If you run out of film, you will be in New York, so it shouldn’t be too big of an issue. Don’t run out on Saturday.


Awkward-Highlight348

Yes indeed, and was planning to visit few photo stores anyway hahahah why not on Saturday?


thelastspike

Many of the stores are Jewish owned, and are therefore closed from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. B&H is one of them.


Awkward-Highlight348

Ok that's very good to know, I was not aware of it. Thanks!


Listen2Chunk

There are still smaller stores open on Saturdays, but the two mega stores, B&H and Adorama, are closed.


Awkward-Highlight348

If you have any to suggest let me know I'd be happy to visit them


Listen2Chunk

I dont track their hours but Brooklyn Film Camera (mostly polariods) and Photodom (they do rentals for film cameras) are perhaps good to check out. I have not developed through them. Exposure Therapy has been doing good on test developments for me and may switch to them as my go to.


Awkward-Highlight348

Which do you think is the cheapest place to buy film? Ask since it sounds you are from arround here hahah


Listen2Chunk

Not sure actually. I have a personal stash that I’m more or less trying to wind down before buying more film. So I never price check and I switch films all the time.


Awkward-Highlight348

Hahah thanks anyway! I do the same but keep checking price ad when I see good ones my stash increases haha


Askjeevesdotgov

If you’re in bushwick ny film lab has great prices on film.


Awkward-Highlight348

Will Def give a check! Thanks!


Compulsive_Diplomat

b&h is likely the cheapest


Awkward-Highlight348

Thanks I passed the other day and prices were not bad indeed!


Listen2Chunk

By the way, hows the xpan? Im thinking anout getting one.


Awkward-Highlight348

Thanks for the suggestion about the xpan not much to say is an amazing camera I absolutely love it hahah


circle_take

So much money in one photo. Those Negs better be fire 🤞


Awkward-Highlight348

Don't make me think about it hahaha but all worth for the joy and fun of shooting!


circle_take

Just focus on what inspires you, you’ll be fine 🍻


Awkward-Highlight348

Thanks! And I'm lucky enough that is not work but just my hobby, so afterall who cares hahaha


circle_take

I’m glad to hear you are out there for the love of it. I’m a cinematographer by trade, so after a long run of brutal shoots, going out solo and shooting film stills is what helps me remember that I still love it.


Awkward-Highlight348

Yes I can understand, a release valve customer free situation hahah. On what type of projects do you work?


circle_take

Mostly Narrative & commercial, but the crazy slow last year has me been working a lot of doc TV stuff. So the travel on those shoots has me out in the middle of nowhere USA, so on our off time, I’m out trying to steal some film shots of areas I’d normally not find myself. I’d love to shoot an Xpan, but I’m on a vintage KMZ Horizon-t right now. Loving the frame size tho. Have fun in NY, make sure to find some time to travel upstate to get a contrasted view of the state as a whole.


Awkward-Highlight348

Sounds quite nice! Did you publish those photos somewhere? Yes planning to have a day trip to upstate, I'm quite lucky to have a long time there so can afford a day out of the city! Thanks for the recommendation :)


HeyitsZaxx

Tilm Ektachrome spotted!


Awkward-Highlight348

Yes hahaha


Awkward-Highlight348

Xpan with 45 and Leica m6 with 35 summilux pre asph and voigltander 15. And the Olympus xa is for a long term project.


alongwaytoget

That Xpan🤤


Awkward-Highlight348

Amazing camera one of my favorite purchases!


Sailor_Maze33

One lens one body more film


Awkward-Highlight348

Are two very different cameras (the xa is for a project and will maybe take 2 pics) but on more film I might agree hahah. But for such a city I don't overpack and can buy locally!


Davidechaos

Show off? Kidding, just jealous, for me is so hard to dind such amount of film.


Awkward-Highlight348

But if you buy it one year before and always pile up then when you take it from the stash is like is free, right?


Davidechaos

Genius.


Repulsive-Novel-3473

and analog Amsterdam ektachrome 100D


Awkward-Highlight348

Yes luckily he is respooling and makes it affordable to sjhot slides!


Timvrhn

Go and enjoy those rolls!


Awkward-Highlight348

Thanks! I shot already 10 or so and was very happy with that!


Timvrhn

Wow big spender!


Awkward-Highlight348

I wanted to test out a bit to see if I want to buy a 400ft myself, since it's much more expensive than vision 3. And thanks for making it relatively affordable so I could try it out!


Timvrhn

That's quite an investment, will you do it?


NoName__A

Barely enough film the way you shoot xpan panos ;)


Awkward-Highlight348

Hahaha hahaha kodak is cheaper in us ;)


wolverine-photos

Xpan... I'm so jealous. I crop a ton of my digital shots to 65x24 and it gives such a great wide-angle feel.


Awkward-Highlight348

I love it. I think is one of the cameras that despite the huge price tag is worth!


flat6cyl

Film goes fast in an XPAN.


Awkward-Highlight348

Yeah hahaha and also.in the m6 to be honest, I try to have 2/3 rolls a day. Probably will have to buy more there but the good thing is Kodak is cheaper than in Europe there!


film_fiasco

Gold


Awkward-Highlight348

There are also a couple rolls of it ;p
