak SO much more expensive than Fuji? There is almost a 10pound difference between ProS and Portra.

Guessing it's something to do with the exchange rates at the moment.
