FS: Fuji NPS160S 120/220 Film

Post by David Rees » Sat Feb 06, 2010 1:57 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I have a quantity of Fuji colour print film, in both 120 and 220 sizes, stored in a chest freezer since I bought the film in early 2007. The date on the film is May 2006. I bought it as two bricks (20 x 5 pro-pack boxes for each size), so it's all the same batch. According to my records, I currently have frozen 90 rolls of 120 (sealed, in original 5-pack boxes), and 80 rolls of 220 (sealed, in original 5-pack boxes).

I have used some of the film over the years, but I mainly shoot Velvia, so I'm only using 3 or 4 rolls a year, and since I'm now working more frequently with graduated filters, I find I rarely want the added dynamic range this film can give me. So I'm likely to use less and less as the years go by. A lifetime supply in stock, then...

...the problem, however, is that my wife is moaning that the freezer is full of film, and there's no room for anything "useful" (I did buy a big load of Velvia 220 and 5x4 recently, so she may have a point). Since I need to put some Velvia 120 into the freezer in the near future, it appears prudent to try to placate her, so I thought I'd try to reduce my stock of NPS160S film in the meantime.

If anyone wants some of this surplus outdated NPS160S, I'd be happy to sell it on. I'd prefer to sell in units of 5 rolls (one pro-pack).

Price for one pack of NPS160S 120 film (5 rolls): £4.00
Price for one pack of NPS160S 220 film (5 rolls): £7.00
Postage (per pack of 5 rolls): £1.00

If anyone wants a large quantity, then postage will be less.

Drop me a PM if you are interested.

While I was digging out some film for Joseph (thanks!), I noticed that I'd recorded the date of freezing this film on the boxes: 21 September 2006. Shows how poor my meory is getting -- I thought I bought the film early in 2007. So the film was frozen 4 months after going out of date, rather than nearly a year.

I'd be interested in taking some of the 220 film, if it's still available.
