For the past two years or so I have acquired a cache of roll film, mostly expired and I have shot some and posted some online in this blog. I finally got around to take inventory of what I still have. They are mostly Craigslist purchases when they were offered at a pretty reasonable price like perhaps $1 a roll. Now more often than not, they are now offered like $3 a roll even when they are expired or even way way expired, I think that's pretty ridiculous. The loose rolls I have with future expiration dates are free from Kodak with the exception of two from Fuji. I got them when I attended the Photoplus at Jacob Javits Center here in New York City. I seldom shoot so this collection may last for a few years. But then you never know. I may become a bigger film waster than I envisioned. With my Hasselblad or Yashica Mat 6x6 format, each roll of 120 can render 12 frames assuming I don't foul up any frame and so far I haven't. I don't even bother to keep them in a refrigerator as mine simply doesn't have enough room for them anyway. 53 rolls x12=636 frames from the 120, and 72 frames from the 2 rolls of 135. For each roll, if I were to develop and scan, not fancy or anything, it's about $11 per roll, no proof or anything, that will cost me 55x11 = $605. Shocking. If I were to print then an additional (636+72) x 20cents each = 141.6. Shocking.
Or for the 18 rolls of 125PX, I can do it myself ... like buying HC-110 and other chemicals. I think it may cost like $50. For a flatbed that can do 120 film scanning, perhaps $200. There aren't really any savings doing it yourself unless you consider it fun.

wp2007 rarely reads my posts if at all. But that doesn't stop him from commenting.
ReplyDeletewp2007 maybe having some problems in doing what she has to do. Let's just hope that she can overcome the technical difficulties soon. I am waiting with bated breath.

ReplyDeleteDon't hold your breath. wp2007 is probably meandering through some other dark alleys and corners on the Web. You won't be seeing him here too often.
