Afternoon all,

So I'm at wits end, my recently purchased bag of film from London has run out and I'm in desperate need of 120/220 Kodak/Fuji film (160 iso, 400, 800) but it seems that most places have now stopped stocking them.
Can anyone share a location which might still have stock?

Thanks

Fotofile only had Ektocolor and only 2 packs of those. Luckily Foto Hobby just had a new box in and I managed to get a large amount of Portra 160 VC (by far the best film I've ever worked with)

They also had load of fuji (100 iso -> 800 iso) in stock. On a side note, I'm back in the UK in 2 weeks for a series of shoots, if anyone wants any hard to get film, let me know and ill bring some back with me

Hi danielc,

I know this comes sort of late. But have you tried those photo labs on Ladphrao intersection across from Central Ladphrao? Get out of Central from MacDonald's on ground floor, walk through some clothes vendors and cross the fly-over and you should see about 15 or so photo labs lined up on the other side of the street (which I believe is Pahonyotin Road). I don't know why there are so many of them in one place. But it's good to know that they're there.

Most of them have abandoned film but there are some bigger ones frequented by wedding photographers and students who shoot slides.
These are well stocked in fresh 135, 120, and sheet Provia.

I believe you can also look up a local film distributor from a phonebook and have your supply delivered in bulk. At least that's how I used get them back at the studio.

Cheers,
