16mm short ends/cheap stock to UK??   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3044 of 3057 |
Hi again all, and glad that I might have kick-started the
forum's "Second Life". Happy to oblige! ;-),

I'm still pondering the K3. So another question that may help me
decide to buy one:

As I'm on a VERY tight budget, and as shooting on 16mm is similar to
running gold dust through one's fingers, does anyone know where you
can get cheap 16mm film stock? If I get a K3 I shall obviously want
to do some tests, so cheap and even outdated stock will suffice for
those first few rolls. I'm based in the UK, but as long as they will
ship to the UK I'm open to sellers from outside. I have already done
some online searching and although I found some very nice prices for
short ends etc (Pro 8mm and Spectra to name but two), my joy was
somewhat short-lived when I dicovered the shipping costs to be
astronomical - even for a single roll (buying large amounts would
work out okay, but not small amounts).

Again, any help would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for those guys! I've already emailed them for further details. Sounds like shooting 16 doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg after all... Well, maybe...
