chinese films

[ujjwaldey8165]

I stumbled in the internet about these cheap chinese 35 mm B&W films. Seems they are OK.

Does anyone have any experience? whats the quality?

Also have anyone used bulk films? Pros and cons?

The reason I ask is becuase I am trying to find cheap 35mm reasonable quality B&W films to practise

Hi there - I have 10 rolls of the Era BW here, first roll is out of the camera and ready to develop but I am here and the bottles are somewhere else! I had heard though that they are OK but add maybe 20% - 30% ASA on the ratings on the box... couldn't hurt I thought! At £18 delivered and a possible 360 pix (720 with the half frame cameras!) I was game for a go.

I shot some Lucky SDH100 a while back, its a had some good and bad reviews but I quite liked it for £1.50 a roll..

The thing is ; Ilford bulk works out to around 1.70 per roll of 36 exp. And the bulk loaders a almost free on the ebay. The thing is to load the bulk film in the loader, which has to be done in total darkness. If Silverprints can do it for me, I'll go bulk
