Not as good as the £8 for 5 rolls, but AG photographic have some recently expired Provia 100F at £14 for 5, which is rather tempting
Hi all POUNDLAND have Agfaphoto 200 vista plus 36 expo in date 2014 I bought 10 boxes any thoughts.
Mmm I wonder if there will be any of this Agfa Vista left in the pound shops when I get to the UK next month....Perhaps some kind person could pick up say 10 rolls or so for me and post on to a relative in the UK...I could then pick em up when I visit.
This is assuming that the postage cost wont turn them into £2 films!! lol
There's always been plenty whenever I've looked - it's not particularly new knowledge amongst film shooters in the UK (the ones on the internet anyway).

Asha, I can pick you up some if you want, they have loads in my local PL.
Unfortunately not a bargain for anyone to try and get, but someone paid £46 for a Jobo CPA2 with a lift - which is almost daylight robbery.

And the fact that it was verified as thermostat/heater working, comes with the 6-bath E6 template rather than the usual 3-4 bath... any of you the lucky one?

Acros is all I use @100 iso. Superb film with smooth tone and very fine grain.
There are some nice examples of Acros 100 rated at ISO 80 and stand developed in Rodinal 1+100 for 50 mins here : http://www.danimalweb.co.uk/blog/2011/01/28/an-introduction-to-stand-development/
they look a bit grainy to me...
They look like USM has picked out grain that normally wouldn't be apparent.
Maybe selective rather than global sharpening could be the conservative choice, or maybe I'm just too used to 6x6....I dunno ??
I think I'm seeing "sharpening artifacts" rather than grain in those shots on the blog - perhaps due to their being sourced from flickr, and flickr's own (often rather harsh) resize down and sharpen algorithms... shame he didn't link the files properly, passing through to the flickr sources, so we could have a shuftie at the original uploads :shrug:
Acros looks lovely. I'm rather tempted to try it, especially at that price

that depreciation is insane
