Hopefully we can build a list of reliable film suppliers. Please make this thread into a sticky, thanks.

Silverprint. I can go in person and I like to support a local business.
 
jessops seem to have a permanent 3 for 2 offer on at the moment so i get a pile from there when i run short.

ive also used Silverprint who were just fantasic in delivering to me, they saw my delivery address was in london so they phoned me up and told me they would courier it round to me there and then for no extra cost. Awesome!

7 day shop and RK photographics at the moment..but always got an eye out for something cheap.
 
Ebay mostly, but often from my local, they charge out of the ass, but its worth it to keep em alive.
 
Although living overseas, I find myself using AGPhotographic] as usually they offer a good range of products.

Their prices remain competitive even with overseas p&p if buying in bulk.

I occassionally use ebay and a couple of local retailers for odd items.

I have used amazon for bog standard fuji stuff, tend to use amazon for Ilford stuff too.
 
I live far overseas so maybe not much use to others but I bulk buy boxes of 5x4 Ektar 100 from B&H in the US.
 
As I mostly shoot LF Astia atm my only reliable source in the EU is Macodirekt. they are great, a huge range of film and speak great english as well if you do decide to call them to ask something

In the UK it was always Silverprint for me, not always the cheapest, but always there and always deliver
 
AG photographic have as said earlier a good range of films and developers etc and are very helpful over the phone. Also use Discount films direct, who have very reasonable postage charges,and I find exceptionally fast delivery.
 
Mainly Ebay, but I have used 7 Day shop in the past and Jessops, a bit of a mix I guess.

I also have a real confession to make.

I buy 200 ISO Kodak Colour Print film, cheap and cheerful from pound shops!


I first bought £shop film for my 14 year old daughter who was keen to try film with her recently acquired Nikon FM. I know I was being a cheapskate but after seeing the results I have used the stuff myself on occasions for fun.

Confession over
 
a mixture for me. Always on the look out for a good deal.

Just bought 4 x TMAX 3200 for £12 posted :D
 
Mr Singh, next door has some Agfa 200iso, expiry date 2006. Ten bob (50p) each.
Any good? Or will it be squit?

At 50p a roll it might be worth a punt, don't expect consistent results though
 
AG Photographic are amazing & my first choice for most things traditional!
 
I get most of mine from 7dayshop if they've got an offer on or from the classified ads on here :)

Certainly worth buying a couple of rolls - a quid ain't going to break the bank and while the colours may be well off, the results may well be interesting - the films may even be perfectly OK - it's pro films that tend to be fussy abot dates.
 
I have just bought 5 rolls of Kodak Professional Ektar 100 - 120 for £17.79 (free postage) from 7dayshop. Seems like a good price at the moment :)
 
Not sure if this is a national deal, but Jessops in Epsom were doing 3 for 2 on film over the weekend.

Ilford XP2 135/36 exposure at £6.99 and 120 for £4.99 become fairly reasonable on that deal. I cleaned them out of their stocks. :)
