Where Can I Source Film? Hey all!
I’m thinking of getting into 35mm or Polaroid photography (likely will end up getting a One Step 2 + for the Polaroid) and I know film is expensive.
Anybody work in this medium? I can’t imagine it’s easy to buy in bulk (especially the newer Polaroid film) and that’s likely the route I’ll go I’m thinking.
If I go 35mm - where’s a good place to get it developed? Where I live in Michigan doesn’t have a lot of dedicated photography stores anymore or ones that can develop 35mm...

Questions for Film Photographers of SG! Heya folks, i've just started out with film photography a month ago - got a nice Nikon FM2 with a good f2.8 prime and i'm enjoying it quite a bit! Have a few questions for you shutterbugs out there:
1. Any recommendations on film to try? I've tried Fuji Superia Color, Arcos 100, and Kodak Gold.
2. What's some good, cheap film to try? Anything below $7.50?
3. Any good film labs to recommend? I've tried Triple D - gotten generally ok scans at a nice price but a little disappointed with a few rolls that came out with scratches and dust ): Tried Konota and it seems ok, but just wondering if there's any other alternative places to head to. Anyone tried Shalom colorlab / the one at Whampao?
4. Any reccos on new gear to try? :) Other Nikon Lenses? Other 35mm systems? Medium format? :)
Thanks!

Freestyle photo is another option if you'd like to order online. I find their prices cheaper than other stores https://www.freestylephoto.biz/
Wanting to load my first sheets of 4x5 film. My reluctance is not knowing how I will develop it. I'd like to find some sort of a hack to use the wire frames for a dunk tank without filling an entire steel tank with chemistry. I know there are options out there like the Stearman Press but I'm trying to find something until I get around to ordering something. Has anyone found a good (inexpensive) method for developing 4x5 that you can find at a local big box store?
I'm looking for a company that sells a variety of inkjet papers to print some of my photography. I'm looking for someone that offers fine art papers, greeting cards, canvas, etc. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi folks. Amazon Prime has let me down again, and I need some film ASAP. Does anyone know which Atlanta camera shops carry bulk packs of Fuji 400H and Portra 800 in 120mm?

I'm guessing you know about http://www.freestylephoto.biz/ You can't just drop by, but they are a good source. Where do you get your C41 done, or do you run it yourself?
I inherited a Yashica-D medium format camera from my grandfather, any recommendations for what kind and where to get film for it? I checked at the Shutterbug in the Streets of Tanasbourne but all he had was 50 speed, and he recommended something faster.
