I think you've already picked up all the cheap FD equipment anyone could ever want :)

http://www.fujilab.co.uk/catalog/fujichrome-provia-400x-medium-format-colour-transparency-film-5pack-date-stock-dated-201208-p-988.html?osCsid=2i9qd8qvs1e8l71epm1cdbvlb4

Going by Peaks prices

£429.76
Assuming you send them in all at the same time

:thumbs:
 
I have also got a little low on 120 after shooting it all off in Bristol and Bruge (next, towns beginning with C). Order placed. :thumbs:

Heh, didn't notice the 120x120 thing :lol: Merely tried to keep the final price to the nearest hundred after delivery.

Tetenal E6 5lt kit costs about 65 and meant to cover about 60 rolls although I am getting more mileage of the chemical and not disposing of them quite as early. Overall processing costs are manageable.

Jobo? It did smell like self processing!
 
Yep Jobo CPE2, you could try without and do it manually, but I think it uses more chemicals. I only have to put a minimum of 400ml to process 4 x 120, to do 8 at a time I need 640ml, but that's not recommended because the Jobo I have says not to go past 600ml to avoid excessive wear.
 
Family Bargains shop or whatever it's called that used to be the Focus DIY in Beccles (down from Morrisons) has disposable cameras for £1... only 12 frames though but hey - a pound?

It's a small world, up until about 2 years ago I used to work in Beccles.

Crikey. Nice haul. Thanks for posting, got a few packs of my own (surprised they're still in stock!) :)

Judging from the posts in the I Shoot Film group on flickr, they seem to have run out of stock and most people have received an email saying that they are expecting a delivery to replenish soon.
 
Hope they do it for Provia 100, from the couple of rolls ive shot it's shaping up to be my favorite slide film :thumbs:

It's great - controlled colours but enough 'pop' to satisfy, and tame enough to use it in a wide variety of shooting settings (unlike Velvia). Shame it's slow really... which is why Provia 400X short dated was perfect! :thumbs:
 
Not such a bargain as the above - but I was quite pleased to find Fuji Superia 400 at £2.99 a roll in my local Sainsburys. Looking forward to seeing how this compares to my usual Gold 200....

Yep, I've just got that too. Half-considering ordering some more, it really is a great price.
 
Aaarg!! Who just bought the Hasselblad 503cw body on eBay for £315 ?

It was listed at £240. I liked the look of it and asked if there was a buy it now price, hoping for a bargain. He replied that he set one at 40% above the start price. Before I could get to it...someone else has already got it!!!

It was minty mint too :(
 
I just bought 50 rolls of fuji 35mm for £107 :)

All old stock, a couple of years out of date. A tonne of neopan, and some velvia, sensia and provia too!

hey don't knock the 8008 (aka F-801) - I gave one away to a friend and kinda regret it, they are actually really good value cameras

Don't doubt that at all, was one of the prosumer AF models and seems to be a bargain buy at the moment - but it's only the lens that is really worth it with that deal!
